roomvu vs BoldTrail (kvCORE): The Pipeline and the Presence That Fills It

roomvu vs BoldTrail (kvCORE): Marketing and Leads in One Platform

Both give you a CRM, an agent website, MLS tools, and automated lead follow-up. Only one also creates and auto-posts the hyperlocal video that fills the funnel.

The short answer
This is closer than most agents assume, because roomvu is not only a content tool. It gives you a CRM, an agent website, MLS integration, lead-capturing landing pages, automated lead nurturing, an AI Lead Receptionist, and an AI caller, the same pipeline jobs BoldTrail (the platform formerly called kvCORE) is known for. The difference is what sits on top: roomvu also makes your hyperlocal and listing video and auto-posts it across your networks every week. BoldTrail runs a deep pipeline but makes none of your content. So the real question is whether you want your marketing and your leads in one platform, or a CRM that still needs you to bring the marketing.

Two overlapping platforms, one big difference

BoldTrail is a deep system of record: CRM, IDX website, lead capture, behavioral follow-up, and brokerage back office. It is built to catch and work leads. roomvu does the pipeline essentials too, a CRM, an agent website, MLS integration, landing pages, nurturing, AI follow-up, and calling, but it starts one step earlier, by creating the content that generates awareness in the first place.

That is the gap that matters. A CRM can only work leads it already has. Something has to create them, and BoldTrail leaves that part, the videos, the posts, the weekly presence, entirely to you. roomvu builds and posts it for you, then captures and follows up on the leads it brings in. One platform covers the whole loop.

1
It makes your content

Hyperlocal and listing video, posted to seven networks weekly. BoldTrail makes none of this.

2
It runs the pipeline too

CRM, agent website, MLS, landing pages, nurturing, AI Lead Receptionist, and AI caller, built in.

3
It starts free

A real $0 tier with video, a landing page, and lead capture. BoldTrail is quote-only, demo required.

roomvu

roomvu is an all-in-one real estate marketing platform. On the content side it makes hyperlocal market videos and MLS listing videos, adds AI avatar and AI actor video and voice cloning, and auto-posts across up to seven networks on a guaranteed weekly calendar, in 100+ languages. On the pipeline side it includes a CRM (and integrations with Follow Up Boss, Chime, MoxiWorks, WiseAgent, Real Geeks, and more), an agent website, MLS integration, lead-capturing landing pages through the AI Page Builder, automated lead nurturing, an AI Lead Receptionist that captures and follows up with leads, lead scoring that flags your hot leads, and AI calling and texting. For teams and brokerages, roomvu also offers organization accounts with free agent rollout, a brokerage social presence, co-branded content, and an admin dashboard to track adoption and performance. It starts on a real $0 free tier.

BoldTrail (kvCORE)

BoldTrail is Inside Real Estate’s all-in-one pipeline platform, the 2024 rebrand of kvCORE, used by more than 400,000 people. It bundles an AI-powered smart CRM, configurable IDX websites, a lead engine, Marketing Autopilot, BoldTrail BackOffice, and BoldTrail Recruit. Its CRM watches what leads do on your IDX site and adjusts follow-up to their behavior across email, SMS, and ringless voicemail. It is a deep, mature system for capturing and closing leads, but it does not create your social content or video.

Side by side

A fair comparison shows something many agents miss: the two platforms overlap heavily on the pipeline. roomvu sweeps the content layer BoldTrail does not have, matches it across the core pipeline, and BoldTrail keeps a real edge only on enterprise-grade depth.

On channels: roomvu auto-posts to seven networks (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, X, Google Business), with WhatsApp on higher plans. On CRMs: roomvu has its own CRM and also integrates with the major ones, so it fits whether you want an all-in-one or already run a separate pipeline.

Where BoldTrail goes deeper

Give BoldTrail its due. For high-volume teams and brokerages, it is a deeper pipeline than roomvu, and that depth is real.

Dedicated power dialer and enterprise IDX. BoldTrail includes a power dialer and a full IDX search portal with saved searches and listing alerts. roomvu scores and flags your hot leads and has an agent website, MLS integration, and an AI caller, but not a dedicated dialer or a full consumer search portal.

Ringless voicemail and on-site behavior triggers. BoldTrail can trigger follow-up off what a lead does on your IDX site and reach them by ringless voicemail. roomvu automates follow-up through the AI Lead Receptionist and lead scoring, though not off on-site browsing behavior.

Back-office financials. Commission automation, agent billing, and transaction accounting live in BoldTrail BackOffice. roomvu offers brokerage and organization accounts, with a brokerage social presence, co-branded rollout to every agent, and an admin dashboard, but it does not handle commissions, billing, or transaction accounting.

If you are a large team or brokerage that needs that depth and has the deal volume and onboarding time to use it, BoldTrail earns its place. What it will not do is create and post your content.

Why roomvu wins for most agents

For the individual agent and small team, the calculus is simple. roomvu covers the pipeline jobs most agents actually use, a CRM, a website, MLS, landing pages, nurturing, AI follow-up, and calling, and then does the one thing BoldTrail cannot: it makes you visible. It produces hyperlocal and listing video, brands it, and posts it for you every week, so filling the funnel stops depending on whether you had time to film.

Nick Libert of EXIT Strategy Realty in Chicago put his AI avatar into every listing video and reached roughly 5,000 views a week. That is the top of a funnel filling itself while he worked his deals, and it is exactly the part a pipeline-only platform leaves on your plate.

BoldTrail (kvCORE)

Quote-based, demo required, no free trial

Pricing: not published self-serve

Estimate: third-party reviews suggest around $499/mo for a solo plan, sometimes plus a setup fee

Range: reported to vary widely across configurations

Estimate only, not a confirmed quote. Sourced from third-party reviews, accessed 2026-07-09.

The value gap is the story here. roomvu covers both your content and your core pipeline starting at $0, with paid plans from $79.99/mo. BoldTrail is quote-based behind a demo, with third-party estimates near $499/mo for a solo plan, and even then you still have to make and post your own content. For most agents, roomvu delivers more of the job for a fraction of the spend, and you can start before paying anything.

The bottom line

Choose roomvu

If you want your marketing and your leads in one platform, hyperlocal video made and auto-posted for you, plus a CRM, agent website, MLS, landing pages, nurturing, AI follow-up, and an AI caller, roomvu does both jobs and starts free. It is the better fit for the vast majority of individual agents and small teams.

Where BoldTrail fits

BoldTrail is a deeper pipeline for high-volume teams and brokerages that need advanced behavioral CRM automation, a dedicated power dialer, an enterprise IDX portal, and back-office financials like commissions and billing. roomvu has its own brokerage and organization accounts for rolling out marketing across an office, and it integrates with the major CRMs, so many teams run it alongside BoldTrail rather than instead of it. What BoldTrail will not do is make your content.
