OneBookPlus vs BrokerEngine
The complete broker platform
BrokerEngine is a powerful deal CRM — but it's only a deal CRM. OneBookPlus gives Australian mortgage brokers pipeline management, compliance, invoicing, calculators, bookings, and marketing in one affordable platform.
Key takeaways
5- BrokerEngine is AUD-billed from $149/mo to $399/mo for deal management alone — and a typical Australian broker stack adds Xero (~$35+/mo), Calendly (~$12+/mo), and Mailchimp (~$13+/mo), pushing total spend to $209–$459+/mo.
- OneBookPlus is AUD-billed from $0/mo Free (10 invoices/mo, 250 contacts), $29/mo Starter (or $24/mo annual), or $69/mo Growth (or $58/mo annual) — bundling deals, invoicing, calculators, bookings, and accounting in one subscription.

- BrokerEngine genuinely wins on aggregator workflow depth and lender automation today — areas where OneBookPlus has manual deal/commission tracking and direct Connective, AFG, PLAN and Loan Market integrations still on the roadmap.
- OneBookPlus wins on NCCP Act 2009, Best Interests Duty (in force since 1 January 2021) and ASIC RG 273 documentation in the deal pipeline, plus client-facing loan calculators and an online booking page BrokerEngine doesn't offer.
- The consolidation case is a potential $2,000+ per year saving for a solo broker by replacing BrokerEngine plus Xero, Calendly and Mailchimp with a single AUD-billed OneBookPlus subscription.

Where BrokerEngine wins
Credit where it’s due
BrokerEngine is built by brokers, for brokers, around one job: moving a home-loan deal from enquiry to settlement with as few keystrokes as possible. That focus is real. Its loan-process workflow automates the repetitive parts of a mortgage file — lender notes, task chains, and status-driven checklists — and its aggregator integrations connect into the broking platforms a deal actually runs on. If your day is dominated by deal throughput and your processing team lives inside that loan-application workflow, BrokerEngine’s specialism is deeper than ours, and that depth is worth paying for.
Where OneBookPlus wins
Three differences that compound
The whole business, not just the loan file. BrokerEngine handles the deal; you still run Xero for broker-fee invoicing and BAS, Calendly for client bookings, and Mailchimp for nurture. OneBookPlus bundles GST-native fee invoicing, P&L and balance-sheet accounting, BAS-ready GST reports, Australian CDR bank feeds, an online booking page, and email marketing into one subscription — the point-tool stack BrokerEngine’s features page expects you to assemble yourself.
Client-facing tools that generate leads. BrokerEngine is an internal workflow engine — we found no client-facing repayment, borrowing-power, stamp-duty, or refinance calculators, and no public booking page, on its features page. OneBookPlus ships branded, shareable loan calculators and a booking page that capture a prospect’s details straight into your CRM as a warm lead, turning compliance-grade tooling into a front-of-funnel asset.
Australian tax-native, and a free tier to start. Trail and upfront commission flow straight into BAS-ready GST figures and your P&L, so your accountant gets clean numbers without a Xero round-trip. And where BrokerEngine’s pricing page starts at A$149/month for the Solo tier and scales to A$399/month for the Team tier, OneBookPlus starts free — a solo broker can consolidate BrokerEngine plus Xero, Calendly and Mailchimp into one AUD-billed subscription for a potential $2,000+ a year saving.
Why switch
Why Australian brokers are switching from BrokerEngine to OneBookPlus
Save $150+/month on software
BrokerEngine charges $149-399/month for deal management alone. Add Xero ($35+/mo), Calendly ($12+/mo), and Mailchimp ($13+/mo) and you're spending $209-459+/month. OneBookPlus includes everything from $0-69/month.
One platform, not five
Stop switching between BrokerEngine for deals, Xero for invoicing, Calendly for bookings, and Mailchimp for marketing. OneBookPlus connects your entire broking business in a single platform with shared data and no double-entry.
