What it’s for

A CRM platform vs a brand website

The bottom line

Sierra Interactive is a CRM first, with a website attached. Hungry Ram builds the website first, with a simple CRM included.

Sierra Interactive is built around its CRM: lead routing, action plans, a dialer and listing search. The website is one part of that system, built from templates and configured rather than designed.

If your team lives on a dialer and action plans, Sierra does more there. If you need a website that sells your brand, a custom Hungry Ram site does that, with HungryHub’s CRM for the leads it brings in, or a connection to the CRM you already use.
