Platform Comparison
Luxury Presence vs. IXACT Contact: Which Real Estate Platform Is Right for You?
A side-by-side look at an affordable keep-in-touch CRM and a managed growth platform that includes an AI CRM.
These two sit at different price points and solve different problems. IXACT Contact is a low-cost CRM built to keep an agent in front of the sphere they already have, with a written monthly newsletter and reminders doing the work. Luxury Presence is a managed platform for building a brand and a search presence that brings new people in, with an AI CRM included. We are not the cheaper option, and this page is meant to help you work out which problem you are solving.

IXACT Contact capabilities, plans, and prices as advertised on ixactcontact.com, September 2026. Their prices shown here are the annual-billing rates where two are published. “Not advertised” means the capability was not listed on their site when we checked, not that it is unavailable. Luxury Presence plan availability is noted in each row and reflects non-partner packaging as of September 2026. Both providers change their offerings over time, so confirm current scope and pricing with each one.
Platform difference
Keep-in-touch CRM vs. managed growth platform
The bottom line
IXACT Contact is built to make sure the people who already know you hear from you every month, and it is priced so that almost any agent can run it. Luxury Presence is built to create the demand in the first place, with the website, search presence, marketing, and AI CRM in one subscription.
IXACT Contact’s approach
The product is a real estate CRM with contact profiles, a calendar and task list, Keep in Touch call reminders, birthday and move-in anniversary prompts, and an active business area for listings and buyers. Around it sits email marketing with a professionally written monthly e-Newsletter, drip campaigns, e-cards, and video email, plus a responsive agent website with 16 written pages and a bi-weekly blog, a mobile app, and Google, Outlook, and Apple sync (per ixactcontact.com, September 2026). At $46.75 a month on annual billing, with a free trial and no contract, it is one of the least expensive ways to stop losing touch with a database.
Luxury Presence’s approach
Luxury Presence runs on a managed platform built for real estate websites. Hosting, security, updates, and performance work are handled for you. Presence® AI is the intelligence layer across all 10 products, trained on a decade of real estate data spanning 30,000+ sites, with a team of specialists who set the quality bar. You review what it prepares before anything goes live.

Staying in touch
How Luxury Presence and IXACT Contact keep you in front of your sphere
The bottom line
This is what IXACT Contact was built for, and it does it at a price nothing else on this page matches. Luxury Presence works the same database from a different angle, scoring who is likely to transact and drafting the outreach rather than sending everyone the same newsletter.
IXACT Contact’s keep-in-touch system
Their Keep in Touch features prompt the call, and the monthly e-Newsletter goes out written and designed for you under your own brand, which is rare at this price. Drip campaigns come pre-written, e-cards cover birthdays and holidays, and the Social Stream add-on streams curated content to your social accounts for $20 a month (per ixactcontact.com, September 2026). For an agent whose business is referrals and past clients, that combination does the work most agents know they should be doing and never get to.
Luxury Presence’s approach
The AI CRM organizes and enriches every contact across email, phone, and social, then combines website and marketing behavior with property records, life events, and predicted net-worth shifts to surface who is most likely to enter the market, drafting on-brand outreach for your review. Listing Alerts & Homeowner Reports send branded home value and equity updates to homeowners every month, on every plan. We do not write a general monthly newsletter, so if that specific deliverable is what you want, IXACT Contact has it and we do not.
Website and search visibility
How Luxury Presence and IXACT Contact compare on website and SEO
The bottom line
Both include a website with written content. The difference is whether anyone is working on getting it found. IXACT Contact does not advertise an SEO service. Luxury Presence includes SEO & GEO from the Brand plan up and runs it every week.
IXACT Contact’s approach
Their agent websites are responsive, use customizable themes, ship with 16 professionally written pages and a bi-weekly blog, and capture leads into the CRM, with optional IDX listings described as SEO optimized for $50 a month plus a $69 setup fee (per ixactcontact.com, September 2026). They market that IDX add-on as improving SEO performance, and the listing pages it generates are built to be search friendly. What is not among the services they advertise is an ongoing SEO program, AI search optimization, or Google Business Profile management, so recurring optimization and reporting would sit with you or an agency you hire. At their price point that is a reasonable trade rather than an oversight.
Luxury Presence’s approach
Every Real Estate Website starts with a personal design consultation and is built by a professional designer around your brand, with MLS search included. SEO & GEO then builds visibility across Google, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and local search, with hyperlocal blog content, Google Business Profile management, and on-page work every week. The platform also generates keyword-targeted property search pages from MLS data and neighborhood guide pages for local intent, and the All In plan adds a premium SEO and AI search program.
Your brand leads the design. Type, color, and photography are set around your identity, and you can edit any page yourself from desktop or mobile.

