If you're here, you already know you need a tool for new-build properties. The question is which one: REDSP or Metainmo. And it's a decision that affects your CRM, your website, your portals and your relationship with developers, so it isn't something to be taken lightly.
Since we are REDSP and you're probably thinking we can't be entirely neutral (even though we'll say we ought to be), everything you read in this comparison comes from the official websites of both platforms and you can check it for yourself.
Comparison table: REDSP vs Metainmo
Before getting into the table, it's worth clearing up a difference that changes how the numbers should be read: REDSP counts references and Metainmo counts the total units in a development. If a developer is building 40 identical villas in the same development, REDSP records it as 1 reference (because commercially it's the same product) and Metainmo records it as 40 units. It isn't better or worse, it's a different way of counting, and seeing it this way helps you interpret the rest of the table.

What the numbers don't tell you
Tables help, but there are things a cell can't explain.
How inventory is counted in REDSP and in Metainmo
It's the most visible difference and the one that's most confusing at first glance. Metainmo publishes more than 18,000 units, REDSP publishes just over 2,100 references. It looks like a huge gap, but it's the same new-build portfolio counted two different ways.
REDSP counts references. If a developer builds 40 identical villas, that's 1 reference.
Metainmo counts units. The same 40 villas are counted as 40 units.
What kind of developments you find in each tool
REDSP only accepts developments with a minimum commission of 3%. Below that, the development doesn't go into the database. Metainmo doesn't apply that filter and developments with 1% or 2% commissions appear in its catalogue.
On paper it doesn't seem relevant, but when you're closing a sale and you discover that your real margin is half of what you expected, it stops being a small detail.
This also explains why the number of developments on each platform is measured differently: it isn't the same to accept everything that comes in as to apply a filter beforehand.
As estate agents ourselves, we know that it isn't profitable to sell new-build below 3%.
Search filters in Metainmo
Metainmo has a search engine with lots of filters. Some are useful for the end buyer on a portal (orientation, floor, views) and others are more technical.
REDSP is born within the real estate sector and prioritises the filters a sales agent actually uses day to day: area, price, type, commission, distance to the beach, etc.
It's a difference of approach, not of technical capability, and believe us, you notice it once you've spent a couple of hours using one and the other.
REDSP vs Metainmo pricing
Without a doubt, one of the most relevant factors when making a decision is the monthly cost it represents for your agency.
REDSP starts at €15/month with annual payment for Zone 3 (Costa Cálida + Almería) and includes, from that same plan: XML feed, microsites so you can send selections to clients, and landing pages (among other things). The sign-up fee in this case is €80.
Metainmo works with four plans: Basic, Basic + XML, Basic with reports, and Complete. The cheapest plan doesn't include XML or microsites or landing pages. If you want both things (which is what an agency with its own website and CRM needs), you have to move up to a higher plan. The sign-up fee is €125 and the monthly fee is around €55/month + VAT.
For an agency that needs XML (to feed its CRM and its website) and microsites (to present selections to clients), the monthly difference between one and the other isn't small, and it's worth working it out with equivalent plans, not by comparing Metainmo's cheapest plan with REDSP's.

Access to the developer's documentation
When you send a dossier to a client, what makes the difference isn't the public listing, it's the plans, the specifications, the renders and the up-to-date availability lists. That information is always in the developer's Dropbox.
REDSP gives direct access to each developer's Dropbox. You download plans and specifications without having to ask for them by email, without waiting for a reply, without depending on the developer's sales rep being available at seven o'clock on a Friday evening.
Metainmo downloads information from the developer onto its platform, but it doesn't give access to the developer's Dropbox. If you need something that isn't already on the platform, the enquiry goes through Metainmo, not directly to the developer.
The same goes for contact details: REDSP publishes the name, phone number and email of the person who handles each developer. In Metainmo, contact is channelled through the platform itself.
Why REDSP is the best option for estate agents
Leaving the comparison aside, there are certain things that don't show up in a table but that matter day to day.
- Six years working with agencies and developers every day.
- Almost 300 developers with whom we keep a direct and verified relationship.
- Verified prices and commissions.
- Listings in 12 languages with automatic translations.
- Full integration with your CRM and your website via XML, included from the most basic plan or through Inmovilla.
- Microsites and landing pages included in every plan.
- Sales channel protection by removing names from renders, street names from plans, logos, etc. (currently done by hand, no AI involved).
- ANET, the REDSP agent referral network that lets you share commission when you have a client for an area another agency knows better than you, or when you don't speak the client's language and you'd rather another agent of that nationality looked after your client.

Which platform are you going with, Metainmo or REDSP?
If your agency needs a simple new-build system where every home counts as a separate listing, without XML or microsites included, Metainmo can be a fit.
But if what you're after is to work with XML and microsites included with no extra charges, direct access to the developer's Dropbox and phone number, and a portfolio with a 3% minimum commission, REDSP has been offering exactly that for 6 years.
What's the quickest way to decide? Pick a development in your area, ask for a demo and check the data directly with the developer. A demo with real data is worth more than any comparison table. Sign up with REDSP and see for yourself.
Frequently asked questions
Are REDSP and Metainmo the same?
They are 2 tools that solve the same problem but in different ways: REDSP focuses on ease of use and on providing the most complete service possible at the most adjusted price possible. It's designed by agents for agents, with real estate criteria in mind. Metainmo is designed by IT specialists, so the solution can be more visually appealing and more complete in some respects, but that extra information has little practical use for the real estate sector.
How much does REDSP cost compared to Metainmo?
REDSP starts from €15/month with annual payment for Zone 3, with XML feed and microsites included in every plan, and a sign-up fee from €80. Metainmo has four plans and the most basic one doesn't include XML or microsites; to have both you have to go up to the Complete plan. Its sign-up fee is €125.
Does Metainmo have more developments than REDSP?
Metainmo publishes more than 18,000 units because it counts every unit in each development. REDSP publishes more than 2,100 references because it groups all the homes of a single development and typology into one reference. It's the same new-build portfolio counted two different ways. If a developer builds 40 identical villas, on Metainmo you'll see 40 units and on REDSP 1 reference.
Which platform has been on the market longer?
REDSP has been operating since July 2020, Metainmo launched its platform in 2024. As a new-build management tool for estate agents, REDSP has been on the market longer.
Can I connect both platforms to my CRM and my website?
Yes, but under different conditions. REDSP includes the XML feed in every plan (from €15/month in Zone 3) and lets you choose between 3 XML feed formats (Kyero V3, REDSP v3 and REDSP v4). Metainmo includes it in its higher plans, not in the basic one.
