Pricing Comparison

InsuredHQ offers no‑commitment monthly pricing. Plans start at $79/user/month for the core AMS; the AI Assistant is an add‑on at $29/user/month. No long‑term contract is required, which makes it ideal for small agencies or those transitioning from legacy systems.

PolicyPilot takes a transparent, all‑in‑one approach. Pricing begins at $99/user/month and includes onboarding support, all integrations (CRM, carriers), and the full BI suite. No extra fees for automation workflows or API access. For agencies that need Salesforce/HubSpot connectivity, PolicyPilot’s pricing is competitive.

If you want a low‑cost entry point and only need basic AMS with AI help, InsuredHQ is cheaper. But if you value seamless CRM integration and custom workflows with no hidden costs, PolicyPilot delivers better value.

Ease of Use

InsuredHQ boasts a modern, intuitive interface that many users describe as “refreshing” compared to legacy systems. The AI Assistant guides agents through renewals and follow‑ups, reducing training time. Small agencies can go live within a week.

PolicyPilot also features a sleek, drag‑and��drop design. The no‑code workflow builder is surprisingly easy, even for non‑technical staff. However, the depth of customization (dashboards, BI, integrations) may require a steeper initial learning curve. Once set up, daily use is smooth. Overall, InsuredHQ is slightly more straightforward out‑of‑the‑box; PolicyPilot rewards those willing to invest in setup.

Integrations

InsuredHQ integrates directly with major insurance carriers for real‑time quoting and binding, and includes a client portal. Its API is available but not as extensive. CRM integration is limited — it does not natively connect to Salesforce or HubSpot, which could be a dealbreaker for agencies relying on those tools.

PolicyPilot shines here. Its unified API connects with 20+ carriers and seamlessly syncs with popular CRMs like Salesforce and HubSpot. This makes it an excellent InsuredHQ alternative for agencies that need a unified tech stack. It also integrates with marketing automation platforms and accounting software out‑of‑the‑box.

Support

InsuredHQ offers standard support via email and chat, with a knowledge base and video tutorials. Phone support is available during business hours. Users generally report prompt responses, but after‑hours support can be limited.

PolicyPilot includes onboarding support in its transparent pricing — a dedicated success manager during setup. Ongoing support is via live chat, email, and an active community forum. Its ProductHunt traction (Q1 2026) has fostered a responsive support culture. For agencies wanting white‑glove service early on, PolicyPilot has the edge.

Final Verdict

After evaluating both tools across five dimensions, here are the scores (out of 100):

Features: InsuredHQ 87 – PolicyPilot 92
Pricing: InsuredHQ 90 – PolicyPilot 82
Ease of Use: InsuredHQ 94 – PolicyPilot 88
Support: InsuredHQ 80 – PolicyPilot 85
Overall: InsuredHQ 88 – PolicyPilot 89

Winner: PolicyPilot (by one point). The decision comes down to integrations and customization. For agencies that live in Salesforce or HubSpot and need scalable automation, PolicyPilot is the best Insurance software in this comparison. However, if you want a polished, AI‑first system that gets out of your way, InsuredHQ is an excellent (and slightly cheaper) choice. As a PolicyPilot review, we can confidently say it delivers on its ProductHunt promise. Meanwhile, if you’re already on InsuredHQ, the new AI Assistant makes it a compelling 2026 upgrade — but not a leap that dethrones the newcomer.

Final recommendation: Evaluate based on your CRM dependency and need for custom workflows. Both tools are strong contenders in the modern AMS space.
