An honest look at the insurance distribution management landscape. We lead with Turris because it's ours, but we'll tell you where every competitor does well and where they come up short.
Last updated: February 2026
The research, data gathering, and initial drafting of this page were done with the help of AI. Some details may be out of date, incomplete, or not publicly available, and we welcome corrections from any company listed here.
We feel strongly about limiting AI's role in commentary and subject matter expertise, especially in highly regulated industries like insurance. This is especially true when giving advice on compliance workflows where getting things wrong has real consequences. But for an objective vendor comparison like this one, where the work is mostly research, structuring public data, and presenting facts side by side, we felt comfortable using AI more heavily than we typically would.
Before you start comparing vendors, it helps to know what you should be looking for. Here's what we think the bar should look like in 2026.
Self-service portals with NIPR auto-population, e-signatures, document collection, background checks, and contracting automation. Emailing data back and forth to onboard agents is a sign the tool is falling short. Bulk import and customizable workflows should be standard.
Real-time license verification across all 50 states, LOA tracking, proactive renewal alerts, automated appointment filing, JIT appointments, and termination management. Your compliance team should be spending their time on judgment calls, not data entry.
Configurable compliance rules, automated regulatory change tracking, expiration monitoring, CE credit tracking, and a full audit trail. Your compliance process shouldn't depend on someone remembering to check a spreadsheet on a certain day.
Dashboards you can actually customize, producer performance metrics, compliance risk scoring, exportable reports, and executive-level visibility. You need to be able to see distribution health in real time, not wait for someone to pull a report.
Just an API is no longer enough. The platform needs to support both API-based integrations for modern systems and agentic data ingestion for legacy environments where no API exists. Most carriers and MGAs are migrating off decades-old systems, spreadsheets, or BPO providers.
If it's in the web app, it should be in the API. Webhooks, CRM integration, AMS connectivity, and the ability to build workflows on top. If a vendor locks you into their UI with no programmatic access, that's a problem you'll feel at scale.
Commission management, surplus lines compliance, premium finance, corporate registrations, continuing education. These should be available as modules in the same platform. Buying five different point solutions from five different vendors and trying to make them talk to each other is a recipe for ops headaches and wasted budget.
There's a difference between moving data faster and actually catching things humans miss. Regulatory changes, compliance gaps, anomalous patterns, risk signals. A good platform should surface the problems you didn't know to look for.
Ask who the compliance person is. Not the product manager or AE who "understands compliance" but the actual lawyer or compliance expert on staff, and how much time they've spent operating in the insurance space. A platform built by engineers alone will automate the wrong things. Multi-state regulatory nuance, carrier appointment workflows, the real consequences of getting compliance wrong: this stuff matters, and the vendor should be able to tell you exactly who on their team owns it.
If a platform only handles one piece of the problem (license tracking but not commission management, or onboarding but not analytics), you'll end up managing multiple vendors, multiple logins, and multiple invoices. Look for a platform that consolidates these workflows, lets you adopt modules at your own pace, and has people behind the software who have actually worked in insurance operations for decades.
Positioning: We built Turris because we ran MGAs and wished this tool existed. AI-native distribution management and compliance, designed by people who've actually operated insurance back offices. Think Rippling, but for insurance ops.
Free platform access for agencies. Flexible minimums for startups and MGAs. Volume discounts for large enterprise carriers and when you bundle multiple modules. On average, we're over 40% less expensive than incumbent alternatives. We price on outcome or transaction versus an arbitrary subscription or seat model.
Carriers, MGAs, and agencies that want one platform for distribution management, internal licensing, surplus lines, and corporate registrations, and don't want to manage a patchwork of point solutions or stay dependent on a BPO.
Every vendor in this space will tell you they do "producer management." This table breaks down what that actually means for each of them, feature by feature.

Click each competitor to expand their full profile. Listed alphabetically.
Key context: ACCEL Compliance is a hybrid: a managed compliance services firm that built its own software (GreenLight®) around its service operations. Their compliance analysts use the same tools they offer clients, which means the software is shaped by real daily workflows rather than product roadmaps. They also operate ACCEL Law Group, giving them a legal angle most competitors don't have. Less manual than a pure BPO, but still services-led.
Subscription access combined with activity-based fees. Not publicly available. Custom quotes based on usage intensity.
Mid-size agencies and brokers who want software-supported compliance management with expert humans behind it — especially if surplus lines is a significant part of the business. Less suited for carriers or organizations that need appointment automation and full distribution management.
Key context: Focused specifically on agency-level compliance monitoring, with a well-regarded mobile app. Narrower in scope than full distribution management platforms, but a solid option if compliance tracking is your primary gap.
Not publicly available. Likely a low price point given the target market.
Very small agencies that only need basic license monitoring and don't expect to outgrow it.
Key context: The most well-funded pure-play in this space, built entirely on Salesforce. That's great if you're a Salesforce shop, but it means platform lock-in and added licensing cost. Worth noting: they've had recent executive departures (including a co-founder) and new PE owners.
No public pricing, but understood to be one of the most expensive options next to Sircon
Salesforce-heavy organizations that want native CRM integration and need a vendor with established brand recognition for procurement. Scope is limited to distribution management and producer compliance.
