Stride vs Pebble:
Two Great Companies, Two Different Approaches
Both Stride CRM and Pebble are excellent platforms built specifically for land investors. This comparison helps you understand which approach aligns best with your business needs.
Why We Built Stride
We didn’t build Stride to compete with Pebble. We built it because, as land investors ourselves, we were duct-taping too many tools together to run deals at speed.
We wanted one clean, powerful platform that could run our entire business without friction or complexity—everything in one place.
💡 Note: We respect what Pebble has built for the land community. If you’re happy there, keep crushing it! If you’re curious about a different approach—an integrated, all-in-one platform—we’d love to show you Stride.
Two Different Philosophies
Understanding the core differences in approach
Stride’s Approach
All-in-one platform with everything included (CRM, automations, e-signatures, pages, messaging, scheduling, dashboards). Predictable, integrated, and designed for teams that want speed with less complexity.
Pebble’s Approach
Specialized CRM for land investors with a modular mindset. Start with core functions and extend as needed. Great if you prefer a focused tool you can augment over time.
