Three questions reveal the difference.
The products share many core capabilities. The distinction becomes clearer when you look beyond basic bookkeeping.
Does it connect the deal to the money?
Lulu Ledger
Yes. Lulu Ledger begins with the real estate deal, including its pipeline stage, contract price, commission structure, splits, and fees. Income and related expenses can then be connected to the deal that produced them.
Realtyzam
Yes. Realtyzam tracks sales activity, commissions, brokerage splits, broker fees, expenses, and profitability by sale. It can remember an agent’s commission percentages and use them when calculating the brokerage split.
Does it help agents understand and plan their business?
Lulu Ledger
Lulu Ledger combines deal and bookkeeping records with estimated tax planning, production-goal tracking, year-over-year performance, and insights across deals, income, expenses, and profitability.
Realtyzam
Realtyzam provides useful historical sales and activity statistics, including average commissions, buyer and seller conversion rates, broker fees, lead-source performance, and profit and expenses by sale. Estimated tax planning and production-goal coaching are not documented features.
How much setup and upkeep does it require?
Lulu Ledger
Lulu Ledger is designed for a straightforward start. Agents can connect accounts, add or import deals, and begin reviewing transactions without journal entries or spreadsheet formulas.
Realtyzam
Realtyzam is also designed for simplicity. It imports bank and credit-card transactions, applies user-created categorization rules, stores receipts, and generates tax reports without requiring full double-entry accounting.

A ✕ in Lulu Ledger’s column is deliberate: it marks things Lulu Ledger intentionally doesn’t do. No tool should win every row of its own comparison.
Enter the deal once. Understand the entire business.
Lulu Ledger’s deal section is more than a transaction list. It keeps the client, contact information, notes, property details, status, dates, commission terms, income, and related costs connected in one workspace.
As the deal progresses, that information updates commission calculations, pipeline reporting, production, estimated taxes, goals, and performance insights. Instead of rebuilding the same story across separate tools, agents can see what is closing, what they may earn, what they may keep, and how the business is performing.

Lulu Ledger vs. Realtyzam: FAQ
Can I switch to Lulu Ledger from Realtyzam?
Yes. Lulu Ledger supports CSV imports for closed deals, income, and expenses. Export or request the Realtyzam records you want to keep, format them using Lulu Ledger’s import templates, and review the imported information before relying on reports. Because the products organize some information differently, sales-activity, contact, reminder, or document data may not map directly to Lulu Ledger.
Does Lulu Ledger replace Realtyzam?
Lulu Ledger can replace Realtyzam for agents whose primary needs are deal tracking, commission calculations, income, expenses, receipts, mileage, reports, and business planning. Agents who rely heavily on Realtyzam’s client records, follow-up reminders, document storage, or native mobile apps should compare those workflow differences before switching.

Lulu Ledger offers Founder pricing of $14.99 per month or $149 per year. Realtyzam lists pricing of $14 per month or $11.58 per month when billed annually, making Realtyzam the lower-cost option. Pricing may change, so confirm current information before subscribing.
