Looking past BoldTrail? Start with the facts.
kvCORE was renamed BoldTrail in 2024 by its maker, Inside Real Estate. It's a broad platform that brokerages often roll out to every agent. If you're an agent or a small team looking for something simpler with a published price, here's how KONAH CRM compares.

If your brokerage pays for BoldTrail.
Then the honest answer may be to keep using it. A tool your broker already pays for, with your listings and IDX search wired in, is hard to beat on cost. Agents in that spot sometimes add KONAH for the parts they want handled differently, like the AI Social Media Manager or the AI Transaction Coordinator, without moving their CRM at all.
If you're paying for it yourself.
When the bill is yours, published pricing matters. KONAH CRM is one monthly price with your full industry template, and KONAH CRM 2.0 Pro is one higher price. You can see both on the pricing page before talking to anyone, and the checkout screen shows the same numbers.
What KONAH doesn't do.
KONAH CRM doesn't include an IDX home-search website, a back-office commission system or a recruiting suite. If your business depends on those, keep them or choose a platform that includes them. KONAH's strength is a CRM that's ready on day one, plus social, transactions, video and listing media under one login.
Questions to ask either platform.
- What will I pay in month one and month thirteen, including onboarding, seats and texting?
- If I leave my brokerage, does my account and database come with me?
- Can I export every contact, note and conversation?
- Which automations are on by default, and who wrote the messages?
- How are text and email consent recorded on lead forms?
