MonitorBase watches their credit. Vurno watches their home, and writes the message.
MonitorBase is a credit-triggered alert service: you hear when a past client applies elsewhere, when their score crosses your minimum, when their home lists. Vurno watches the home and the homeowner, sends them a report under your brand, and turns what changed into a to-do list with the text drafted. Here is the honest side-by-side.
Everything in one table.
Vurno’s column is what the product does today. MonitorBase’s column is what their public pages say, as of 10-05-2026. Where their site doesn’t mention something, the cell says so instead of guessing.

Where MonitorBase is stronger.
If one of these is the thing you need, MonitorBase is the better buy today, and we’d rather you know before the trial than after.
Credit data
Experian-backed alerts when a past client applies for a mortgage elsewhere, when their score reaches your minimum, when a bankruptcy seasons. Vurno never looks at a credit file; it watches the home and the homeowner's engagement with your emails and page.
Offers of credit sent for you
MonitorBase mails and emails firm offers of credit on your behalf and handles the compliance letter. Vurno's outbound is the homeowner report, rate-watch hits and the congratulations you switch on.
SoftPull
A client, or a referral partner's client, texts a word and gets pre-qualified from their phone with a soft inquiry. Vurno has nothing like it.
Breadth of CRM and LOS integrations
Direct connections to Surefire, Total Expert, Bonzo, bntouch and more, four LOS systems, and an API. Vurno connects to GoHighLevel, Follow Up Boss and anything that can send or receive a webhook.
Six things that are different on day one.
- 01
A price you can see
Vurno Solo is $97 a month, listed, with a 14-day trial. MonitorBase prices each loan officer after a demo.
- 02
Something your past clients actually receive
A monthly report under your brand that teases the value, shows the sales nearby and brings them to a page where they can ask you a question. MonitorBase sends offers of credit; Vurno sends something they open.
- 03
The reasons, not just the alert
Vurno's heat score shows why: the rate gap in dollars a month, PMI that can come off, equity to tap, the page they viewed twice. The to-do that comes with it has the call, email and text already drafted.
- 04
Texts from your own number
Vurno texts you, never the homeowner. Tap the alert and your Messages app opens with the client's number and a draft typed.
- 05
Agents, too
Search a ZIP, grade the agents, move the good ones through a pipeline. From Meeting Set on, Vurno watches their listings and closings and drafts the congratulations.
- 06
Fair-lending by design
The heat score uses loan terms, property data, market data and the client's own engagement. Nothing about the person, and nothing from a credit bureau.
Questions people ask when they’re switching.
Is Vurno a replacement for MonitorBase?
Only partly. Both tell you when a past client's home lists and both predict who is likely to transact. MonitorBase does it from credit data and sends offers of credit for you; Vurno does it from the home, the rate and the homeowner's own engagement, and sends them a report. If credit-inquiry alerts are the thing you pay for, keep MonitorBase; a lot of loan officers would run both.
Does Vurno alert me when a past client's credit is pulled?
No. Vurno watches the home and the homeowner's engagement with your emails and page: value, equity, listing status, rate gap, PMI, questions they ask you. Nothing from a credit file.
Does Vurno send offers of credit?
No. Vurno's outbound is the monthly or quarterly report under your brand, a one-time email when a rate target the client set is reached, and the congratulations to partner agents you switch on. Everything to a homeowner carries an unsubscribe.
Where do the home values come from?
Zillow, Redfin and Realtor.com estimates, blended, refreshed on a schedule, with recent sales nearby from the same sources. Rates are Freddie Mac's national weekly average for a 30-year fixed.
Is there a contract?
No. Plans are month to month or annual, and you cancel from Billing. The trial is 14 days with no card.
Is this comparison up to date?
The MonitorBase column was read from their public pages on the date in the footnote, with links. If something has changed, tell us at support@vurno.io and we'll fix it.