Invoicing & accounting built in
BrokerEngine doesn't handle invoicing. With OneBookPlus, send GST-compliant invoices for broker fees, track commission payments, generate fee proposals, and run profit & loss reports — without paying for a separate accounting tool.
Shareable loan calculators
Give prospects branded repayment, borrowing power, stamp duty, and refinance calculators they can use before their first meeting. BrokerEngine doesn't offer client-facing calculators — OneBookPlus makes them a lead generation tool.
FAQ
OneBookPlus vs BrokerEngine — your questions answered
Is OneBookPlus better than BrokerEngine for mortgage brokers?
For brokers who want more than just deal management, yes. BrokerEngine is a solid workflow-focused CRM, but it only handles the deal pipeline and compliance side of your business. You still need Xero for invoicing, Calendly for bookings, and other tools for marketing — each with their own monthly fee. OneBookPlus includes deal pipeline, trail tracking, BID compliance, invoicing, booking pages, loan calculators, and email marketing in one platform starting from $0/month. If you need deep aggregator integrations and automated lender workflows, BrokerEngine may still be the better fit. But for most brokers, OneBookPlus gives you more tools at a fraction of the cost.
Can OneBookPlus replace BrokerEngine for my brokerage?
Yes. OneBookPlus handles all the core features brokers use BrokerEngine for: deal pipeline management, trail book tracking, BID compliance documentation, CRM, and referral tracking. Plus you get invoicing, online bookings, loan calculators, email marketing, and accounting included — features that would require separate subscriptions alongside BrokerEngine. Many Australian brokers have consolidated from BrokerEngine plus 3-4 other tools down to just OneBookPlus.
How much does BrokerEngine cost compared to OneBookPlus?
BrokerEngine's plans range from $149/month (Solo) to $399/month (Team) depending on broker count and features. On top of that, you'll need Xero or MYOB for invoicing ($35+/mo), Calendly for bookings ($12+/mo), and potentially Mailchimp for client marketing ($13+/mo). That adds up to $209-459+/month. OneBookPlus starts free and includes everything — deal pipeline, compliance, invoicing, bookings, calculators, and marketing — for $0-69/month. That's a potential saving of over $2,000 per year.
Does OneBookPlus integrate with aggregators like BrokerEngine does?
Not yet — aggregator integration is on our roadmap. BrokerEngine has deeper aggregator integrations today, which is one area where it currently leads. However, OneBookPlus lets you manually track deals and commissions from any aggregator, and we're actively building direct integrations with Connective, AFG, PLAN, and Loan Market. For many brokers, the savings from consolidating their other tools into OneBookPlus more than compensates while we build these integrations.
What is the best BrokerEngine alternative in Australia?
OneBookPlus is the best BrokerEngine alternative for Australian mortgage brokers who want a complete business platform, not just a deal CRM. While BrokerEngine focuses on loan-process workflow automation and deal tracking, OneBookPlus gives you deal pipeline, trail tracking, BID compliance, invoicing, online bookings, shareable loan calculators, email marketing, and accounting — all built for Australian brokers. It's also significantly more affordable, with a free plan available and paid plans starting at $29/month compared to BrokerEngine's $149/month entry point.
Does OneBookPlus replace Xero for broker-fee invoicing and BAS?
Yes. BrokerEngine is a deal CRM with no native invoicing or accounting, so brokers run Xero or MYOB alongside it for fee invoices and BAS. OneBookPlus includes GST-native broker-fee invoicing with ABN validation, profit-and-loss and balance-sheet reporting, Australian CDR bank feeds with AI categorisation, and BAS-ready GST figures generated automatically from your invoices and commission income. Upfront and trail commission flow straight into those reports, so your accountant gets clean numbers without exporting to a second system.
Will I lose loan-process workflow depth by leaving BrokerEngine?
