Side by side

How KnockGenius and Terros compare

Who else can work your turf

One rep per territory, enforced in the system. While you hold it, KnockGenius won't sell, assign, or show it as available to anyone else.

Territory policy

Terros

Managers draw areas on the map and assign them to reps or teams.

Which doors come first

KnockGenius

Every door gets a Knock Score with its reasons listed: owner-occupied, home type, utility bill pain, and block saturation. Renters and homes with a recorded solar permit are left off.

How it works

Terros

Canvass Pro adds map filters such as last sold date and estimated credit band. It also shows permit history on each home.

Working without signal

KnockGenius

Outcomes save on the phone and sync when you reconnect. Your ranked doors stay available for up to 24 hours after the app last checked your access, along with any door cards it saved while you were online. Map imagery isn't guaranteed offline, so pins can show on a blank map.

Mobile app

Terros

The iOS app works offline-first. Changes queue on the device and upload when you reconnect, and map data you've viewed stays cached for up to 7 days.

If it doesn't work out

KnockGenius

Your first territory comes with a 14-day swap-or-credit. If it's materially wrong, tell us in that window and we'll move you to fresh turf or credit the month.

Territory policy

Terros

Terros doesn't refund mobile Canvass Pro and Max subscriptions. They run to the end of the billing cycle, and iOS refund requests go through Apple.
