CREXi

Real Estate

Commercial real estate marketplace with a genuinely free core listing tier, monetised through PRO subscriptions for brokers and a separate Intelligence data product

From
Free

The short version

  • Only CREXi has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: BoomTown pricing across its four tiers (Launch, Core, Grow, Advance) is not published; the site directs buyers to request a demo or call sales instead of listing a figure for any tier; CREXi the genuinely useful lead-conversion features, full contact details and priority placement, sit behind PRO subscriptions with unpublished pricing, so the free tier is a lighter product than it first appears.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

BoomTown

  • Pricing across its four tiers (Launch, Core, Grow, Advance) is not published; the site directs buyers to request a demo or call sales instead of listing a figure for any tier

CREXi

  • The genuinely useful lead-conversion features, full contact details and priority placement, sit behind PRO subscriptions with unpublished pricing, so the free tier is a lighter product than it first appears.
  • CREXi Intelligence is sold as a separate product from PRO listing subscriptions, so a broker wanting both marketing tools and data access is paying two distinct, unpublished prices rather than one bundled fee.
  • As a newer entrant against CoStar decades of proprietary data collection, CREXi Intelligence coverage and data quality in less-active markets may not match CoStar depth.
  • Auction infrastructure is a differentiator but only useful for sellers actually wanting a bid-based process, which is a minority of commercial transactions.
  • Free-tier listings compete for visibility against PRO-tier paid placement, so a broker relying only on the free product accepts lower search prominence than paying competitors.
