What 1, 3 and 5 users cost per month
The table picks the cheapest published plan that covers each team size. For NowCerts that means a bundled plan plus $54 for each user beyond the plan’s allowance. HawkSoft is $99 for each concurrent user. Setup, conversion and add-ons are not included. NowCerts’ higher plans include more file storage and more onboarding and training, so the cheapest plan for your headcount isn’t always the one you’d pick.

CRMs that sit on top of an AMS
InsuredMine and AgencyZoom are sales and retention CRMs. They connect to an AMS for policy and client data, so most agencies pay for one of them on top of a management system such as HawkSoft, NowCerts, EZLynx or AMS360. AgencyZoom says so on its own pricing page: it “acts as an extension to your AMS”. InsuredMine’s lowest rate requires annual billing.

What the monthly price leaves out
- Setup and conversion. HawkSoft charges a one-time setup fee that includes training, priced by user count, and a flat conversion fee per database; neither amount is published (source). InsuredMine adds setup and implementation fees where they apply (source).
- Add-ons. HawkSoft lists E-Signature at $39 per license, Self-Service Certificates at $49 per agency and hourly services at $150 an hour (source). NowCerts bills two-way texting through Twilio or RingCentral at extra cost (source). InsuredMine charges $10 a month for each extra 1,000 texts or 10,000 emails.
- Integrations. AgencyZoom says some AMS integrations may cost extra (source). InsuredMine’s $1 trial leaves out the AMS connection.
- A comparative rater. None of the systems with published prices includes one in the base price. EZLynx bundles its own rater with its management system; HawkSoft sends client data into the rater you choose (source). NowCerts’ parent Momentum sells Momentum Rate separately, from $100 a month for two users, and says it quotes 65+ auto and 35+ home carriers for personal lines (source).
Systems that don’t publish prices
EZLynx says its price depends on your number of users and the products you choose, and that agency network members may get a discount (source). Our EZLynx pricing guide covers the reported figures and the questions to ask. QQCatalyst, Vertafore’s system for smaller agencies, has no public price. The larger systems, Applied Epic and Vertafore AMS360, are also quoted by sales.

FAQs
How much does an agency management system cost?
Among systems that publish prices, a one-user agency pays from $99 a month on HawkSoft or $119 on NowCerts' Essentials plan (now sold as Momentum AMS). A five-user agency pays from $335 a month on NowCerts (the Essentials plan plus four $54 seats) or about $495 on HawkSoft at $99 per user, before setup fees and add-ons. Enterprise systems such as Applied Epic and AMS360 are priced by quote.
Which agency management systems publish their prices?
HawkSoft and NowCerts (Momentum AMS) publish full AMS pricing. InsuredMine and AgencyZoom publish prices too, but both are CRMs that connect to an AMS rather than replace one. EZLynx, QQCatalyst, Applied Epic and Vertafore AMS360 are quoted by sales.
Is HawkSoft or NowCerts cheaper?
For one user HawkSoft is cheaper: $99 a month against $119 for NowCerts' Essentials plan. From two users NowCerts is cheaper, because each extra NowCerts seat is $54 while HawkSoft charges $99 for each concurrent user. HawkSoft counts concurrent users, so part-time staff who rarely log in at the same time may not need their own seat.
What fees are not included in the monthly AMS price?
Setup, data conversion and training are usually extra. HawkSoft charges one-time setup and per-database conversion fees, InsuredMine adds setup and implementation fees where applicable, and NowCerts bills two-way texting through Twilio or RingCentral. Ask every vendor for these in writing with the quote.
How much does EZLynx cost per month?
EZLynx doesn't publish pricing. One agent reported being quoted about $350 a month for one user in 2023, and a third-party breakdown estimates about $129 a month for the Rating Engine alone. See our EZLynx pricing guide for what drives the number.
