REHL vs Lofty
Lofty's Sales AI auto-replies to inbound leads with templated questions. REHL Cultivate writes a bespoke multi-touch strategy per lead — including what NOT to send, when. Different intelligence posture: response-bot vs. orchestration brain.

Capability comparison
Side-by-side.
| Capability | REHL | Lofty |
|---|---|---|
AI-generated per-lead warming strategyCultivate Not a drip campaign. REHL AI reads each lead's profile + signals and writes a bespoke multi-touch plan with reasoning you can see. | partial | |
Lead temperature score with shown reasoningHeat + Compass Most platforms show a score. REHL shows you which signals moved it, when, and by how much — every change is auditable. | partial | |
Built-in consumer search portal First-party lead acquisition. Every consumer visit feeds the same warming engine — you own the funnel, not a third party. | ||
Compliance enforced in code (TCPA, A2P, state-specific)Guardrails Not a checkbox in settings. Quiet-hour windows, opt-out keywords, A2P 10DLC gating, and FL/WA/OK rules are enforced at the send-path level so a misconfigured workflow can't ship a non-compliant message. | partial | |
Per-lead tiered pricing (pay for warm leads only) Stop paying a flat seat license for cold leads you never wanted. Set your tier; pay only when a lead crosses it. | — | |
Multi-vendor data enrichment, nativeVault Identity resolution, contact verification, life-event signals, and financial qualification roll into the same lead record — no separate integration projects. | partial | |
Past-client re-engagement scoringContinuum Your historical book is a gold mine most CRMs treat as cold storage. REHL ranks past clients by re-engagement likelihood and surfaces who to call this week. | partial | |
Same lead can be re-sold as it warms Buy a lead cold for $10. They warm up; another agent buys them at hot for $200. The cold buyer's not locked out — but the hot buyer gets the freshest version with full enrichment context. | — |

Switching FAQ
Common questions from Lofty switchers.
- How does REHL Cultivate compare to Lofty's Sales AI?
- Lofty's Sales AI is a chatbot that responds to inbound messages. REHL Cultivate plans the entire warming arc — what channel, what intent, what timing, with conditional triggers as the lead reacts. Different scope: Lofty automates the reply; REHL automates the strategy.
- Do I lose my Lofty IDX site?
- REHL ships its own consumer search portal at rehl.us. Brokerages typically run both for 90 days; once the conversion math is clear, the legacy IDX gets sunset.
- Will my dialer integration still work?
- REHL doesn't ship a dialer in v1. If your team depends on Lofty's dialer, keep it. REHL focuses on the parts of the funnel that compound — acquisition, warming, scoring — and integrates rather than reinvents call workflows.
