Spacio alternatives stopped being a someday question on January 12, 2026, the day Spacio's iOS app was removed from the App Store. If you ran your sign-in table on Spacio, you now have two problems, and they are not the same problem. The first is urgent: years of open house lead history sitting in an account attached to a discontinued product. The second is important: choosing a Spacio replacement you can trust at your next event, ideally one that can never strand you like this again. This page handles both, in that order.
What actually happened to Spacio
Here is what we can verify, without speculation. Spacio was the open house sign-in product from HomeSpotter, which became part of Lone Wolf Technologies. On January 12, 2026, the app was removed from the App Store, and its former listing no longer offers the app for download. We are not going to invent a dramatic backstory about why. We do not know the internal reasons, and neither does anyone else writing roundups right now. What matters for working agents is the practical effect: you cannot install Spacio on a new iPad, you cannot count on updates, and an installed copy is living on borrowed time with every iPadOS release.
If you searched "Spacio app not working" before landing here, that is the explanation. It is not your iPad and it is not a temporary outage. The product is gone from the store, and the search for a Spacio replacement is now real.
Before you compare anything: rescue your data
Every hour you spend evaluating a Spacio alternative before securing your lead history is an hour spent in the wrong order. Those sign-in sheets are years of buyer conversations, neighbor contacts, and sphere-of-influence names. They are worth more than any app.
If your Spacio web login still works, or the app is still installed and opens, export everything now. Contacts, event history, notes, all of it, onto storage you control. We wrote a separate step-by-step walkthrough on how to rescue your Spacio lead data, covering every export path that still functions and what to do if your login already fails. Do that first. This page will still be here when your leads are safe.
Done? Good. Now let's find you a replacement.
Spacio alternatives compared
Full disclosure before the table: OpenHouse is our app. We build it, we charge for it, and we obviously think it is the right Spacio replacement for a certain kind of agent. We have tried to be straight about where each app fits, including ours. If you want our wider field guide beyond these four, we keep every app we'd actually recommend on one page.
| App | Price | Best for | What Spacio users gain | What Spacio users lose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OpenHouse (ours) | $9.99/mo or $79.99/yr, 1-month free trial | Solo iPad agents who want offline sign-in and clean export | Offline-first kiosk, no account required, leads stay on your device, CSV/Contacts/CRM handoff, seller report | No broker dashboards, no marketing automation, iOS/iPadOS only |
| Curb Hero | Free | Agents who want $0 and don't mind lender co-marketing | A free, popular sign-in app with a 4.9-star reputation | Lead data is shared with paired lenders when visitors opt into mortgage questions |
| Open Home Pro | Free tier with paid upgrade | Agents already in its ecosystem with a dedicated tablet | A long-established tablet sign-in flow | Sign-in is tablet-only, and offline capture uses a sync-later model |
| Showable | Varies | Agents who want to survey the newer entrants | A current-generation sign-in tool that publishes its own comparisons | Shorter track record than the apps above |
OpenHouse: for agents who never want to be stranded again
OpenHouse exists for exactly the failure mode Spacio users just lived through. It is offline-first by architecture. The iPad kiosk, visitor qualification, and lead capture never make a network call, because there is no backend to call. Leads are written to local storage on your device and leave only when you deliberately export them, whether that is CSV, Contacts, vCard, email, or a share into the CRM you already use. No account is required to start, there are no lender ads, and your visitor data is never resold because we never have it. If your subscription ever lapses, the app drops into a read-only mode where everything you captured stays viewable and exportable. We will not pretend it does everything Spacio did. There are no brokerage dashboards and no marketing suite. It is a focused tool for the agent standing in the foyer. If that is you, try OpenHouse as your Spacio replacement and judge the first month for free.
Curb Hero: the free Spacio alternative
Fairness requires saying this plainly: Curb Hero is free, genuinely popular, and sits at 4.9 stars. For a lot of stranded Spacio users it will be the path of least resistance, and it is a legitimate one. The trade-off is the business model. Curb Hero is monetized through lender co-marketing, and its own help center explains that a default lender may be assigned to your listings and that lead information is shared with lenders when visitors opt into mortgage questions. If you are comfortable with that exchange, it is a strong free option. If the Spacio shutdown made you protective of where your lead data lives, weigh that model carefully.
