IDK why appraisers think some magic software company will save them from the rigors of a UAD 3.6 report - it is the SAME 3.6 regardless of which software provider you choose !! There is no way they can change that, or the fact that it is a drop-down field at a time format. As far as integrating with AIVRE or any software data import or AI , any of the software, far as I know, can integrate with these and on programs. The churn and burn crowd will use these programs to auto-fill with no or little analysis of their own, and the conscientious appraisers will do more time-consuming personal analysis, regardless of which software they use. All of this is my opinion, but I am correct about the fact that none of these software providers can change what the 3.6 entails, lots of detailed data fields and additional time at inspection.
IMO, an established company like ALAMODE and its several competitors at least have a live on-call support staff and decades of experience, and also offer legacy and private forms. Who will answer the phone or help live if needed at these new startups, and what if they fold overnight and go out of business? They won't be any cheaper in the long run either. No company can possibly offer workable software for cheap and stay in business.
The only difference imo might be if one software provider vs another solves the drop-down field menu better than another- and that assumes the drop-down menu, which depends on importing certain comments to avoid tedious rewriting, will even work with 3.6 .
