Side-by-Side Comparison

    Sure, there are other systems out there. But do they really stack up?

    You've seen what Private Money HQ does. Here's how it compares to what else is out there, now with Version 2 of the Private Money HQ LOS.

    Version 2

    The gaps are closed.

    Private Money HQ Version 2 adds the processing tools brokers used to buy a second system for. Included in Core at no extra cost.

    Branded Borrower Portal

    Borrowers submit properties, upload requested docs, and track progress, verified by one-time passcode.

    E-Signatures

    Send, track, void, or revoke signing packages without leaving the LOS.

    Conditions & Checklists

    Program-specific checklists, per-lender doc lists, and PTD/PTF condition tracking.

    AI Quote Import

    Paste or upload a lender quote and compare options side by side.

    Lender Submission Package

    Export a submission-ready file and MISMO 3.x XML.

    Lead Scoring & SLA Tracking

    Every lead scored Hot to Cold, with response-time alerts so nothing goes cold.

    The DIY Route

    Why Not Just Build This Yourself?

    GoHighLevel, Zoho, Salesforce. Any of these can technically become a private-money broker system. Nobody's stopping you. But "can become" is doing a lot of work in that sentence. You're not buying a system. You're buying a blank slate and signing up to be its product manager, indefinitely.

    Time to launch
    Build It Yourself

    4–12+ weeks of intake, process mapping, and build sprints before you touch a live lead

    Private Money HQ

    About 10 business days

    Upfront cost
    Build It Yourself

    $5,000–$15,000+ in agency or consultant fees, before you've used it once

    Private Money HQ

    $500 one-time setup (Core plan)

    Private-money tools
    Build It Yourself

    None, natively. Deal math, lender matching, and term sheets get built from scratch or bolted on later

    Private Money HQ

    Live on day one: 7-program Quick App with live deal math, lender match, 100+ lender database, term sheets and LOIs

    Borrower portal & e-sign
    Build It Yourself

    Another integration to buy, connect, and maintain

    Private Money HQ

    Built in: verified borrower portal, e-signatures, and condition tracking

    Who maintains it
    Build It Yourself

    You, or whoever you hired, forever

    Private Money HQ

    Ampd maintains the core system; you use it

    Marketing-to-loan-file connection
    Build It Yourself

    Two separate systems, synced manually or not at all

    Private Money HQ

    One CRM record, nothing to sync

    The thing nobody else has out of the box: real-time LTV/LTC/DSCR deal math, automated lender scoring, borrower portal, and term sheets that all write to the same contact record, no double entry, no second login. Build that yourself and you're not configuring a CRM. You're building software.

    Head-to-Head

    Vs. The Other Popular Options Built for Brokers

    These four are the ones we hear about most in live conversations. Fair comparison, both directions, here's where each one actually wins.

    Private Money HQ
    $299/mo + $500 setup (V2 included)
    Best fit

    Private-money brokers running business-purpose, non-owner-occupied deals

    Lending Automator
    ~$297/mo (3 users, advertised)
    Best fit

    Brokers who only need file processing, not marketing

    Where Ampd wins

    Full marketing engine (SMS/email, nurture, reactivation, lead scoring) + live deal math + borrower portal, all in one record

    Fair trade-off

    Built-in soft credit pulls and deeper close-rate reporting

    LendingWise
    $600/mo (5-user plan)
    Best fit

    Brokers and lenders needing broader CRM + LOS + servicing

    Where Ampd wins

    Stronger demand generation and nurture, built for brokers, not direct lenders

    Fair trade-off

    Stronger for servicing, post-funding, and investor operations

    Mortgage Automator
    Custom quote (est. ~$447+/mo)
    Best fit

    Private lenders and lender-broker hybrids

    Where Ampd wins

    Built for broker growth, not lender back-office

    Fair trade-off

    Stronger for servicing, compliance, and back-office ops

    ARIVE
    ~$150/mo (3 seats, annual)
    Best fit

    Traditional or conventional mortgage brokers

    Where Ampd wins

    Purpose-built for private-money deal math and lender criteria

    Fair trade-off

    Stronger for conventional/wholesale mortgage workflow

    Pricing shown is publicly advertised or estimated as of October 2026 and changes often. Confirm current pricing directly with the vendor before quoting a number to a broker.

    The Rest of the Field

    Everyone Else, In One Breath

    Zoho CRM

    Flexible and inexpensive per seat, but most brokers need a paid consultant to build and change it. Ampd arrives already built for private money.

    Liquid Logics

    Built for lender and fund operations: servicing, investor reporting, portfolio management. Ampd is built for getting the deal, not administering it after close.

    The Mortgage Office

    A back-office platform for lenders and funds handling payments, escrow, and trust accounting. A broker shouldn't pay for infrastructure they don't operate.

    Lendr, LendFoundry, LoanPro

    Lender-side origination and servicing infrastructure. Built to run a lending business, not grow a brokerage.

    LendingPad, Encompass, Byte, MeridianLink

    Built for conventional, regulated residential mortgage. A different business than private-money brokerage.
