Comparison
ImmiIQ vs LodgeHQ
Modern AI-first migration case-management platform
The honest take
ImmiIQ and LodgeHQ are both modern, AI-first Australian migration platforms. Where ImmiIQ pulls ahead is research depth and tenant security: Harper grounded in 27+ official government sources with citations, the official ANZSCO ↔ OSCA correspondence on every occupation page, a 44,000-record EOI Backlog Dashboard, the Course Pathway Finder, plus per-organisation encryption and 3-axis per-member access control. Here's where ImmiIQ leads, and where the two are at parity.
ImmiIQ delivers the same AI-first case workflow LodgeHQ does - then adds government-grounded research depth and per-tenant encryption on top.
