HOW THEY DIFFER

The short version.

On our benchmark Lofty takes the higher Index Score (79 to 76) — but that headline hides where each one really pulls ahead.

Channel coverage is a wash: both cover 5 of the 6 channels we track.

On price, Lofty starts lower — Custom against Custom — though the cheaper sticker isn't always the better deal once you factor in what each one includes for the money.

So CINC suits team/brokerage teams; Lofty leans toward team/brokerage.
