| Features | AeroIDX Get started | IDX Broker | iHomefinder |
|---|---|---|---|
| Agent Websites | Available: Custom domain per agent Custom domain per agent Each roster agent gets a branded IDX microsite (own domain, bio, and headshot) managed centrally by the brokerage. MLS data wires up automatically, so there is no separate IDX setup per agent. | Partial: Agent pages, no custom domains Agent pages, no custom domains Agent profile pages available; per-agent custom domains and centrally managed microsites are not a native feature. | Partial: Agent profiles only Agent profiles only Agent profile pages included; standalone per-agent microsites with custom domains require external setup. |
| Lead routing at CRM | Available: Native GHL per-agent routing Native GHL per-agent routing Map each roster agent to their own GoHighLevel user or dedicated subaccount via OAuth. Leads route to the right agent's CRM context automatically, with no manual tagging and no Zapier. | Not available | Not available |
| Agent Sub-Accounts & Impersonation | Available: One-click login as any agent One-click login as any agent Each roster entry can spawn a real agent login with an emailed password-setup link, and admins securely impersonate any agent, even across agency-to-broker-to-agent levels, then exit back to their own session cleanly. | Not available | Not available |
| Embeddable Lead Dashboard | Available: Signed embed, no separate login Signed embed, no separate login Generate a signed URL that renders the full lead-activity dashboard inside any iframe (a GoHighLevel page, client portal, or custom app) with no separate login.

| MCP Server | Available: Native MCP tool registry Native MCP tool registry Expose lead data, properties, and GoHighLevel CRM directly to Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Windsurf via a native MCP server, so you get AI workflows without building integrations. | Not available | Not available |
| AI Coach | Available: Live-data AI assistant Live-data AI assistant Conversational AI built into the agent dashboard. It surfaces hot leads, drafts outreach, summarizes pipeline activity, and reads GoHighLevel CRM data in real time. Not a generic chatbot. | Not available | Not available |
| AI Lead Alert Suggestions | Available: Behavior-driven alert builder Behavior-driven alert builder Reads each lead's last 50 tracked events and proposes a saved-search alert tuned to their behavior, with a confidence score. Agent accepts with one click; the suggestion stays quiet when the signal is weak. | Not available | Not available |
| Natural Language Search | Available: Conversational MLS search Conversational MLS search Buyers describe what they want in plain English and get live matching listings instantly, with no filter forms and no MLS jargon. Powered by Claude or OpenAI BYOK; embeds on any site. | Partial: Limited NLP search Limited NLP search Basic natural language search available on select plans; not backed by a modern LLM and lacks conversational refinement or BYOK support. | Partial: Standard filters only Standard filters only Traditional keyword and filter-based search; no natural language or conversational query support. |

| Bring-Your-Own AI Key | Available: Your key, your cost control Your key, your cost control Agents paste their own Anthropic Claude or OpenAI key once and it powers every AI feature: Coach, task generation, search, and drafting.

| AI Spend Caps & Safeguards | Available: Metered AI, capped monthly spend Metered AI, capped monthly spend Every platform-key AI search logs its exact token cost to a per-account ledger and hard-stops once the monthly cap is hit (bring-your-own-key requests bypass it).

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
I can't find my MLS in your list. What happens?
We onboard new boards on request. Flexible access modes mean your MLS contract terms are enforced at the API layer once integration completes. If you're switching from IDX Broker or iHomefinder, send us your board name and we'll confirm timing.
How does AeroIDX integrate with my website?
AeroIDX renders search, maps, and listing pages directly on your root domain at the paths you choose. There is no required subdomain, no iframe wrapper, and no vendor URL in the address bar. SEO equity stays on your domain.
Can I resell aeroidx to my agents under my own brand?
Yes. The agency dashboard supports per-client branding, per-client pricing, and multi-tenant data isolation. Impersonate any client account from one dashboard with the action logged for compliance.
What does the API actually let me do?
REST v1 with full read/write on listings, leads, and saved searches, with a separate API key for each integration. An MCP server lets you connect Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Windsurf to your lead data directly.
Do the AI features need my own OpenAI key?
AI features run on aeroidx infrastructure and are included in plan pricing. If you want to bring your own key for tighter cost control, that's supported on team and agency plans.
