What each record holds against them
AppraisalWorks: No pricing, customer count or transaction volume is published anywhere. AppraisalWorks: Encompass is the only LOS named on the site.

Connexions: Pricing and tier structure are undisclosed, with no stated minimum volume. Connexions: Published integration list runs materially shorter than Jaro’s.
Which one fits which shop

What each entry concludes

AppraisalWorks: Arrowbase Technologies built it in Cleveland, with a US patent on the platform. Connexions: Connexions is appraisal management software, not an appraisal service. Connexions: It sells to lenders, AMCs, brokers, and any shop running its own vendor panel.
