Comparison
Verna vs Bitrix24
Bitrix24 is a general-purpose CRM and collaboration suite that can be configured into almost anything, given enough time. Verna is real estate software out of the box: units, payment plans, commissions, and portals are native objects, not custom fields.
Bitrix24 is genuinely impressive as a generalist: CRM, tasks, chat, sites, and telephony under one roof, with a free tier that makes it the default experiment for cost-conscious teams. Plenty of real estate companies start there.
The trouble surfaces at the real estate specifics. A generic CRM has no concept of a unit that can be double-booked, a payment plan with milestone billing, a commission split across a broker network, or an SLA on a maintenance job. Teams rebuild these with custom fields, automation rules, and consultants, and end up maintaining a bespoke system on someone else's platform. Verna ships those objects working on day one.
Choose Verna if
- You want unit inventory with real availability states, not deals with a "unit" text field
- You bill by payment plan and milestone, and need collections tracked against schedules
- Commissions, splits, and broker payouts are a real part of your cost structure
- You need leasing, maintenance, or finance operations in the same system as sales
- You want working software this month, not a configuration project this quarter
Choose Bitrix24 if
- You need one generalist tool for CRM plus intranet, tasks, and internal chat across a non-real-estate business
- Budget is the binding constraint and the free tier covers your needs
- You have in-house admin capacity and genuinely enjoy building your own system
