NowCerts is an agency management system first, but it covers enough of the CRM job that many small agencies can skip a separate tool. Every plan includes client and policy management, document storage, ACORD forms, custom workflows, sales pipeline management, a renewal center, an agency dashboard, interactive reports, billing and accounting, commission reconciliations and an insured portal. Essentials costs $99 per month with 1 user, Professional $169 with 2 users and Business $349 with 5 users, and any extra user license is $45. The add-ons are where costs creep in: IVANS carrier downloads are $35 extra on the lower plans and two-way texting runs through Twilio at additional cost. Training on Essentials is self-serve through NowCerts University, while higher plans add onboarding and a dedicated account manager. The sales tools are lighter than AgencyZoom, but the price of a full AMS plus pipeline is hard to beat.
