Areal.ai: CD balancing and fee reconciliation attack specific high-error tasks, not generic extraction. Areal.ai: Covers lender and title agency sides, useful for firms operating on both. Trained AI: Charges per closed and funded loan, so cost tracks production. Trained AI: Six lender customers named publicly, Victorian Finance and VIP Mortgage among them. Trained AI: Runs behind the LOS, so processors and underwriters keep familiar screens.
What each record holds against them
Areal.ai: The 2 to 4 hours and 99 percent accuracy claims lack published methodology. Areal.ai: No ownership, investor or funding disclosure anywhere on the site. Areal.ai: Pricing is demo-gated with no billing unit disclosed, per loan or per document. Trained AI: No LOS is named as a certified or tested integration. Trained AI: The 90 percent touch cut and fifteenfold ROI are vendor figures, unvalidated. Trained AI: Per-loan rates are unpublished, so unit economics still need a sales conversation.
Which one fits which shop
