Comparison
ImmiIQ vs Migration Manager
Established practice-management software for Registered Migration Agents (still widely known as MARA agents) and law firms
The honest take
ImmiIQ is the modern, AI-first Australian migration practice platform - Harper AI consultant, 9-language client portal, EOI Backlog Dashboard, Course Pathway Finder, ANZSCO ↔ OSCA correspondence and transparent published pricing, all browser-native. Migration Manager is a long-established practice-management suite. Here's how the platforms compare.
ImmiIQ delivers the same workflow density established practice tools have - modernised. Browser-native, AI-augmented, with Harper drafting alongside.
