The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Duck Creek pricing is not published; sold by quote through a sales process; InsurancePro commercial lines handling is thin next to Applied Epic or AMS360, so an agency that grows into mid-market commercial accounts will usually have to migrate rather than upgrade, and agency management migrations routinely take six months and lose historic activity notes.
  • They diverge on capability: Duck Creek covers Policy administration, InsurancePro covers Policy and client records.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Duck Creek

  • Pricing is not published; sold by quote through a sales process
  • Cloud-only deployment; no on-premises option

InsurancePro

  • Commercial lines handling is thin next to Applied Epic or AMS360, so an agency that grows into mid-market commercial accounts will usually have to migrate rather than upgrade, and agency management migrations routinely take six months and lose historic activity notes.
  • TurboRater is a separate purchase, so the integration that is the main reason to buy InsurancePro is only available if you pay for both products, which changes the total cost comparison against systems that include no rater at all.
  • Pricing is not published anywhere, so agencies cannot benchmark before entering a sales conversation and the quote varies with agency size and negotiation.
  • Since the Zywave acquisition the product sits inside a portfolio whose strategic focus is benefits and commercial content, which raises a real question about how much engineering investment a small personal lines AMS will attract over the next few years.
  • Carrier download coverage depends on IVANS connections that the agency must arrange with each carrier, so a new agency can spend weeks chasing download authorisations before the automation the system promises actually works.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Duck Creek: How does Duck Creek pricing work?

Duck Creek does not publicly disclose specific pricing plans, costs, or tiers. The company directs interested parties to contact their sales team directly, as solutions are customized for individual clients.

Source
InsurancePro: Is InsurancePro still sold under its own name?

Yes. It is now a Zywave product, sold on the TurboRater site as InsurancePro, but it retains its own name and its own product page.

Duck Creek: What Duck Creek products require pricing discussions?

Duck Creek's Intelligent Core platform (Policy, Rating, Billing, Claims) and Agentic AI Platform pricing depends on factors such as company size, deployment model (cloud vs. on-premise), implementation scope, and specific modules required.

Source
InsurancePro: Do I need TurboRater to use InsurancePro?

No, but without it you lose the quote-to-management data flow that is the main commercial argument for choosing this system over a rival.

Duck Creek: How do I get a quote from Duck Creek?

Duck Creek directs prospects to contact their sales team through a 'Talk with an Expert' button or the contact form at their website. They require direct sales engagement for pricing discussions.

Source
InsurancePro: Can it handle commercial lines?

It can record commercial policies and produce commercial ACORD forms, but agencies writing substantial commercial books generally find the workflow and reporting insufficient.

InsurancePro: What does it cost?

Zywave does not publish pricing. Expect a quote based on agency headcount and modules, with rating licensed separately.
