LendingPad wins 2 of 5 axes. Same rubric, same weights, no sponsorships.
The bet each one asks a broker shop to make
Both systems sell to shops with no full time system administrator. Neither expects a certified admin on payroll. The difference is what you buy alongside the loan file. LendingPad sells a core file plus a partner marketplace. Arive bundles the point of sale and the pricing engine into the seat price. That single choice drives your cost per loan more than the sticker does.
What you assemble versus what arrives bundled
LendingPad names Floify and Shape for point of sale. It names Jungo, BNTouch, Leadpops and eight other marketing tools. For pricing and secondary it names Grit N Grace Solutions and Generations Funding Group. Each of those is a separate contract and a separate bill.
Arive names almost no third party point of sale, pricing or CRM vendor. That absence is the design, not a gap. Arive runs its own point of sale and pricing engine beside a lender marketplace. Its integration page is dominated by credit bureaus. DocMagic, Docusign, Twilio, SendGrid and Zapier sit alongside them. A shop committed to Jungo or Floify should confirm the path before signing.
Price, published in full by both
Arive publishes seat pricing outright. Core originator seats run $49.99 monthly billed yearly and $59.99 billed monthly. Pro seats run $69.99 and $79.99. Non delegated seats run $99.99 either way. Support seats cost less, between $19.99 and $49.99.
LendingPad advertises entry at $59 per month for brokers. Broker seats generally land between $40 and $100 monthly. The lender edition switches to $100 to $200 per closed loan. That per loan model punishes low pull-through in a way seats do not. Model both against your fallout rate before you compare headline numbers.
Contract terms, which nobody reads until renewal
LendingPad broker agreements run twelve months. Enterprise terms run thirty six to seventy two months. Setup fees are non refundable. A long term at lender pricing becomes a large committed spend.
Arive publishes a free trial with no setup or onboarding fees. Trial lengths of seven and twenty one days appear on its signup page. It publishes no contract term for paid seats. Ask for the paid agreement length and the cancellation notice period in writing.
The evidence a buyer can actually check
LendingPad carries a real third party review record. G2 shows 4.7 across 168 reviews. Capterra shows 4.4 across 134. Reviewers praise chat support answered within minutes. The same reviewers report data not saving and slow pipeline loading.
No G2 or Capterra listing for Arive could be located. Arive instead publishes a live status page. On 19 August 2026 it reported 99.97 percent LOS uptime over thirty days. Its pricing engine showed 99.99 percent and its point of sale showed 100 percent. Logged outages in late July and early August ran three minutes each. LendingPad publishes no equivalent page. Its live support window is Monday to Friday, noon to 5pm Eastern. Arive publishes support hours of 5:30am to 5:30pm Pacific.
Who is behind each company
Arive is owned by Wizni, Inc. of San Ramon, California. Wizni states it is majority owned by founder Harish Tejwani. It states the business has taken no outside investment. It also states that no lender partner or broker customer holds an ownership stake. Those claims are specific and easy to put into a contract.
LendingPad discloses no parent, investor, headcount or customer count. Its own about page still carries placeholder text where the founder name belongs. Wes Yuan is named as founder and chief executive elsewhere. Arive figures of 25,000 loan officers and 5,000 broker firms are vendor stated and unverified.
Which one to pick
A broker shop already paying for Floify, Jungo or a chosen pricing engine should take LendingPad. It connects to those tools and has a review record you can read.
A shop starting fresh, or cutting three vendor bills down to one, should take Arive. Bundled point of sale and pricing removes contracts and administrative overhead.
Ask LendingPad for the setup fee amount, the broker term length and the renewal notice date in writing. Ask Arive which wholesale lenders return live pricing rather than uploaded rate sheets.
