Appraisal software, compared

Appraisal software for UAD 3.6

UAD 3.6 is the new way appraisal reports for most home loans get filled out and sent. It replaces the old forms, like the 1004, with one report whose sections change to fit the property, delivered as a data file, a PDF and the photos. Starting November 2, 2026, it’s required for those reports, with some lenders allowed to keep the old format into 2027.

So a lot of appraisers are picking software again. Here’s what nine products say about themselves: what they cost, where they run, and what they do. We make one of them, so we stuck to what each company publishes and linked every source. Checked October 13, 2026.

How to pick

Start with who your reports are for. If most of your work is for lenders, you need software that delivers UAD 3.6 today and says it’s verified. Several on this list do. Gunter doesn’t yet. If your work is estates, divorces, trusts and tax appeals, verification matters less than how fast you get a clean report out.

Then where you work. Some of these are desktop downloads, some run in a browser on a Mac or a PC, and some have a phone app for the inspection. One browser product works only in Chrome.

Read the terms, not just the price. Some first-year prices go up at renewal. Some plans cap how many reports you can do each month. One asks for a 12-month commitment. Several free periods have an end date.

Try it on a real file. TOTAL has a 30-day trial, apprAIz gives your first 3 reports free, and Aivre and Property Appraiser Pro are free for now.

Where Gunter fits

Gunter is newer than almost everything above. Today it’s built for non-lender residential work, it runs in your browser, and it drafts the writing so you can spend your time on the judgment. It isn’t verified for lender work yet, it has no phone app, and its sketch is basic. We’d rather you know that now.
