Access the day-to-day contact information, calendar items, and CRM capabilities necessary for you to manage your client relationships whether you’re in the office, on the road, up in the air, or walking the family dog. Redtail CRM was founded in 2003 as the first cloud-based CRM tailored specifically for advisors to provide anywhere, anytime access to their data and processes, an essential need in our increasingly connected world. Redtail CRM’s companion app aims to provide you with many of the tools from the CRM you access from desktop or laptop, in order that your ability to service your clients effectively remains consistent, no matter the device you are currently using or where you find yourself. If you aren’t already a Redtail CRM subscriber, we welcome you to take advantage of our 30-day free trial! The Redtail CRM app is free-to-use for subscribers. Using the Redtail CRM app, you can stay on top of meetings and opportunities and stay connected to your clients, your prospects and your team: Access your Redtail calendar, as well as the calendar of your other database users. View individually or view multiple users’ calendars at once. See your calendar in Day, Month, or Week (with expandable agenda view for each day of the week) views. Expand your activities to a card view on the today page to view relevant details. Quick completion or edit options are accessible from an activity’s card view (or with a left swipe on a non-expanded card). Create, edit, assign, complete and/or delete activities. The date picker for activities features days of the week along with the date in order to facilitate ease of selection. Add contacts and/or attendees to new activities. Edit contacts and/or attendees on existing activities. Easily access your Contacts A-Z page and your recently viewed contacts, or search your entire database of contacts. Quickly access your contacts’ activities, notes, accounts, contact card and details, important information, keywords and tag groups. Be prepared for every meeting, whether it occurs by schedule or by chance. Reach out to your contacts via phone, text or primary email from any page within their contact record. Click a contact’s address to access Maps and driving directions. Add notes to contact records. Adding notes during or directly after a client interaction allows you to document what is important before it can slip from your mind. This also means you aren’t leaving this all-important task to the end of the day, when there may be competing pressures for your attention. Add or edit activities, phone numbers, email addresses, physical addresses, social media addresses and/or website addresses for your contacts. View, edit or add new opportunities to your CRM.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Redtail CRM at 4.6 against Workplace's 3.1. Redtail CRM also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (675 vs 22). Workplace's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
