Real-Helper: Agent is a free iOS app for real estate agents — built around the work you're already doing: run open houses, stay in touch with contacts, track agreements, and document everything. DIGITAL OPEN HOUSE SIGN-IN Set up sign-in on your iPad in seconds. Visitors can scan a QR code and sign in with Apple or Google with a couple of clicks on their own phones, or enter their name, email, and phone on your iPad. They're automatically added to your contacts. No paper sheet, no deciphering handwriting. After the event, you have a ready-to follow-up list. CONTACT MANAGEMENT Every contact - connected buyers, sellers, open house visitors, manually-added prospects - gets their own dashboard: notes, activity log, agreements, chat history, and saved properties. LISTING MANAGEMENT Every property you've added to the app also has its own activity log where you can see notes you've added, open houses you've held, and anytime you've sent the property info to a buyer in the in-app chat or logged an email, phone call, or text message regarding the property. AGREEMENT TRACKING Track Buyer-Broker Agreements and Listing Agreements for every contact. See expiration dates at a glance across your entire contact list. Never let an agreement lapse unnoticed. ACTIVITY LOG & NOTES Log every call, email, text, and showing directly from the contact record. Every touchpoint lands in a timestamped timeline. Months later, when you need to know what was discussed. Open the log and find it in seconds. Print a full activity report to show a seller everything you've done. IN-APP CHAT Contacts who connect to you through Real-Helper, the free companion buyer app, get a direct chat thread with you. Send county property records or web links, answer questions, and coordinate showings. Chat history is logged automatically in the activity timeline. CALENDAR EVENTS FROM CHAT Tap the calendar button from any chat conversation. The app reads the recent conversation and pre-fills an event with its best guess of time and place. Confirm the details, save to your calendar, and send the invitation to your buyer in chat. QR CODES Generate a Real-Helper connection QR. Buyers scan to download Real-Helper and connect with you instantly. Or use the URL QR generator for any link: your agent site, a listing page, a dedicated listing website. Save or share the image directly from the app. PROPERTY RECORDS Create a record for any property - manually, by address, or by sharing a listing URL directly from your browser into the app. Add notes, pull county property data, and share the property with a contact in chat. COUNTY PROPERTY DATA Pull public record data for any property: assessed value, last sale price and date, lot size, year built, square footage, and tax information. Data saves to the property record and is included automatically when you share that property in chat. Available as an optional in-app purchase: 10 queries for $3.99, no subscription required, queries never expire. THE COMPANION BUYER APP Real-Helper: Agent pairs with Real-Helper, a free iPhone app for buyers. When a buyer connects to you through Real-Helper, they see your name and contact info in the app header, and your photo in the in-app chat window. They get a plain-English explanation of the buyer-broker agreement to read on their own time. And they have a genuinely useful home-search organizer: save and compare properties, chat with you directly, accept showing invitations, add their own notes and photos, and run mortgage estimates. It's a great tool to give your buyers - and every time they open it, they see you. Real-Helper: Agent is free. No subscription required. IN-APP PURCHASE 10 queries for RentCast county property data for $3.99, no subscription required, queries never expire

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CINC Agent at none against Real's 1. CINC Agent also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Real's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
