#3 avg. position

+22 ahead of Zendesk

Follow Up Boss owns the real estate customer support question, appearing in 83% of answers with a slot score 22 points clear of the nearest challenger.

Follow Up Boss surfaces in every model's responses and consistently lands near the top of lists, earning its position through one recurring reason: consolidating leads from hundreds of sources into a single inbox with fast-response workflows built specifically for real estate teams. Zendesk and Freshdesk both appear in roughly 67 to 75% of answers but drift to average positions of 5 and 6 respectively, meaning they show up as supporting options rather than primary recommendations. Perplexity drives the most Follow Up Boss mentions relative to its total answers, pushing it four times, while the real estate-specific framing of the question consistently pulls reviewers away from generic help desks and toward CRM-anchored tools like Follow Up Boss and Wise Agent.

How this was measured

ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini each answered this question in two phrasings, several times each, with live web access and citations: the closest API-reachable version of the real assistant experience (no personalization or account memory, which no vendor can provide). Model-memory answers (no web) are measured separately and shown above as a comparison surface. A brand counts once per answer that recommends it. The exact questions:

• "What's the best customer support software for a real estate team?"
• "We're a residential real estate brokerage with 30 agents. Which customer support software should we use?"
