07 — FAQ
Common questions before you migrate.
- 01
Why switch from Lofty to dakimmo?
Lofty is a US-only team platform with annual contracts and a $499/mo entry price. If you're a solo agent or a small team, you're paying for capacity you don't use. dakimmo gives you the working pieces — CRM, WhatsApp inbox, website, automations — at one-fifth the cost, with no annual lock-in.
- 02
Is dakimmo cheaper than Lofty?
Substantially. Lofty team-tier pricing typically lands around $499/mo with annual commitments. dakimmo Solo is $29/mo. dakimmo Agency is $89/mo for three agents. Even a ten-agent shop on dakimmo costs less than the Lofty entry price.
- 03
Can I keep my data when I migrate from Lofty?
Yes, but you'll need to request the export through your Lofty account manager — there's no fully self-serve full export. Get contacts, deals, communication history, and lead-source attribution. dakimmo will help map all of it during the included migration.
- 04
Does dakimmo do Lofty's AI assistant for lead nurture?
dakimmo has AI for lead scoring, follow-up suggestions, and listing description generation. Lofty's AI assistant is a polished US-narrow product — if your team specifically depends on it as the primary outreach voice, validate the dakimmo equivalent in trial first.
- 05
How long does the migration take?
Data migration is a few days once Lofty sends the export. The bigger constraint is the Lofty annual contract — start at least 60 days before renewal to avoid auto-renewing for another year.
- 06
Will my IDX site break?
Lofty's IDX site is replaced by the dakimmo Agency website for most markets. For US-only teams who depend on a deep MLS-fed IDX, you can keep the Lofty IDX live and let dakimmo run the CRM layer, with a Zapier or webhook bridge.
