BNTouch Mortgage CRM
Built for mortgage from the ground up. Digital 1003, Encompass/Calyx/BytePro native integrations, 180+ pre-built mortgage marketing campaigns, TCPA-related texting, borrower portal, mortgage website builder. Implementation is days, not weeks. Pricing: $165 Individual, $95/user Team. Transparent.
Where it wins
Time to first loan closed through the system. Cost over 12 months for teams under 200 users. Mortgage-specific workflows as product default.
Tradeoffs
Less customization flexibility for non-mortgage use cases. No arbitrary custom objects or Apex code.
Jungo (on Salesforce)
Mortgage package built on Salesforce. Mortgage functionality without platform migration.
Where it wins
Avoids platform migration. Adds mortgage workflows to existing Salesforce footprint.
Tradeoffs
Inherits Salesforce cost and complexity. Only makes sense if Salesforce is a company-wide commitment.
Surefire CRM

Where it wins
Enterprise marketing infrastructure. Strong compliance and brand tooling.
Tradeoffs
Enterprise pricing. Overbuilt for independents and mid-size brokers.

Where it wins
Regulated-industry focus. Strong on audit trails and compliance.
Tradeoffs

HubSpot
Best content marketing platform available. Not mortgage-native, but if your funnel is content-heavy, HubSpot’s marketing tools outperform vertical mortgage CRMs.
Where it wins
Best-in-class content marketing and landing page tooling.
Tradeoffs
Contact-based pricing gets expensive fast. Plan for add-ons to cover the mortgage operation.
GoHighLevel
Agency-model marketing platform. Flexible, inexpensive at small scale, not mortgage-native. Build your own mortgage stack on top.
Where it wins
Cheap at small scale. Highly flexible.
Tradeoffs

Salesforce-to-BNTouch migration
Export contacts, opportunities, activities, and attachments from Salesforce. Map into BNTouch fields. Most Salesforce custom fields for mortgage-specific data (loan amount, property, rate lock, co-borrower info) map to BNTouch first-class fields without custom configuration. Typical migration: 2 to 4 weeks for teams under 50 users. White Glove Service runs it if you want hands-off.
Frequently Asked Questions
I’m on Salesforce Essentials, is BNTouch overkill?
Probably not. Salesforce Essentials is a light generic CRM. BNTouch Individual is priced similarly ($165/month) and gives you the full mortgage platform. If you’re running mortgage on Essentials, you’re likely bolting a lot on already.
Can BNTouch handle custom fields and workflows like Salesforce?
BNTouch supports custom fields, lead scoring, routing rules, pipeline stages, and role-based permissions. It doesn’t support arbitrary custom objects or Apex-level customization. If your workflow requires that, Salesforce stays the right tool.
What about Salesforce Marketing Cloud migration?
Marketing Cloud users typically have complex journeys and data extensions. BNTouch doesn’t replicate that complexity. It replaces it with 180+ pre-built mortgage campaigns tuned for the industry. Most teams find they were using 20% of Marketing Cloud’s capability for mortgage and can consolidate cleanly.
How much will I save?
Depends on your Salesforce tier and team size. A 10-person team on Salesforce Professional plus basic integrations typically spends $25K-$40K/year. BNTouch Team for the same team runs $11,400/year. Implementation savings on top typically $15K-$40K one-time.
Will I lose any capability switching?
You’ll lose Salesforce’s custom object flexibility and ecosystem breadth outside mortgage. You’ll gain mortgage-specific workflows, LOS integration, TCPA compliance, and transparent predictable pricing. For mortgage-focused teams, the trade goes their way.
