Turf Tools is canvassing software for community and political organizations. As a canvasser, you'll open a turf with an access code provided by an organization, and see your assigned buildings and doors on a map. You'll then record outcomes and survey responses as you go. If you lose connectivity, responses will be stored and synced when you're back online. The organization running the canvass provides you with a turf code and stores the results. Turf Tools is not affiliated with any individual campaign or organization.

Kisi's advantage is ratings volume (25K vs 2) and chart position (#121 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
