ActiveComply: Covers marketing compliance only; no loan-level QC, HMDA analysis or regulatory testing. ActiveComply: No LOS, CRM or marketing automation integration is named on the site. ActiveComply: Quote-only pricing that swings with how many of the five modules you take. ActiveComply: Monitoring depth depends on each platform’s API and terms, outside vendor control.
