Loft47 is a serious financial back office with real trust accounting and one of the most transparent pricing pages in the category. The honest comparison is not about who hides their price. It is about how much of your brokerage each one actually runs.
| Capability | BrokerChamp | Loft47 |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Flat fee per brokerage, up to 100 agents included. No setup fee on the founding rate. | Published tiers by active agent count. Licensing-only starts at $1,000/mo for 0 to 99 agents, plus a mandatory one-time setup fee starting at $2,000. |
| Pricing transparency | Published on the pricing page, both plans, all agent bands. | Also fully published, with a complete tier table. Credit where it is due, this is unusually transparent for the category. |

Loft47 is a financial-first platform and it shows. If your brokerage runs real trust and escrow accounts, needs automated bank reconciliation, and wants compliance checks gating fund release, their accounting depth is a real advantage and we will say so on a call. Their commission engine is excellent, their data portability posture is strong, and their pricing page is the most honest in the category.
BrokerChamp is a whole-brokerage platform. Alongside commissions and payouts, it runs the things Loft47 does not sell at all: agent onboarding and recruiting, your public website and agent roster sync, lead capture and routing, agent landing pages, agent marketing, and a conversational AI assistant trained on your own data. It also bills your agents on a recurring basis, not just at closing.
On price, the comparison is closer than it looks. Loft47's licensing-only tier starts at $1,000 per month for up to 99 agents and carries a mandatory $2,000 setup fee. The BrokerChamp founding rate is $899 per month with no setup fee and free migration. If you were planning to buy a separate website, lead capture, and onboarding tool on top, that gap widens considerably.
Trust and escrow accounting is the center of your operation, you want automated bank reconciliation and full financial statements, and you already have your website, onboarding, and lead tooling handled elsewhere. Cross-border US and Canada operations are also a genuine Loft47 strength.
You want one platform to run the brokerage, not just its books: commissions and payouts plus onboarding, compliance, your public website, lead capture, agent landing pages, and agent marketing, on one flat bill with no setup fee and migration included.
