AgentSequence vs Contactually: Which is Right for You?

You signed up for Contactually because you knew follow-up was the key to turning leads into clients. But three months in, you're spending more time setting up automations than actually talking to prospects. The platform promised to simplify your lead management, but instead you're wrestling with complex workflows and trying to figure out why your carefully crafted sequences aren't sending. Contactually built its reputation on relationship management for real estate pros. It's got powerful features - maybe too powerful. While you're configuring tags, triggers, and custom fields, your leads are going cold. You wanted something that would handle follow-up automatically, but you're finding yourself manually managing more tasks than before. Here's what we've learned from agents who switched: they don't need a PhD in marketing automation. They need emails that go out consistently, sequences that actually work, and a system that doesn't require a training manual to operate.

The Challenge with Contactually Follow-Up

Complex setup kills your momentum

Contactually requires extensive configuration before you can send a single follow-up email. You'll spend hours creating buckets, setting up smart plans, and configuring triggers. Most agents want to start following up immediately, not spend their weekend learning a new system.

No proven email sequences included

The platform gives you the tools but not the content. You're starting with a blank slate, writing every email from scratch. Without proven templates, you're guessing what messages actually convert leads into appointments.

Emails keep sending after replies

Your lead responds with interest, but Contactually keeps sending your nurture sequence anyway. You have to manually pause campaigns or your enthusiastic prospect gets generic follow-ups instead of personal attention.

Follow-up that works out of the box

AgentSequence gives you what Contactually makes you build yourself: proven email sequences that convert. When you sign up, you get 12 complete campaigns written by top-producing agents. No setup required - just import your leads and the follow-up starts automatically. Each sequence knows when to pause itself. When a lead replies to any email, the automation stops so you can have a real conversation. No awkward situations where you're sending generic emails to someone who's already ready to tour homes. The system handles the boring stuff so you can focus on the conversations that matter. You can customize the emails if you want, but they work great as-is. We've tested these sequences with thousands of leads, so you're not starting from scratch or guessing what might work.
