LodgeHQ alternatives for Australian migration practices

Disclosure: Immi Flow publishes this comparison and appears in it. Details and prices were checked on 1 October 2026 using vendors' public pages. We did not test competing products or interview their customers. Confirm current terms directly with each vendor.

LodgeHQ covers broad migration-practice work for A$99 per registered agent per month plus GST. Its public site lists case management, a client portal, trust ledger, document extraction, and an ImmiAccount autofill extension. That combination may be exactly what a practice wants.

Other practices may put more weight on evidence review, occupation research, sponsor management, established application automation, team pricing, or multi-country work. Use this guide to plan demos; it does not rank performance.

Alternatives at a glance

Prices do not describe the same bundle. Compare plan, contract term, staff access, setup, storage, and add-ons.

Immi Flow: evidence preparation and review

Immi Flow follows a matter from enquiry through document collection and lodgement readiness. Its public offer includes source-linked findings, written AI consent, practitioner approval, and an exportable matter record. Pricing starts at A$99 per registered agent per month excluding GST, with support staff included.

Put Immi Flow on the shortlist when evidence collection and review take more time than entering forms. During a demo, ask the RMA to trace a finding to its source, correct it, and approve it.

ImmiIQ: research and sponsor portfolios

ImmiIQ combines CRM features with occupation and pathway research. Pro advertises five team seats at A$49 per month billed annually at A$588. ImmiAccount eLodgement costs A$19 per month and Sponsor Portal costs A$29 per month as Pro add-ons; both are included in Enterprise.

This may suit a practice that researches occupations frequently or manages sponsored workers across several employers. Price the exact module combination you need.

Migration Manager: established automation

Migration Manager lists application automation, questionnaires, a client portal, batch VEVO, record keeping, and trust accounting. Public pricing lists A$339 per licence per month on a 12-month term or A$259 on a 24-month term, excluding GST, plus an A$900 setup and training professional fee.

It belongs on the shortlist when a practice values a long-running platform and established application workflows. Ask which application types are automated and how support staff are licensed.

Officio: questionnaires and staged form access

Officio puts client and case management, document management, and questionnaires in its core suite. Client and employer portals appear on Pro. ImmiXpress, VEVO checks, e-signatures, and time billing appear on Ultimate.

The readable public page did not show numeric prices, so obtain a written quote. Have staff run a real questionnaire through the form workflow.

ImmiDesk: staff-based plans

ImmiDesk publishes three monthly plans excluding GST: Starter at A$69 for one staff user, Professional at A$149 for three staff users, and Enterprise at A$599 for unlimited staff. Plans also differ in modules and storage.

Check required modules before comparing a staff-based plan with a per-agent price. Test export, integrations, and the client record left after a matter closes.

Ezymigrate: multi-country practices

Ezymigrate describes immigration CRM workflows covering Australia and other jurisdictions. Its site lists case and document management, communications, and accounting. Standard pricing is available by quote.

Ezymigrate may fit a firm that wants one client and case system across countries. Ask for an Australian matter demonstration and get data-migration scope in writing.

How to choose

Use one recent matter for every demo. Include a dependant, several document types, a changed answer, and one missing item. Ask support staff to prepare it and the responsible practitioner to review it.

Compare missing-work visibility, source traceability, client corrections, ImmiAccount handoff, complete-file export, and full cost for every user and add-on.

LodgeHQ may remain the best fit when breadth and autofill matter most. If evidence preparation is the first problem to solve, try one matter in Immi Flow.
