What each really costs
Setup and upkeep
- REsimpli comes with its stages, automations and reports already built. You fit your process to it.
- Podio fits your process, because you (or a paid template) build every field, view and automation. When a Zap breaks, a lead quietly stops moving until someone notices.
- Getting out: REsimpli exports leads from the list view, without notes How to export active leads. Podio exports each app to Excel, up to 20,000 items at a time; see how to export Podio.
Pipeline stages side by side
The stage names differ, but most of them line up. This is the map to use if you move from one to the other.
Carry suppression, not just stages
Do-not-contact, wrong-number and not-interested labels should become a suppression list in the new tool, so nobody who asked to be left alone is contacted again.
Which one to choose
- Choose REsimpli if you call and text at volume, want lists and skip tracing in the same place, and would rather pay more than maintain automations.
- Choose Podio if you already have a template you like, someone who can fix Zaps, and a list and texting setup you're happy with.
- Consider neither if what you need is fewer tools and email-first outreach. Parcel (we make it; read our comparison with REsimpli) puts public-record seller signals, email outreach, the pipeline and a buyers list in Deal Sourcing at $99 a month. It has no dialer or texting, so it isn't a fit for call-heavy teams.
Questions
No. REsimpli's Solo plan was $299 a month ($249 billed annually) when we checked. A Podio stack runs lower on paper, but you add your own texting, list and skip-trace tools and keep the automations working.
Yes. Export each Podio app from the All items view to Excel, save it as CSV, and map your Podio stages to the new CRM's stages before importing.
REsimpli's help center says its lead export does not include notes.
