Locium vs Aryeo, Tonomo & Spiro

An honest, side-by-side look at the four leading real estate media operating systems. We built Locium because we run a media agency ourselves — so we kept adding the features the others were missing. Here's how they all stack up.

Locium
87 / 91
Aryeo

Six things you literally cannot get anywhere else

✏️

Client photo revision tool

Clients literally draw on the image to mark what they want fixed — circle the bin, scribble out the powerlines. The provider gets the marked-up image back. Nobody else has this.

🤖

Custom AI agent builder + cost tracking

Build your own AI agents (listing writer, research bot, custom workflows) and see the cost-vs-revenue per agent. Not a single feature — a whole AI platform inside your media business.

🏢

Brokerage billing with credit-limit lock

One bill for the whole brokerage, head-office sees every order, and a hard credit cap stops a runaway agent racking up debt. Locks orders the moment the cap hits.

📅

Two-way Outlook + Google calendar sync

Every other platform is Google-only. Locium syncs both — vital for the half of the industry that lives in Microsoft 365.

🎬

Per-service-type production pipelines

Photos, video, floor plans and 3D each get their own pipeline with their own statuses. Not a single one-size-fits-all kanban — real production boards.

💸

Monthly retainer + wallet billing

Pre-paid wallet + automatic Stripe top-up + bounce-email recovery. Built for agencies that bill clients on retainer instead of per-order.

Built by an agency, for agencies

We're Patorama Studios — a real estate media production company in Australia. We were using the others. None of them did everything we needed, so we built Locium on top of our own ops.

Every feature on this page is one we needed first. That's why the list is longer.
