What each record credits
TrustEngine: Trigger and borrower conversation come from one vendor, not bought and integrated separately. TrustEngine: Widest partner list in this batch, naming Encompass, SimpleNexus, Total Expert and Velocify. TrustEngine: An enhanced Encompass integration landed in June 2026, so LOS work is current. TrustEngine: MortgageCoach ships since 1997, adding a 2025 mobile app and 2026 AI summaries. myhomeIQ: Real published pricing, $247 monthly or $1,800 annual for up to 1,250 homeowners. myhomeIQ: Open overage pricing, $0.25 or $0.20 per extra report, keeps scaling predictable. myhomeIQ: Unlimited agent connections at no extra cost make co-marketing cheap to expand. myhomeIQ: Enterprise adds white-label branding, central admin, branch management and compliance control for field deployments.
What each record holds against them
TrustEngine: Messaging has narrowed to MortgageCoach; Sales Boomerang survives mainly on history pages. TrustEngine: No pricing published for either half, and two products mean two line items. TrustEngine: Presentations only pay off if officers build them, a problem vendors cannot solve. TrustEngine: A new CEO arrived January 2026, so the roadmap is younger than the products. myhomeIQ: No named CRM or LOS integration, only a general statement that databases sync. myhomeIQ: The annual plan bills $1,800 up front before the first report goes out. myhomeIQ: Seller scoring is proprietary with no published accuracy measure, trusted rather than checked. myhomeIQ: Equity reports are a crowded field, and differentiation rests on the agent features.
Which one fits which shop
Best fit for TrustEngine: A retail lender losing recapture that wants the trigger and the borrower conversation in one contract. Best fit for myhomeIQ: An originator who wants a monthly homeowner equity report going out automatically and an agent partnership. hook attached to it.
What each entry concludes
TrustEngine: TrustEngine is what LLR Partners built after buying Sales Boomerang and Mortgage Coach in 2022. TrustEngine: One half watches lender data and fires an alert when a past borrower looks ready to transact. TrustEngine: The other half, MortgageCoach, has sold loan comparisons since 1997 and gives the officer something to say. TrustEngine: Owning both ends of recapture beats assembling alerts and presentations separately, and that is the reason to buy. TrustEngine: Public messaging has narrowed sharply: the site leads with MortgageCoach and every 2026 newsroom item concerns it. myhomeIQ: myhomeIQ, run by SOA Labs, sends past clients a branded monthly home value and equity report. myhomeIQ: Predictive scoring sits on top and flags who is likely to sell within twelve months. myhomeIQ: Around that sit a refinance scanner, buyer funnels for niche programs, landing pages and an agent discovery tool. myhomeIQ: The agent tool turns the homeowner report into a shared asset with a real estate partner. myhomeIQ: It is built for the individual originator and the branch, and the agent partnership angle is what decides.
