Where each one falls short

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

Root Insurance

  • Telematics based pricing is not used in California and Maryland, where the core driving-behavior pricing model does not apply, as of August 2026
  • No base premium is published; quotes require completing a several week app-based test drive before a rate is shown, as of August 2026

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
