The short version

  • Each has a real cost: EZLynx pricing is not published; the vendor sets it by user count and by which products an agency takes; Riskonnect total first year cost is dominated by implementation rather than licence; vendor professional services frequently approach the annual licence figure and the internal staff time to define data structures and migrate historic claims is a comparable third cost that never appears in the quote.
  • They diverge on capability: EZLynx covers Comparative rating, Riskonnect covers Claims administration.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

EZLynx

  • Pricing is not published; the vendor sets it by user count and by which products an agency takes
  • Sold as separate pieces, the management system, the comparative rater and agency websites, so a full stack is several purchases
  • Built for independent insurance agencies rather than carriers or brokers in other lines

Riskonnect

  • Total first year cost is dominated by implementation rather than licence; vendor professional services frequently approach the annual licence figure and the internal staff time to define data structures and migrate historic claims is a comparable third cost that never appears in the quote.
  • The platform grew through acquisitions including Ventiv and Sword GRC, so module interfaces and administration models are not uniform and staff trained on one module do not transfer cleanly to another.
  • Licensing is modular, so the price quoted for a claims deployment rises materially the first time the risk team wants ERM or business continuity, and there is little negotiating leverage once the claims data is migrated.
  • Configuration depth means most changes go through an administrator or the vendor rather than an end user, and risk teams without a dedicated system administrator find that change requests queue for weeks.
  • Historic claims data migration quality depends entirely on what the outgoing broker or TPA will export, and incomplete legacy data undermines the multi year trend reporting that was the reason for buying.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

EZLynx: How is EZLynx pricing structured?

EZLynx uses user-based pricing where costs depend on how many users the agency has. Pricing is tailored to the exact products and features needed, with no single flat rate. Network members usually receive discounts through their membership.

Source
Riskonnect: What does Riskonnect actually cost?

Nothing is published. Reported deals range from roughly 35,000 US dollars a year for a narrow deployment to well over 250,000 for a multi module enterprise programme, with implementation services quoted separately and often of similar magnitude in year one.

EZLynx: Does EZLynx publish pricing on its website?

No. EZLynx does not publish specific pricing amounts. The company emphasizes total cost of ownership and directs prospects to contact sales for a price tailored to their agency's needs.

Source
Riskonnect: How long does implementation take?

Three to six months is typical for a claims and RMIS deployment, longer where historic loss data from several brokers or TPAs has to be normalised.

EZLynx: Does EZLynx offer a free trial?

Yes. EZLynx offers a free trial, though the specific trial duration is not stated on its pricing page.

Source
Riskonnect: Why not just use the broker supplied RMIS?

Because you lose it when you change broker, and the data model serves the broker reporting rather than yours. Owning the system is the main reason companies pay for one.

Riskonnect: Is it a GRC platform or a claims system?

Both, but the claims and insurable risk core is the mature part. If you want pure GRC without claims, you are buying more platform than you need.