Marketing and lead generation
How Luxury Presence and IXACT Contact handle marketing
The bottom line
IXACT Contact markets to the list you already own. Luxury Presence also markets to the market, with Presence® AI producing the content and campaigns and a team of specialists reviewing the output.
IXACT Contact’s approach to marketing
The marketing is email-led: the monthly newsletter, drip campaigns, e-cards, video email, and campaign reporting on opens and clicks, with 2,500 mass emails included each month and bundles beyond that. Text marketing is available once you buy a custom texting number at $5 a month, and lead capture from portals, IDX providers, and Facebook Lead Ads flows into the CRM (per ixactcontact.com, September 2026). Paid advertising, search, and original social content creation are not part of the product, so new demand comes from your own prospecting or from lead sources you buy elsewhere.
Luxury Presence’s approach to marketing
Presence® AI powers marketing across the platform and connects to MLS data, client behavior, and your brand guidelines. Our in-house content and marketing specialists monitor the system and set the quality bar, and clients approve over 99.9% of what it delivers. Paid Ads Management runs Google and Meta campaigns with zero management fees, so all of your budget goes to ad spend. Social Media Management (Beta) delivers two to three posts a week for your approval on Scale and All In.
What Presence® AI powers across the platform
Listing Ads gives every listing its own campaign. The creative is drafted from your MLS data, the campaign ends when the listing goes off market, and the seller gets a branded performance report.
CRM and lead management
How Luxury Presence and IXACT Contact handle CRM and leads
The bottom line
IXACT Contact is a well-built contact manager with strong sync and integrations, priced for a solo agent. The Luxury Presence AI CRM is built to find the deal hiding in your network and to work new leads over SMS on its own.
IXACT Contact’s approach
Contact profiles hold history and social details, the calendar and task list drive the follow-up, the active business area tracks listings and buyers, and automated lead capture brings in registrations from connected sources. Two-way sync with Google, Outlook, and Apple keeps the database where agents already work, and the integration list covers Zapier, Twilio, portal lead capture, IDX providers, transaction tools, and brokerage single sign-on (per ixactcontact.com, September 2026). That sync and integration depth is something Luxury Presence does not match, and for an agent who lives in their Google contacts it matters.
Luxury Presence’s approach
The AI CRM enriches every contact automatically and scores intent from behavior, property records, life events, and predicted net-worth shifts, then drafts the message and prescribes the next action through Smart Tasks. AI Lead Nurture replies to every new lead over SMS in under 60 seconds, qualifies them through conversation, and brings you in when they are ready, on Scale and All In. Nurtured contact limits run from 1,000 on Launch to 50,000 on All In.
AI Lead Nurture replies to new leads over SMS and qualifies them while you work. You approve what goes out, and the conversation comes to you when someone is ready to talk.

Client results
What Luxury Presence clients do compared with market peers
The bottom line
An independent analysis compared 53,152 Luxury Presence agents with 1,081,483 peers across more than 310 U.S. markets between October 2023 and October 2025.
How to read these numbers
These figures show correlation rather than proven causation. Luxury Presence attracts agents who are already high performers, and the data indicates those agents extend their advantage while on the platform. Results vary by market, brand, and how much of the platform an agent uses. The comparison is against market peers, not against any single competing platform.

Source: independent analysis of 53,152 Luxury Presence agents against 1,081,483 market peers across 310+ U.S. markets, October 2023 to October 2025. Figures reflect correlation, not proven causation. Results vary by market, brand, and platform usage.
Scope
Where each platform stops
The bottom line
IXACT Contact covers newsletters, e-cards, contact sync, integrations, and recruiting that Luxury Presence does not. Luxury Presence covers the design, search, advertising, and AI lead work that IXACT Contact does not. The price difference reflects the difference in scope.
What IXACT Contact covers
A written monthly newsletter under your brand, holiday and event e-cards, two-way contact and calendar sync with Google, Outlook, and Apple, a long integration list including Zapier and brokerage single sign-on, a concierge setup service that will upload your database for you, IXACT Recruiter for agent recruiting from $85 a month, and a Broker Program for brokerages (per ixactcontact.com, September 2026). None of that exists on our side, and the recruiting product in particular has no equivalent anywhere in our platform.
What Luxury Presence covers
Luxury Presence does not offer a general monthly newsletter, e-cards, contact sync with Google or Outlook, or a recruiting CRM. What it does cover is the demand side and the client experience: Real Estate Websites with MLS search, SEO & GEO, Paid Ads Management, Social Media Management (Beta), the AI CRM, AI Lead Nurture over SMS, Listing Alerts & Homeowner Reports, Collaborative Search, CMAs & Client Presentations, and a Branded Mobile App on All In. Teams and brokerages with 20 or more agents should ask about custom pricing.
Pricing
Luxury Presence vs. IXACT Contact pricing
The bottom line
IXACT Contact is far cheaper, and for what it does that price is hard to argue with. The comparison only gets close when you add the website design, search work, advertising, and AI lead handling that are inside a Luxury Presence plan and are bought separately alongside theirs.
Luxury Presence pricing is non-partner list pricing as of September 2026 and excludes ad budget. IXACT Contact pricing and capabilities per ixactcontact.com, September 2026. Their free trial length is described inconsistently across their own pages and third-party listings, so confirm the current term when you sign up. MLS pass-through fees may apply on the Luxury Presence side. Both providers change pricing over time, so confirm current figures directly with each one. Teams and brokerages with 20 or more agents should ask Luxury Presence about custom pricing.
What to compare
Be straight with yourself about the gap. IXACT Contact with IDX and Social Stream lands near $117 a month, against $295 for our entry plan, and no amount of framing closes that on its own. What changes the maths is what you buy around it. If you are also paying a designer or another provider for a website, an agency for SEO or content, and someone to run ads, add those in and compare the totals. If you are not buying any of that and do not plan to, IXACT Contact is the better value and we would rather you know it now.
Which platform is the better fit?
Should you choose Luxury Presence or IXACT Contact?
IXACT Contact is built for the solo agent or small team whose business runs on referrals and past clients, who wants a system that remembers the birthdays, writes the newsletter, and keeps the database tidy, without a large monthly commitment. If that is the job, they have done it well for a long time and the free trial costs you nothing to test.
Luxury Presence is the growth platform for top-producing agents. The website is where it starts, and the subscription includes SEO & GEO, the AI CRM, Paid Ads Management, AI Lead Nurture, and the team behind the product. It is how 30% of the agents on the Wall Street Journal Top 100 list run their business.
The question is whether your next year depends on being remembered or on being discovered. Staying in front of the sphere you have is a smaller, cheaper problem, and IXACT Contact solves it. Building a brand and a search presence that brings strangers to you is a larger one, and that is what we are built for.

