BrokerDIY vs Nekst
Nekst is a focused transaction task engine with a genuinely useful free tier. BrokerDIY is the brokerage platform the transaction sits inside. If the checklist is all you need, Nekst is the cheaper and sharper tool.
Nekst publishes its rates: a free Solo Lite tier, Solo Pro at $790/yr with a $299 onboarding fee and Team Pro at $1,990/yr with a $399 onboarding fee (their pricing page, checked 2026-08-18). We publish ours, with no onboarding fee. Compare totals rather than headlines — and here is where each one genuinely fits.

Where BrokerDIY wins — and where it doesn’t
| Question | The honest answer |
|---|---|
| Where Nekst still wins | Transaction task discipline, and a free tier we do not match. Nekst preloads market-specific workflows, adjusts tasks automatically from contract terms, syncs deadlines to your calendar and gives clients a portal — and you can run five transactions on it for nothing. |
| Where BrokerDIY wins | Scope. Nekst runs the post-contract checklist; BrokerDIY runs the brokerage — CRM and lead follow-up before the contract, AI voice agents and sequences during, e-sign and transactions after — on one flat rate with no onboarding fee. |
| The real cost comparison | Compare totals, not headlines. Nekst Team Pro is $1,990/yr plus a $399 onboarding fee plus $19–$49/mo for every seat past the two included. Our ten-seat plan is $349/mo flat, $0 setup, month-to-month. |
| Watch out for | Onboarding fees and the annual model. Nekst’s Pro plans are billed yearly with a $299 or $399 setup charge, and setup beyond the included three hours is $65/hour. |
| Where it doesn’t fit | If you are a solo transaction coordinator whose volume fits the free tier, Nekst is hard to beat on price. We are built for the brokerage, not the checklist. |
Questions buyers ask.
Is BrokerDIY a Nekst alternative?
If you want the transaction checklist and nothing else, Nekst is the more focused tool and has a free tier we do not match. If the checklist is one part of running a brokerage — leads, follow-up, signing, compliance — that whole job is what BrokerDIY is for.
How much does Nekst cost?
Nekst publishes a free Solo Lite tier (single user, up to five transactions), Solo Pro at $790/yr with a $299 onboarding fee, and Team Pro at $1,990/yr with a $399 onboarding fee including two seats. Additional seats are $49/mo per Administrator or $19/mo per Team Member. Figures from their pricing page, checked 2026-08-18.
Does Nekst have a free plan?
Yes — Solo Lite is free for a single user and up to five total transactions, with preloaded workflows and the client portal included. It is a real free tier rather than a trial, and it is a fair reason to try Nekst first if transactions are all you need.
What does BrokerDIY cost?
A 14-day free trial, then $29/mo, with the ten-seat team plan at $349/mo flat, $0 setup and month-to-month terms — and no onboarding fee. The full rate card is on our pricing page.
