Compare the deal, not just the headline rate.
PlainFigure turns mortgage offers, refinance options, debt payoff plans, and retirement assumptions into decision briefs: the cost spread, the tradeoffs, the questions to ask, and the next action. Calculators run in your browser and show their assumptions.
Next: request zero-point quotes from both lenders before applying.
