The short version

  • Only PolicyGenius has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: AgencyBloc sold as four separate modules, AMS+, Engage+, Quote+ and Commissions+, so a full workflow means licensing several; PolicyGenius pricing is quote only; the site states the final insurance policy premium for any policy is determined by the underwriting insurance company following application, with no rates published on site.
  • They diverge on capability: AgencyBloc covers CRM & contact management, PolicyGenius covers Quote comparison.
