Fast Response AI vs Follow Up Boss (the dialer)

Follow Up Boss dials — but only a human can answer.

Follow Up Boss is a great real-estate CRM, but its dialer is human-only — a call missed during a showing rolls to voicemail, and calling is priced per seat. Fast Response AI adds the AI teammate that answers when your agents can't: it picks up live, books the showing, texts the follow-up, and logs it — for a flat $79, no per-seat.
