APR reality check

We surface advertised ranges and explain how credit tier, term, and amount change your offer.

Fee drag

Origination fees can erase “low rate” wins — we bake them into total cost of borrowing.

Soft-pull shopping

Lenders that let you check rates without a hard inquiry score higher for borrower-friendliness.
