Why agents shop around

Why agents look at Curb Hero alternatives

Curb Hero states on its own site that it is free for solo agents, and free is a real answer. If you hold open houses occasionally and follow up by hand the same evening, a free sign-in app may be everything you need. Agents start looking at paid tools when the sign-in stops being the whole job: when they want the follow-up, the pipeline and the analytics living in the same place as the visitor list.

A free tool can be the right answer

If you hold two open houses a year and you call everyone that evening, a free sign-in app is a sensible choice and we are not going to pretend otherwise. Paying a few dollars a month starts to make sense once the follow-up matters more than the sign-in.

One published price

$7/month or $70/year, printed on the pricing page, the same for every agent. Unlimited open houses, unlimited leads, and no feature you can hit a wall on in the middle of an open house.

The screen is yours to brand

Your headshot, your logo, your brokerage colors, and six kiosk layouts to choose from. The only thing we add is a small credit line along the bottom edge, and paying annually removes that too.

Where the lead goes next

Sign-ins land in a live dashboard with one-tap call, text and email, categories, notes, a follow-up pipeline, repeat-visitor detection and per-open-house analytics. CSV export and an outbound webhook are included.

Everything we state about Curb Hero is quoted from their own public pages and linked, so you can check it in a second tab. We do not publish a feature grid, because a grid goes stale quietly and a stale cell is just a wrong claim nobody noticed.

  • Curb Hero also publishes a paid product for mortgage lenders, built around pairing a lender with agents who hold open houses. Their page for lenders puts it this way.

The checklist

6 things to compare in any open house sign-in app

Whatever you choose, these are the questions that decide whether the tool earns its keep. Here is where Open House Console stands on each.

1Simple, predictable pricing

One flat plan: $7/month or $70/year. Unlimited open houses, unlimited leads, every feature included. No tiers, no per-lead fees, no upsells.

2Your leads stay yours

Export every lead to CSV whenever you want, or have each new sign-in posted to your CRM, Zapier or Make.com by an outbound webhook you point wherever you like. Your database leaves with you.

3Visitor experience

A branded laptop kiosk plus QR phone sign-in, no app download for visitors, sign-ins that survive a dropped connection at the door, and required, validated contact fields so every lead is usable.

4Qualifying questions

Financing status, buying timeframe, working with an agent, and whether they have a home to sell, with address capture. Plus up to three custom questions you write yourself.

5Follow-up tools included

One-tap call, text and email, lead categories, notes, a follow-up pipeline, repeat-visitor detection and per-open-house analytics, all in the one plan.

6Built for individual agents

Five-minute setup, a printable letter-size QR door sign, and a dashboard designed for one agent working their own leads.

Still narrowing the field? How to choose an open house sign-in app walks through the same criteria with no product attached, including how to test each one before you pay.

Straight answer

Is Open House Console the right fit?

Choose Open House Console if you are an individual agent, or a small team, who wants a polished sign-in at the door, every lead captured with working contact details, and follow-up tools that do not need a manual, at a flat $7/month.

Look elsewhere if you need brokerage-wide admin controls, MLS integrations managed by your office, or enterprise procurement. Some platforms specialize in exactly that, and that is a fair reason to pick one of them over us.

Why we built it

Built by a working agent, for working agents

“Built by a working Realtor who got tired of losing leads to bad handwriting.”

Open House Console is the tool I wanted at my own open houses: a clean, professional sign-in that captures every visitor accurately and drops them straight into a dashboard I can follow up from the same day.

FAQ

Common questions

Is Open House Console a good alternative to Curb Hero?+

If you want the follow-up tools in the same product as the sign-in, and a price printed on the page, yes. You get a branded kiosk and QR sign-in, required contact fields, qualifying questions, a follow-up pipeline, CSV export and an outbound webhook for $7/month after a free 7-day trial.

Why pay for a sign-in app when free ones exist?+

Because for a working agent the sign-in is the cheap part. What costs you is the hour on Monday spent retyping names into a CRM, and the visitor you never called because nothing reminded you. $7/month buys the dashboard, the pipeline, the reminders, the analytics and the export. If you already do all of that by hand and it is not costing you anything, keep your money.

Does it have QR sign-in?+

Yes. Every open house gets its own QR code, visitors sign in on their own phone with no app download, and you can print a letter-size QR door sign in one click. A laptop kiosk is included too, and both feed the same lead list.

Can I try it before paying?+

Yes. The full product is free for 7 days. You add a card to start the trial, nothing is charged until it ends, and you can cancel before then. Run a real open house on it, and if it does not earn its place, export your leads to CSV and walk away.
