If you are comparing Spacio alternatives, you are probably weighing a few things at once: how sign-in behaves when the Wi-Fi is weak, who ends up owning the visitor data, what the app costs, and how painless it is to get your leads back out. This page compares four open house sign-in apps against Spacio on exactly those points, and it is honest about where each one fits, including ours.
Where Spacio stands today
Spacio Open House is the sign-in product from HomeSpotter, which is now part of Lone Wolf Technologies. It is still available in the App Store, and its listing was last updated in May 2026. It is a cloud-based tool built with brokerages and enterprise accounts in mind, not just the solo agent at the door. That design is the useful lens for this comparison: the differences below are about architecture and business model, not about whether a product is available.
Bring your Spacio leads with you
Whatever you switch to, your sign-in history is worth more than any app. Those sheets are years of buyer conversations, neighbor contacts, and sphere-of-influence names. Before you commit to a new tool, export your contacts and event history from Spacio and save a copy somewhere you control. Then you can import that CSV into your new app, CRM, or address book on day one. Keeping your own copy is just good practice, and it is the same discipline we build into OpenHouse: your data should never be hard to leave with.
Spacio alternatives compared
Full disclosure before the table: OpenHouse is our app. We build it, we charge for it, and we think it is the right Spacio alternative for a certain kind of agent. We have tried to be straight about where each app fits, including ours. If you want our wider field guide beyond these four, we keep every app we'd actually recommend on one page, and there is a direct OpenHouse vs Spacio head-to-head if that is the matchup you care about.
| App | Price | Best for | How it compares to Spacio |
|---|---|---|---|
| OpenHouse (ours) | $9.99/mo or $79.99/yr, 1-month free trial | Solo iPad agents who want offline sign-in and clean export | Fully offline capture with no backend, leads stay on your device, export to Follow Up Boss, HubSpot, BoldTrail, Lofty, Sierra, CSV, and vCard; no broker dashboards, iOS only (no Android) |
| Curb Hero | Free | Agents who want $0 and don't mind lender co-marketing | A free, popular sign-in app with a 4.9-star reputation; lead data is shared with paired lenders when visitors opt into mortgage questions |
| Open Home Pro | Free tier with paid upgrade | Agents already in its ecosystem with a dedicated tablet | A long-established tablet sign-in flow; sign-in is tablet-only and offline capture uses a sync-later model |
| Showable | Varies | Agents who want to survey the newer entrants | A current-generation sign-in tool that publishes its own comparisons; shorter track record than the apps above |
OpenHouse: offline-first, on your device
OpenHouse is built around a simple idea: the sign-in table should work with no Wi-Fi, and the leads should be yours. It is offline-first by architecture. The iPad kiosk, visitor qualification, and lead capture never make a network call, because there is no backend to call. Leads are written to local storage on your device and leave only when you deliberately export them, whether that is CSV, vCard, email, or a share into the CRM you already run: Follow Up Boss, HubSpot, BoldTrail, Lofty, or Sierra. No account is required to start, there are no lender ads, and your visitor data is never resold because we never have it. If your subscription ever lapses, the app drops into a read-only mode where everything you captured stays viewable and exportable. We will not pretend it does everything Spacio does. There are no brokerage dashboards and no marketing suite. It is a focused tool for the agent standing in the foyer. If that is you, try OpenHouse and judge the first month for free.
Curb Hero: the free Spacio alternative
Fairness requires saying this plainly: Curb Hero is free, genuinely popular, and sits at 4.9 stars. For a lot of agents it will be the path of least resistance, and it is a legitimate one. The trade-off is the business model. Curb Hero is monetized through lender co-marketing, and its own help center explains that a default lender may be assigned to your listings and that lead information is shared with lenders when visitors opt into mortgage questions. If you are comfortable with that exchange, it is a strong free option. If you would rather your lead data never be shared with a third party, weigh that model carefully.
