Key Differences

Why agencies switch from Applied Epic

Modern, intuitive interface

Applied Epic's interface reflects its long history — powerful but complex with steep learning curves. Insurstein is built with a modern UI that new staff can learn in hours, not weeks.

Transparent, predictable pricing

Applied Epic pricing requires a custom quote and typically involves implementation fees, training costs, and per-user licensing scaled for large organizations. Insurstein publishes pricing openly with no hidden fees.

Built-in communications

Insurstein includes a browser-based phone system, SMS messaging, and email — all in one platform. Applied Epic requires third-party integrations for phone and texting capabilities.

Right-sized for independent agencies

Applied Epic is designed for large brokerages and enterprise operations with hundreds of users. Insurstein is purpose-built for independent agencies with 1-50 producers who need power without enterprise overhead.

Who is Applied Epic best for?

Applied Epic is a strong choice for large brokerages and enterprise agencies with 50+ producers who need complex hierarchical structures, deep carrier download integrations via IVANS, and have the IT staff and budget to manage a full enterprise deployment. If your agency has hundreds of users across multiple offices with dedicated training resources, Applied Epic's depth may serve you well.

Who is Insurstein best for?

Insurstein is built for independent P&C agencies with 1-50 producers who want a modern, all-in-one platform. If you write commercial lines, need AI document parsing, want built-in phone and SMS, and prefer transparent pricing without enterprise sales cycles, Insurstein is designed for you.
