EstateOS vs VaultRE / MRI
Combined sales + PM in one database — enterprise-grade

VaultRE / MRI pricing
~$200+ per user / month
EstateOS pricing
Per agency, published on /pricing
Decision guide
When each option fits
Choose VaultRE / MRI if…
- You are a 50+ agent group with dedicated IT and a multi-month implementation budget.
- Enterprise MRI reporting and department structures are already embedded.
- Per-user pricing above $200 is acceptable for your cost base.
- You do not need AI-native workflows in the next 12 months.
Choose EstateOS if…
- You are a boutique or regional agency priced out of VaultRE per-seat quotes.
- You want combined sales + PM without a six-month implementation project.
- AI listing copy, inspection drafts, and after-hours replies need human review built in — not bolted on later.
- Published tiers on /pricing beat opaque enterprise renewals.

AI comparison
Drafts your team approves — not auto-send
VaultRE / MRI
VaultRE does not ship AI-native listing, inspection, or maintenance workflows as a core product capability.
EstateOS
AI assists across sales and PM — listing variants, vendor updates, inspection reports, maintenance triage — with versioned prompts and staff approval before external delivery.
Human-in-the-loop
Every AI output to external parties requires explicit review. EstateOS logs reviewer, timestamp, and edits. See /responsible-ai for Privacy Act and OAIC-aligned controls.