Open Home Pro: the long-standing tablet option
Open Home Pro has been around the open house category for years, and many agents shopping for a Spacio alternative will know the workflow on sight. Two things to know before you commit. The sign-in experience is tablet-only, so you will need a dedicated iPad or Android tablet at the door. And its offline handling is a sync-later model: sign-ins collected without a connection upload when you are back online, rather than living natively on the device. For listings with reliable Wi-Fi that distinction will not bite you. In a dead-zone farmhouse, know what you are signing up for.
Showable: the newer entrant
Showable is one of the newer names in sign-in apps, and to its credit it publishes its own comparison of open house sign-in apps. That is useful reading even if you discount the home-team bias, a caveat that applies to this page too. The fair note for a Spacio refugee is track record. After watching a category veteran disappear from the App Store, "how long has this vendor been around, and how do I get my data out?" are reasonable questions to put to any newer Spacio alternative, Showable included.
The part no Spacio replacement will give you
Spacio was unusual in this category: it was built with brokerages and enterprise accounts in mind, not just the solo agent at the door. If your team leaned on broker-level dashboards, office-wide reporting, or admin-managed agent accounts, set your expectations now. The solo-focused alternatives above do not replicate that layer. OpenHouse gives you a per-listing seller report, not an office rollup. Curb Hero and Open Home Pro center the individual agent's pipeline. If brokerage-wide visibility was the reason your office standardized on Spacio, that decision now moves up to whatever transaction or back-office platform your brokerage runs. No sign-in app on this list fills that seat by itself. For the individual agent, though, the daily job of capturing visitors, qualifying them, and following up is fully covered. Covered better, if anything.
The real lesson: pick an export-first Spacio replacement
Step back from the app shopping for one paragraph, because the Spacio shutdown teaches something bigger than "pick a new logo." Every cloud-first tool carries platform risk. Your data lives on someone else's servers, behind someone else's login, subject to someone else's plans. Most of the time that is fine. The day it is not, whether through an acquisition, a sunset, or a removed App Store listing, you find out how hard the vendor made it to leave.
So whatever Spacio alternative you choose, apply one test before anything else: how do I get my leads out, today, without asking permission? If the answer involves a support ticket, keep shopping. This is why we built OpenHouse as an app where export is the default. CSV, Contacts, vCard, and CRM handoff are front-door features, not buried settings, and the data sits on your iPad in the first place. Grade every candidate on that axis, including ours.
A migration plan you can finish this week
You do not need a committee for this. Here is the whole move:
- Export from Spacio now. Follow the full Spacio shutdown story and rescue guide while your login still works. Save the CSV in two places.
- Pick your lane. Free with lender co-marketing (Curb Hero), established tablet flow (Open Home Pro), newer entrant (Showable), or paid, offline-first, export-first (OpenHouse). The table above is the decision in one screen; for deeper head-to-heads, browse all comparisons.
- Import your contacts into your CRM or address book from the rescued CSV. Do not let the export sit as a forgotten file.
- Dry-run your new Spacio replacement before a live event. Put your iPad in airplane mode and run five fake sign-ins. If the app cannot handle that, you have learned something important for free.
- Run your next open house on the new tool, then export that event's leads the same day. The export habit is the whole point.
A stranded Spacio user can finish steps one through four in an afternoon. The agents who get hurt by shutdowns are the ones who wait.
Frequently asked questions
Is Spacio shut down?
Spacio's iOS app was removed from the App Store on January 12, 2026, and its listing now shows the app as unavailable, so new downloads are no longer possible. A copy already installed on your iPad may still open, but you should not run live open houses on an app that can no longer be updated or reinstalled.
Can I still get my Spacio lead data?
If you can still log into your Spacio account on the web or in an installed copy of the app, export your contacts immediately rather than waiting. Our Spacio shutdown rescue guide walks through every export path step by step.
What is the closest Spacio replacement?
It depends on what you used Spacio for. Solo agents who mainly need iPad sign-in and clean lead export will find OpenHouse or Curb Hero closest; teams that leaned on Spacio's brokerage-level dashboards will not find a true one-to-one replacement among the solo-focused apps.
Is there a free Spacio alternative?
Curb Hero is free and well reviewed, funded by lender co-marketing rather than subscriptions. OpenHouse is a paid app with a one-month free trial that keeps leads on your device and makes export the default.
