Matt Allen, Cluttons Global Head of Business Development.A: There is a famous saying: “there is no such thing as a free lunch”. Anything that is being offered for free often comes with strings attached. There are a few free “CRMs” being offered mainly by property portals whose focus is primarily on their portals and not on their “CRM”. Firstly, we would argue that you cannot call these products “CRMs”. These free products on offer are basic listing syndication websites with limited functionality – unlike PropSpace they do not cover the full end-to-end business workflow of a professional real estate company. Would you entrust your business to run effectively on such a platform?
Secondly, you have to ask yourself this question: why is this software being offered for free? No company can afford to offer a great product for free if they are truly going to focus and invest in it. We would advise all clients to be aware that any free product will most likely become paid at some point in time or it may not be continuously developed or maintained. There was once a famous example in the UAE of a free “CRM” being offered by a big portal a few years ago. We would like to ask where is that product now and how many people are using it?
At PropSpace our pricing has remained more or less in line with inflation for the past 6 years – we believe in providing value for money for our clients – that’s why you get so much from PropSpace at a fantastic low cost per licence.
Our core values at PropSpace are to offer great features and value for money to our clients. This is what has made PropSpace the No.1 software in the UAE and MENA.
