Overview

AFrame is a real estate transaction-management and CRM platform for agents, coordinators, and brokers who need a shared view of contacts, listings, contracts, and transactions. It is best suited to growing teams that want configurable workflows and client portals in one system; teams that need built-in e-signatures or compliance checklists should look elsewhere.

Key features

Custom templates, task and action plans, document templates, merge-field emails, and custom data fields let teams adapt transaction workflows to their processes. Deadline automation and an audit trail support follow-through and recordkeeping, but the absence of e-signatures and compliance checklists leaves two important parts of many transaction processes to other tools.

The CRM combines contact categories, relationship ratings, ownership, milestone reminders, advanced search, and targeted mass email. That gives teams more ways to organize and follow up than a transaction list alone, particularly when they manage a growing contact base.

Real-time pipeline visibility, individual and team performance breakdowns, and built-in reports give managers a view of work and output. Client-facing analytics are also available for independent transaction coordinators. Branded portals for agents, buyers, and sellers can share marketing activity, showings, feedback, and tasks, with controls to hide selected details.

Integrations include email and calendar platforms, ShowingTime, Supra, Zapier, Mailchimp, SendGrid, and an open API. Through Zapier, Cognito Forms and Jotform intake submissions can create new transactions. Team permissions for record ownership and visibility help control access across contacts and transactions. AFrame says its Google Cloud infrastructure uses encryption in transit, access controls, and redundant backups; users can request deletion of their data through support.

Import templates, onboarding resources, a user guide, video library, expert Q&A sessions, and email support give teams several routes to get started and resolve questions.

Pricing

AFrame offers a free 30-day trial with full access to workflows, users, portals, analytics, and integrations. The free Managed Agents plan is free and allows as many managed agents as needed, with a branded client portal, email and text milestone reminders, reporting and performance tracking, and daily or weekly transaction summary emails. It is useful for coordinators serving agents, but it is not the same as free full-access team seats.

Standard Users pricing is month-to-month and billed per user per month, with no setup fees. The rate falls as team size grows:

1–5 users: 54.00 USD per month ($54 per user/month).
6–10 users: 34.00 USD per month ($34 per user/month).
11–15 users: 24.00 USD per month ($24 per user/month).
16+ users: 14.00 USD per month ($14 per user/month).

Each Standard Users tier includes full-access team members, unlimited contacts and transactions, and unlimited storage. The declining per-user price favors larger teams; smaller teams face a higher seat rate, while the free plan is aimed at managed agents rather than a full team.

Platforms

AFrame supports Android, iOS, web, and API access, making it a fit for teams that need both mobile and browser access or want to connect other systems.

Who it's for

Transaction coordinators can use the managed-agent plan and client-facing analytics to serve multiple agents, while agents and brokers managing a growing team can use standard seats for shared workflows, reporting, and permissions. It is less suitable for teams that require e-signatures or built-in compliance checklists as part of their core system.

Pros and cons

Pros: Configurable transaction workflows, automated deadlines, and document templates can standardize recurring work.
Pros: Branded portals and granular visibility controls let teams share transaction updates without exposing every detail.
Pros: Unlimited contacts, transactions, and storage on paid Standard Users tiers avoid those specific capacity ceilings.
Cons: Standard access is priced per user, with the highest listed rate for teams of 1–5.
Cons: E-signatures and compliance checklists are absent, so teams needing either must add another tool or process.

Alternatives

Real Estate Transaction Management Software is a broader category to explore if AFrame's mix of CRM, portals, and workflow controls is not the right fit.

dotloop is worth considering for an individual agent who wants a free allowance of up to 10 transactions or a $34.99 monthly Premium plan with unlimited transactions; AFrame instead emphasizes team workflows and per-user pricing.

BrokerageBox offers a free virtual platform with transaction and commission management, a custom dashboard, cash-flow management, billing, and payments, so it may suit readers prioritizing those brokerage functions.

Brokermint is an alternative for brokerages seeking accounting, agent billing, agent onboarding, multiple office locations, and next-day ACH payments; its Professional plan has custom pricing.

Jointly may suit a single agent who wants a free allowance of seven deals before paying $9 per month, or a high-performing agent considering its $49 per month Pro plan.

Paperless Pipeline is an option for teams that want unlimited users and storage, with a plan capped at five new transactions per month for 69.00 USD per month.

Backhouse is an alternative with seat-based pricing at 79.00 USD per month and 500 AI tasks per seat per month, with additional tasks priced at $0.12 each.

DocuSign eSignature is an alternative to consider when sending, signing, and managing agreements is the priority.

RealSmart Broker is another paid, web-based alternative.

Verdict

AFrame is a strong match for transaction coordinators and growing real estate teams that want configurable workflows, CRM, reporting, and branded client portals together. Its free managed-agent plan and lower per-user rates for larger teams are useful advantages, but smaller teams pay more per seat and the lack of e-signatures and compliance checklists makes it a poor choice for anyone who needs those functions built in.
