roomvu vs CityBlast: A Curated Feed, or Video That’s Actually Yours
CityBlast keeps your feed alive with curated articles shared across agents. roomvu makes original, branded, hyperlocal video that is only yours, and it starts free.
CityBlast is a low-cost social posting service: it scours the web for real estate articles and tips and shares them to your Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn so your profile looks active. roomvu makes original video about your market, with your face or an AI avatar, and auto-posts it to seven networks. These are not the same job, so the real question is not who posts more, it is whether you want a curated feed or content that stands out because it is yours.
What each one is built for
roomvu: original hyperlocal video, made and posted for you
roomvu is a done-for-you hyperlocal video engine. It generates AI market videos and MLS listing videos, adds your face or an AI avatar, and auto-posts to seven networks (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, X, and Google Business) on a guaranteed weekly calendar. The content is exclusive to you and driven by your local market data, and it reads performance across a 350,000+ agent dataset to decide what to make. It also captures leads through landing pages and carries a Lite CRM.
CityBlast: a curated article feed on autopilot
CityBlast’s experts scour the web for articles and tips (local news, homes and gardens, client guides) and post them under your name to keep your feed going, across Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. It also markets a listing-sharing feature where local agents share your listing. There is no original video production, and the curated content is shared across many agents rather than built for you.
What roomvu does that CityBlast can’t
CityBlast recycles articles. roomvu makes original video about your market in three hands-off steps:
Feature by feature
A fair comparison shows wins on both sides. roomvu owns original video and content that is exclusive to you, while CityBlast keeps a genuine edge on curated article posting and its marketed listing-sharing network.

Two notes: roomvu auto-posts to seven networks; CityBlast posts to three (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn), though its own site also mentions Instagram. And the listing-sharing network is marketed on CityBlast’s site, but two 2026 third-party reviews report it is not live yet, so confirm it before buying.
Where CityBlast is the better choice
Give CityBlast its due
- You want the cheapest possible “look alive” posting and nothing more. If your only goal is a feed that does not go silent while you focus on deals, CityBlast’s curated article posting does exactly that, hands-off.
- You want your listings shared to a network of local agents. CityBlast markets an agent-to-agent listing-sharing network. roomvu does not offer one. If cross-agent listing exposure is the specific thing you want, that is CityBlast’s lane. Confirm it is live before you buy.
- You do not want video at all. If video is not part of your plan, roomvu’s core strength is wasted on you, and CityBlast’s article-only model is a cleaner fit.
Why roomvu wins for most agents
roomvu’s job is original video about your market, posted for you, that people actually watch. Curated articles blend in, because shared articles look like everyone else’s feed. Video about your neighborhood, with your face on it, stands out, and that is the whole point.
Bob Sprague of Love Northern Colorado Real Estate reached 220,000 views with no ad spend, by showing up on camera and posting consistently through roomvu. Treat that as one agent’s story, not a guarantee, but it is the kind of result curated article-sharing does not produce. That is the split: CityBlast keeps a feed alive, roomvu tries to make you the agent people remember in your market.
On price, straight up
roomvu
$0
to start, then $79.99/mo. Month-to-month, 7-day money-back guarantee, no activation fee.
CityBlast
~$83/mo
billed annually ($99 month-to-month), plus a reported $149 activation fee. No free tier.
Here is the part that matters for a price comparison: roomvu has a real $0 free tier. It includes hyperlocal market videos, MLS listing videos, weekly LinkedIn auto-posting, a VuCard digital business card, and a Bio Coach that audits and improves your profile. So before you pay around $83/mo for curated article posts, roomvu’s free plan already gives you original market video and auto-posting for nothing. On price, “cheaper than CityBlast” starts at $0, and the paid tier ($79.99/mo) still comes in under it with no activation fee.
The bottom line
Choose roomvu if you want original, branded, hyperlocal video that is yours and built to get watched, plus lead capture and auto-posting to seven networks, starting at $0. For most agents, standing out beats blending in, and that is what original video does.
Where CityBlast fits: it is a reasonable pick if all you want is the cheapest hands-off article feed, or specifically its local-agent listing-sharing network, and video is not part of your plan. It keeps a feed alive. roomvu makes you the agent your market remembers.
