Model Match and Polygon Research overlap in mortgage production lookups, geographic filtering and MLO recruiting. Model Match is built around finding people and activating outreach. Its public product emphasizes agent and loan-officer profiles, relationship mapping, lists, contact enrichment, CRM workflows and borrower prospecting. Its market reports extend that workflow with production leaderboards and personnel movement.
Polygon Research supports recruiting with MLO production and county-recorder data, then connects those opportunities to market size, borrower and community demand, product and credit-box trends, custom peer benchmarks, fair-lending analysis, agency and FHA activity, Non-QM, affordability and environmental risk. It is an analytical environment for recruiting, strategy, product, compliance, secondary-market and community teams—not only a prospecting workflow.
Model Match also promotes borrower contact enrichment tied to mortgage and property characteristics. That is a different product choice, not simply another analytical feature. Lenders should evaluate privacy, permissible-use, fair-lending, consent and brand implications before operationalizing enriched consumer records for outreach. Polygon Research analyzes borrower and community patterns without presenting individual consumer contact data as market intelligence.
Model Match publishes large headline record counts, but its public pages do not explain how those counts are deduplicated, how sources overlap or how freshness varies by dataset. Polygon Research emphasizes governed definitions, source context and reproducible answers.
Model Match is a focused choice when the immediate workflow is building lists, enriching contacts and managing outreach. Polygon Research is the more comprehensive choice for MLO recruiters and mortgage organizations that need to decide where to grow, whom to recruit, what products to offer and how to act with stronger strategic and compliance context.
Model Match publishes nationwide plans at $49, $99 and $199 per month. Standard focuses on search and data access; Essentials adds CRM and outbound workflows; Premium adds unlimited profile and list exports and API access. Enterprise pricing is custom and includes MCP/API server access. Model Match advertises month-to-month subscriptions and a 14-day trial.
Polygon Research provides nationwide access starting at $199 per month or $166 per month billed annually. Pricing is public, access is browser-based, and customers can choose monthly or annual subscriptions. MortgageData.ai also has a forever-free tier, a $79 per month Essentials on MortgageData.AI, and includes an AI assistant across connected mortgage, property, agency, borrower, community and risk data.
These prices are not apples-to-apples. Model Match’s lower tiers buy a focused recruiting and prospecting workflow. Polygon Research’s subscription is a broader analytical environment used across recruiting, strategy, product, compliance, secondary-market and community teams.