FAQs
Luxury Presence vs. IXACT Contact FAQs
What is IXACT Contact, and who is it built for?
IXACT Contact is a real estate CRM and email marketing system for agents, teams, and brokerages. It covers contact management, a calendar and task list, Keep in Touch reminders, a professionally written monthly e-Newsletter, drip campaigns, e-cards, a responsive agent website with a bi-weekly blog, a mobile app, and Google, Outlook, and Apple sync, at $46.75 a month on annual billing or $55 monthly (per ixactcontact.com, September 2026). It is aimed at agents whose business comes from their sphere and who want an affordable way to stay in front of it.
Does IXACT Contact include SEO or paid advertising?
No. Their websites ship with written pages and a bi-weekly blog, and the optional IDX add-on is described as SEO optimized, but an ongoing SEO program, AI search optimization, Google Business Profile management, and paid ad management are not among the services they advertise (per ixactcontact.com, September 2026). Luxury Presence includes SEO & GEO from the Brand plan up and Paid Ads Management with zero management fees.
Is IXACT Contact cheaper than Luxury Presence?
Yes, substantially, and that is worth saying plainly. Their plan is $46.75 a month on annual billing or $55 monthly, with IDX at $50 a month and Social Stream at $20 a month as the common add-ons. Luxury Presence starts at $295 a month with a $2,500 setup fee. The two prices buy different scopes, so the useful comparison is their subscription plus whatever you pay for website design, SEO, content, and advertising against one of our plans.
Does Luxury Presence send a monthly newsletter like IXACT Contact does?
Not a general newsletter, no. What we do send is Listing Alerts & Homeowner Reports, which deliver branded home value and equity updates to homeowners every month on every plan, and the AI CRM drafts individual outreach for your review rather than one email to the whole list. If a written monthly newsletter to your entire database is the deliverable you want, IXACT Contact includes one and we do not.
Can I use IXACT Contact and Luxury Presence together?
Yes. IXACT Contact captures leads from IDX providers, portals, Facebook Lead Ads, and Zapier (per ixactcontact.com, September 2026), so leads from a Luxury Presence site can be routed into it if you want to keep your keep-in-touch system where it is. The overlap to think about is the CRM itself, since ours is included on every plan, and the website, since both include one. Map which system owns which job before running both.
Does IXACT Contact offer a free trial?
Yes, with no contract, and that makes it easy to test before committing. The trial length is described inconsistently across their own pages and third-party listings, so confirm the current term when you sign up. Luxury Presence does not offer a free trial, since each plan starts with a design consultation and a build, which is why there is a setup fee.
Does IXACT Contact integrate with other tools?
Broadly, yes, and this is one of their strengths. Their integrations page lists two-way sync with Google, Outlook, and Apple, Zapier, Twilio for texting, transaction tools, several IDX providers, lead capture from major portals, and single sign-on with brokerage agent portals (per ixactcontact.com, September 2026). Luxury Presence is a connected platform rather than a hub for outside tools, so it does not offer that breadth of third-party integration.
Which one is better for a brokerage?
It depends what the brokerage is buying. IXACT Contact offers a Broker Program with branded deployment quoted by phone and IXACT Recruiter for agent recruiting, which we do not offer at all (per ixactcontact.com, September 2026). Luxury Presence supports up to 20 users on All In with agent sub-domains on Scale and All In, and brokerages with 20 or more agents should ask us about custom pricing, since the website, search, and marketing side is usually the larger part of that conversation.
