Real Geeks Geek AI: text today, voice “late 2026”
Last updated: July 2026
Real Geeks is one of the most sensible buys in real-estate tech, and Geek AI is honestly priced. But there’s one detail that matters if your problem is unanswered phone leads: Geek AI is a textingassistant. Voice is on the roadmap — for late 2026. Here’s the comparison, including what waiting costs.
The numbers, side by side
| Real Geeks + Geek AI | Cadence | |
|---|---|---|
| Platform price | $399/mo + $500 setup (Real Geeks) | $199.99/mo, $0 setup, month-to-month |
| AI add-on | Geek AI Text at $49/mo (Real Geeks) | Included — Cadence is the AI |
| Channel today | Text/SMS only (Real Geeks) | Voice-first: a real call in under two minutes, plus Google Calendar booking |
| Voice availability | Slated for “late 2026” (Real Geeks) | Shipping now — the demo is a phone number: (651) 551-9867 |
| Typical year one | ≈ $5,876 ($399 × 12 + $500 setup + $49 × 12) | ≈ $2,400 ($199.99 × 12, 200 min/mo included) |
Where Real Geeks is strong
Genuine credit: Real Geeks is a solid, affordable IDX website and CRM platform with a long track record, and at $49/mo Geek AI Text is one of the cheapest lead-nurture AIs in the industry (Real Geeks). If you want a capable site-plus-CRM foundation without CINC-tier pricing, it’s a very reasonable choice.
The catch: voice is a year away
- Text-only today: Geek AI engages leads over SMS; it does not place calls (Real Geeks Geek AI page).
- Voice is “late 2026”:Real Geeks’ own materials slate voice capability for late 2026 (Real Geeks Geek AI page) — roadmap dates can also slip.
- Waiting has a price:if voice speed-to-lead is your gap, waiting from now until late 2026 means every hot lead between now and then gets a text instead of a call. That’s a year of your fastest, most bookable leads handled on the slower channel.
What Cadence does differently
- Voice today, not next year: new leads get a real phone call in under two minutes, qualified in your playbook, with consults booked on your Google Calendar.
- Simple flat pricing: $199.99/mo month-to-month, $0 setup, 200 minutes included, then a flat $1/min with a spending cap you set.
- Compliance rails built in: lead-local calling hours, instant opt-out honoring, do-not-call list, consent capture on every hosted form.
- Proof before purchase: call the demo line yourself — one closed deal (~$10k median commission) pays for roughly four years.
Who should still pick Real Geeks
Agents who primarily need an affordable IDX site and CRM, are happy with text-based nurture for now, and can wait on voice. Real Geeks and Cadence aren’t mutually exclusive either — plenty of agents run a site platform for capture and a voice agent for the callback. But if the callback is the problem, don’t wait until late 2026 to fix it.

This number rings straight to Cadence playing a fictional brokerage’s agent. Grill her like a real lead would.
