What Happened to LionDesk?
LionDesk was one of the most popular real estate CRMs — but as of 2026, it’s officially gone. If you’re a former user (or were considering it), here’s exactly what happened — and what you should use instead.
Most agents switching from LionDesk choose:
Timeline: LionDesk to Lone Wolf
- 2021: Lone Wolf acquires LionDesk.
- 2024–2025: Development shifts toward Lone Wolf Relationships.
- 2025: LionDesk discontinuation announced.
- 2026: LionDesk is fully sunset.
Is LionDesk still available?
No. LionDesk is no longer available as a standalone CRM. It is not being developed, sold, or supported in the same way it once was.
If you're still using LionDesk, you'll eventually need to switch.

After acquiring LionDesk, Lone Wolf consolidated its software into a single ecosystem. Instead of maintaining multiple CRMs, the company focused development on a newer platform — Lone Wolf Relationships.
This is common in real estate software: companies acquire tools, then phase them out in favor of a unified system.
Should you switch to Lone Wolf Relationships?
It’s the official replacement — but not always the best choice.
Most agents leave the Lone Wolf ecosystem entirely.
Follow Up Boss is the most common upgrade because it's simpler, faster, and built around follow-up — not paperwork.

Leaving LionDesk?
The biggest mistake agents make is waiting too long to switch. The faster you move to a modern CRM, the faster your follow-up improves.
