Best when you want to know which charges can change the value of a loan, even when the rate looks competitive.
Best when you want to know what lenders usually check and whether your situation may fit the basics.
Best when you want a checklist before you apply, so you can reduce back-and-forth later.
Best when speed matters and you want to know the difference between a quick response and money actually landing.