Be honest with yourself here. BrokerEngine's loan-process workflow and aggregator integrations are deeper than OneBookPlus today — that's its single focus and its genuine strength. OneBookPlus gives you a kanban deal pipeline with BID/NCCP compliance documents, referral tracking, and trail-book reconciliation, plus manual deal and commission entry from any aggregator while direct Connective, AFG, PLAN, and Loan Market integrations are on our roadmap. If automated lender workflows are the most-clicked part of your day, BrokerEngine may still be the better fit. If you want the whole business — deals, invoicing, bookings, marketing, and accounting — in one platform, OneBookPlus wins on breadth and cost.
How OneBookPlus Works for Mortgage Brokers
Most mortgage brokers using BrokerEngine still juggle Xero for invoicing, Calendly for bookings, Mailchimp for email marketing, and maybe a spreadsheet for tracking trail income. That's four or five subscriptions, four different logins, and data that never quite syncs between them. OneBookPlus brings your entire broking business into a single platform — deals, compliance, invoicing, bookings, marketing, and accounting — so everything connects and nothing falls through the cracks.
When a deal settles in OneBookPlus, the commission invoice generates automatically, trail payments are tracked against your book, and the client enters your post-settlement nurture sequence — all without touching a second tool.
Feature Deep Dive
Deal pipeline with compliance: Manage every deal from enquiry to settlement on a visual kanban board. Attach BID compliance documents, track referral sources, log client communications, and move deals through custom stages. Unlike BrokerEngine, the pipeline connects directly to your invoicing and accounting — when a deal settles, the fee invoice is one click away.
Trail book & commission tracking: Import trail statements, reconcile payments against your book, and spot discrepancies before they cost you money. OneBookPlus tracks upfront and trailing commissions by lender, aggregator, and referrer — and feeds the numbers directly into your P&L reports and BAS summaries so your accountant gets clean data.
Shareable loan calculators: Give prospects branded repayment, borrowing power, stamp duty, and refinance calculators they can use before their first meeting. Each calculator captures the prospect's details and feeds them into your CRM as a warm lead. BrokerEngine doesn't offer client-facing tools like this — it's focused purely on internal workflow.
Who Should Switch
OneBookPlus is the right fit if you're a solo broker or small brokerage paying $149–399/month for BrokerEngine plus separate subscriptions for Xero, Calendly, and Mailchimp. It's also ideal if you want client-facing tools like loan calculators and an online booking page to generate leads — features BrokerEngine doesn't provide. If you don't need deep aggregator API integrations today, the savings from consolidating your entire toolkit into OneBookPlus are substantial.
When BrokerEngine might still be the better fit:
If you run a high-volume brokerage where the loan-process workflow is the most-clicked screen of the day — a processing team living inside automated lender task-chains, serviceability checklists, and tight aggregator integrations with Connective, AFG, PLAN or Loan Market — BrokerEngine's deal-throughput specialism is deeper than OneBookPlus today. Our direct aggregator sync is on the roadmap; until it lands, a deal-volume-driven brokerage keeps real value from BrokerEngine's automation.
Migration guide
How to switch from BrokerEngine to OneBookPlus
Export your contacts and active deals
In BrokerEngine, export your client list and open-deal data to CSV. Import it into OneBookPlus — names, emails, phones, referral sources, and deal stages map across into your CRM and kanban pipeline. Keep your BrokerEngine login active as a read-only archive of historical loan files for as long as you need.
Set up trail tracking, fee invoicing, and compliance
Configure your deal pipeline stages, attach your BID/NCCP compliance templates, and set your ABN, GST preferences, and broker-fee invoice terms. Import recent trail and upfront commission statements and connect a CDR bank feed so commission income reconciles automatically and flows into your BAS-ready GST figures — the work you previously did in Xero.
Publish calculators and bookings, retire the extra tools
Publish your branded loan calculators and online booking page, set up a post-settlement email nurture sequence, and start running new deals in OneBookPlus. Once a full pipeline cycle runs cleanly, cancel Calendly and Mailchimp, drop Xero, and — if you no longer need its aggregator workflows — wind down BrokerEngine.