Open Home Pro: the long-standing tablet option
Open Home Pro has been around the open house category for years, and many agents shopping for a Spacio alternative will know the workflow on sight. Two things to know before you commit. The sign-in experience is tablet-only, so you will need a dedicated iPad or Android tablet at the door. And its offline handling is a sync-later model: sign-ins collected without a connection upload when you are back online, rather than living natively on the device. For listings with reliable Wi-Fi that distinction will not bite you. In a dead-zone farmhouse, know what you are signing up for.
Showable: the newer entrant
Showable is one of the newer names in sign-in apps, and to its credit it publishes its own comparison of open house sign-in apps. That is useful reading even if you discount the home-team bias, a caveat that applies to this page too. The fair note for anyone comparing options is track record. "How long has this vendor been around, and how do I get my data out?" are reasonable questions to put to any newer Spacio alternative, Showable included.
The part these solo apps will not replace
Spacio is unusual in this category: it is built with brokerages and enterprise accounts in mind, not just the solo agent at the door. If your team leans on broker-level dashboards, office-wide reporting, or admin-managed agent accounts, set your expectations now. The solo-focused alternatives above do not replicate that layer. OpenHouse gives you a per-listing seller report, not an office rollup. Curb Hero and Open Home Pro center the individual agent's pipeline. If brokerage-wide visibility is the reason your office standardized on Spacio, that need sits with whatever transaction or back-office platform your brokerage runs, not with a solo sign-in app. For the individual agent, though, the daily job of capturing visitors, qualifying them, and following up is fully covered.
Pick an export-first Spacio replacement
Step back from the app shopping for one paragraph. Every cloud-based tool carries platform risk. Your data lives on someone else's servers, behind someone else's login, subject to someone else's plans. Most of the time that is fine. The day it is not, whether through an acquisition, a price change, or a product you can no longer justify paying for, you find out how hard the vendor made it to leave. So whatever Spacio alternative you choose, apply one test before anything else: how do I get my leads out, today, without asking permission? If the answer involves a support ticket, keep shopping. This is why we built OpenHouse as an app where export is the default. CSV, vCard, and CRM handoff to Follow Up Boss, HubSpot, BoldTrail, Lofty, and Sierra are front-door features, not buried settings, and the data sits on your iPad in the first place. Grade every candidate on that axis, including ours.
A switch you can finish this week
You do not need a committee for this. Here is the whole move:
- Export from Spacio. Pull your contacts and event history from your Spacio account and save the CSV in two places.
- Pick your lane. Free with lender co-marketing (Curb Hero), established tablet flow (Open Home Pro), newer entrant (Showable), or paid, offline-first, export-first (OpenHouse). The table above is the decision in one screen; for deeper head-to-heads, browse all comparisons.
- Import your contacts into your CRM or address book from the exported CSV. Do not let the file sit as a forgotten download.
- Dry-run your new app before a live event. Put your iPad in airplane mode and run five fake sign-ins. If the app cannot handle that, you have learned something important for free.
- Run your next open house on the new tool, then export that event's leads the same day. The export habit is the whole point.
You can finish steps one through four in an afternoon.
Frequently asked questions
Is Spacio still available?
Yes. Spacio Open House from HomeSpotter (a Lone Wolf company) is still in the Apple App Store, and its listing was last updated in May 2026. Shopping for a Spacio alternative is usually about fit rather than availability: how sign-in behaves offline, who owns the lead data, and how easily you can export it.
Can I move my Spacio leads to another app?
Yes. Export your contacts and event history from your Spacio account, save the CSV somewhere you control, then import it into your new app, CRM, or address book. Keeping your own copy of your lead history is good practice whichever sign-in app you use.
What is the closest Spacio replacement?
It depends on what you used Spacio for. Solo agents who mainly need iPad sign-in and clean lead export will find OpenHouse or Curb Hero closest; teams that leaned on Spacio's brokerage-level dashboards will not find a true one-to-one match among the solo-focused apps.
Is there a free Spacio alternative?
Curb Hero is free and well reviewed, funded by lender co-marketing rather than subscriptions. OpenHouse is a paid app at 9.99 per month or 79.99 per year with a one-month free trial that keeps leads on your device and makes export the default.
