Relendi vs Lev: which AI lender-matching tool fits your deals?
Relendi and Lev both use AI to match commercial real estate deals with lenders, but they start in different places. Lev describes itself as "the AI platform and product system for commercial real estate teams", with a CRM, pipeline, data rooms, lender search, lender matching (Lev Match) and AI agents, on paid plans that start at $299 a month. Relendi starts from one deal. An address becomes a deal file, the loan is sized on debt service coverage, loan-to-value and debt yield, and the file is screened against each lender's credit box before anyone sends it. Relendi is free to run and charges a success fee only when a deal funds through a lender it introduced. Pick Lev if you want one operating system for a whole capital markets team. Pick Relendi if you want to know which lenders a deal clears, and why, before you spend a relationship.

When Lev is the better fit
- You run a capital markets team and want the CRM, pipeline, data rooms, memos and lender outreach in one paid platform.
- You want lender data and lender appetite signals, with matching built into a team workflow.
- You want your AI assistant connected to your team's own deal, CRM and pipeline data through an authenticated MCP.
When Relendi is the better fit
- You want to know which lenders a specific deal clears, and the test that stops each one, before you send it.
- You want the sizing shown: the loan amount, the binding test, and the bridge from filed income to underwritten income.
- You want to start free, and pay only when a deal funds through a lender Relendi introduced.
- You want any AI assistant to size a deal with no account or API key, and hand it to Relendi for matching in one link.
- Your deals are in New York or Florida, where Relendi also itemizes closing costs, including NY mortgage recording tax, CEMA and Florida documentary stamp tax.
Can you use both?
Yes. They do different jobs. A team can keep its relationships and pipeline in its CRM and still run each deal through Relendi's screen before it goes out. Relendi charges nothing when you close with a lender from your own book.
