Who should pick which
- Pick AuthorityAlerts if you work more than new applications: insurance cancellations, renewal windows and reinstatements are among the "ten event stages" it lists. It may also suit you if your team wants a built-in call log, filing-agent phone flags, or an API and webhooks (Elite plan). Its site says founding accounts get "30% off for life — through 2026-10-31" [authorityalerts.com/pricing, as of Oct 16, 2026].
- Pick CarrierDaily if you want every state on a $79/mo plan, delivered as a CSV email around 8 AM MT on business days, with each new application flagged by whether insurance is on file on the day it's published.
