The best is yet to come, not available yet.
But of the three, my reluctant choice would be Alamode.

ACI is more interested in keeping the lenders happy. A la mode is more interested in keeping appraisers happy. I don't know much about dayone.
Go with a la mode.

Hi schutter --
Welcome to the forum!
I use ClickForms, and plan on sticking with it. It's a good program for an individual, which suits my needs.
When I was a trainee, one of my supervisors used Alamode. It's robust software, but it seemed better suited to a multi appraiser office than a solo shop. I don't know how much it's changed, but back then a new report had to be created through the database management program; it also had some other features I didn't like.
One advantage of ClickForms is that you can try it for 30 days, before making a decision. They also have a variety of purchase options, including monthly fees. If you buy it and don't need tech support, the one time purchase can be all you need.
All of the programs have their fans and detractors -- give them a try, and see it suits your needs.
Good Luck!

Don't forget it comes with a camera and an exercise program.

I switched from ACI to Alamode about 5 years ago. Main reason was ACI's customer support who treated me like I was an idiot anytime I called with a problem. And at that time, their software had lots of problems.
Alamode customer service can not be beat! They are personable, professional, and know what they are doing.
In addition, we have their leader on our side.
Just my 2 cents.

Alamode is too expensive for me. Being small, and doing less residential work now days, WCA has the right price, right support, and less maintenance cost without "silver", "gold", or "platinum" levels.
