What each record holds against them

MonitorBase: No pricing published anywhere, and cost scales with the database being monitored. MonitorBase: Alert volume without enforced follow-up makes noise, not loans, a recurring buyer complaint. MonitorBase: Credit-based alerting carries FCRA duties, including a firm offer of credit, on the lender. Modex: No integration of any kind appears on the site, not even an API. Modex: Neither the Profiles per-hire fee nor the Recruit subscription rate is published. Modex: The Modex Score methodology is unpublished, so hiring partly rests on an unauditable number.

Which one fits which shop

What each entry concludes

MonitorBase: MonitorBase watches a lender’s database and raises a hand when someone in it is about to transact. MonitorBase: Inquiry alerts fire when a past client shops elsewhere. Modex: Modex is a loan officer data and recruiting marketplace built on one idea. Modex: An originator’s claimed production should be checkable before you hire them.
