Comparison

RE:Writeoff vs REPSLog

Both RE:Writeoff and REPSLog help real estate investors document hours for REPS qualification. REPSLog is a solid, feature-rich manual tracker with AI autofill and speech-to-text. RE:Writeoff takes a different approach: it reads your email to find activities you already did, so you spend less time logging and more time investing.

Where REPSLog wins

REPSLog has been around longer and offers some features we haven't shipped yet. Credit where it's due:

Speech-to-text logging. Dictate activities on the go. Useful for logging time during property visits when you can't type.
Calendar sync. Pull events directly from your calendar to auto-populate activities. We have this planned but it's not live yet.
More mature mobile app. REPSLog has dedicated desktop and mobile apps with cross-device sync.
CPA partnerships. Established relationships with cost segregation firms for referrals.

Where RE:Writeoff wins

Our core advantage is simple: we find your activities automatically. Every other tracker, including REPSLog, still requires you to sit down and manually log what you did.

Email scanning. RE:Writeoff reads your Gmail and identifies property management activities—maintenance requests, vendor coordination, tenant emails, inspection scheduling—without you lifting a finger. REPSLog doesn't offer this.
AI time estimates from content. We don't just log that an activity happened. We estimate how long it took based on the email content and coordination involved.
Evidence linking. Every activity is linked to the original email thread. In an audit, you have the actual correspondence—not just a log entry saying “coordinated repairs, 45 min.”
Lower price. $9/mo vs $12.49–16.66/mo, with a permanent free tier and a longer trial (30 days vs 14).
Three input methods. Auto-scan + email forwarding + manual entry. REPSLog offers manual entry with AI autofill suggestions.

The bottom line

REPSLog is a capable REPS tracker with good manual logging tools. If you want speech-to-text and calendar sync today, it's a reasonable choice. But if your biggest problem is remembering to log activities—or proving them later—RE:Writeoff solves that at the source. Your email already contains the evidence. We just surface it.
