The Short Version
Quo, which changed its name from OpenPhone, is the phone app a lot of small real estate teams already love. It is clean, it works on every device, and shared numbers let two or three agents work one line together. Its Sona AI agent can answer calls when nobody is free.
RealtyCoworker covers the same ground for calls and texts, then keeps going: a CRM, a pipeline, email, social messages and automations that follow up for you. This is the closest matchup in our best business phone systems for real estate agents roundup, so the details matter.
What Quo Offers
As of October 2026, Quo has three plans: Starter at $15 per user per month billed annually ($19 monthly), Business at $23 ($33 monthly) and Scale at $35 ($47 monthly). Each user gets one local or toll-free number, and extra numbers are $5 per month. Business adds call forwarding, phone menus, AI call summaries and transcripts, and HubSpot and Salesforce integrations. Scale adds AI call tags, dedicated onboarding and priority support.
Quo also handles the everyday texting details well: shared snippets, auto-replies for missed calls and voicemails, and Zapier and Make connections on every plan. Sona answers calls around the clock from your knowledge base, takes messages and transfers to a person. Every plan includes about 10 Sona calls per month, with paid tiers from $25 per month for more.
Two Agents, One Line: How Each Handles It
Picture a husband and wife team in Point Pleasant sharing one business number. In Quo, both see the same texts and calls on the shared number and can reply from either phone. That shared inbox experience is excellent.
In RealtyCoworker, the Conversations inbox does the same with assignment and internal comments, but each thread also includes the client’s emails, Facebook and Instagram messages and website chats. When the buyer who texted on Tuesday emails a pre-approval letter on Thursday, it is in one thread on one contact record, already sitting in the right pipeline stage.
AI Phone Agents Compared
Sona and RealtyCoworker’s Voice AI do similar jobs on the call: greet the caller, answer from approved material, take details and transfer when needed. Sona also speaks Spanish and French, which is a real advantage in some markets.
The difference is what the AI can do next. RealtyCoworker’s Voice AI can book the buyer consult straight onto your calendar, and the conversation can trigger a buyer inquiry workflow that keeps texting and emailing until the lead responds. For texts and DMs, Conversation AI can qualify and book too. Usage-wise, Lift Off includes 100 AI voice minutes a month; on Essentials Voice AI is $0.26 per call minute.
Pricing for a Small Team
For a three-agent team on Quo Business billed annually, the subscription is three seats at $23, plus any extra numbers and Sona tier, plus the CRM you connect it to. Calling and texting within the US and Canada are included in Quo’s plans.
RealtyCoworker is $99 per month on Essentials or $249 on Lift Off with unlimited users, so adding a fourth or tenth agent does not change the plan price. Calls and texts are billed at usage rates (on Lift Off, $0.021 per outbound minute and $0.01245 per text segment), and numbers and A2P registration may cost extra. See pricing for full rates.
Setup and Support
Quo is famously easy to start with, and the 7-day trial is enough to know if you like it. Integrations with other CRMs require the Business plan or higher and an admin to connect them.
RealtyCoworker is built and supported by T.O.M Digital Marketing in New Jersey, and Lift Off includes 1:1 onboarding and done-for-you setup of your phone number, pipeline, calendar and follow-up. For a flat-price alternative to Quo, read RealtyCoworker vs Grasshopper.