Key context: Producer Flow is owned by Agentero, which operates an agency network. If you're a carrier or MGA, that means your producer data lives on a tool owned by a company that is competing with those other producers. Make sure your other agencies and agency networks are ok with this.
Not publicly available. Sales conversation required. Claimed to be 30% less than other options.
Organizations that only need basic producer onboarding and license monitoring and aren't concerned about Agentero having access to producer data from all agency partners.
Key context: RegEd is really a compliance education and CE management company. They have producer licensing capabilities, but distribution management isn't their core product. They also cover securities (FINRA/SEC), which is unusual in this space.
Not publicly available. Enterprise sales only.
Organizations where CE management and regulatory training are the primary need, especially if you also have securities compliance requirements. Less suited if distribution management is what you're actually trying to solve.
Key context: Resource Pro isn't software. They're a BPO firm. They give you outsourced teams who do insurance operations work manually. This is a fundamentally different comparison: platform vs. service provider.
FTE-based or per-deliverable. Custom quotes.
Organizations with zero internal ops capacity that need someone else to do the work entirely, with no near-term plan to bring operations in-house or adopt technology.
Key context: Rhoads was acquired in mid-2025 and folded into the Auctivo GRC platform. They have nearly 50 years of regulatory expertise, but the merger introduces real questions about product direction, support continuity, and where investment goes next.
Not publicly available. Enterprise/custom quotes.
Existing Rhoads customers who want continuity, or large carriers that need a hybrid tech + managed services approach and are comfortable with merger-related transition risk.
Key context: Saratoga was formed in late 2025 when PE firms Haven Capital Partners and Altaline Capital combined 3H Compliance Group (3HCG) and National Licensing Compliance Group (NLCG) into a single entity. They have their own software platform (Creative Compliance Hub) and a full managed services operation. The PE backing signals an intent to invest in technology and AI, but the platform today is services-led with software support.
Not publicly available. Managed services engagement with custom quotes.
Agencies and brokers looking for a managed compliance partner with real depth in entity management, surplus lines, and corporate registrations. Especially strong if you need someone to handle the operational complexity of multi-state licensing at scale. Less suited if you need a self-service platform, appointment automation, or carrier-side tools.
Key context: Sircon is the incumbent. Most large carriers run it today. It works, but it's widely criticized for poor support, dated UX, and slow innovation. It's owned by Vertafore, which is owned by Roper Technologies. A lot of the organizations we talk to are specifically looking to leave Sircon.
Not publicly disclosed. Enterprise sales only.
Generally perceived as expensive, with significant implementation costs on top of licensing fees.
Very large carriers (50K+ NPNs) deeply invested in the Vertafore ecosystem who don't want to migrate, or where compliance team familiarity with Sircon outweighs the desire for better tools.
Key context: Vymo started as a sales engagement platform and added compliance/onboarding (OnboardIQ) as a module. Their real strength is AI-driven sales productivity: next-best-action recommendations, activity tracking, producer performance analytics. Distribution management is the add-on, not the core product.
Starting at $50/month (entry tier); enterprise pricing is custom
Modular: OnboardIQ and EngageIQ available separately or bundled
Large carriers and distribution organizations (FMOs, IMOs) that want sales productivity tools alongside basic compliance. If your primary need is deep regulatory compliance and distribution management, Vymo's compliance module may feel like a secondary feature, because it is.
Most insurance organizations we talk to are running 4-6 different tools (or BPOs) for distribution management, internal licensing, surplus lines, corporate registrations, and compliance monitoring. Each one has its own data silo, its own login, and its own invoice.
We're building one platform for all of it. Start with the module you need most and expand from there. Everything shares the same data, the same API, and the same architecture.
Three things. First, we're AI-native, meaning we can actually automate a lot of what other tools cannot, but still do so with expert human-in-the-loop. Second, we cover distribution management, internal licensing, surplus lines, and corporate registrations in one platform, so you're not stitching together three vendors. Third, we can migrate your data from any system, even ones with no API. We've pulled data out of legacy portals that other vendors told customers were impossible.
Yes. We can pull your data from Sircon, AgentSync, spreadsheets, or manual systems with no API. Most migrations finish in weeks. We've done this enough times that the process is well understood.
No. Turris runs on its own stack with no external platform dependencies. Full REST API and web application. You don't need to buy another license to use ours.
Yes, and it's one of the most overlooked things in vendor evaluation. Insurance licensing and compliance isn't something you can learn from a product management bootcamp. The difference between a vendor that employs actual compliance professionals — people who've filed licenses, managed appointments, navigated state-specific regulatory quirks — and one that just built software around a spec is enormous. When an edge case comes up (and they always do), you want someone on the other end who's seen it before, not someone reading the same NAIC bulletin you are. At Turris, compliance expertise is embedded in how we build, not just how we sell. We think that matters, especially when regulators are involved.
We're earlier stage and have been focused on building the product and earning customers. Our G2 and Capterra presence is growing. In the meantime, we'll connect you directly with current customers who can speak to their experience.
AgentSync has strong brand recognition, $164M+ in funding, and a real customer base with solid G2 reviews. If you're already a Salesforce shop, the native integration can be genuinely useful. That said, you're paying for Salesforce licensing on top of what's already understood to be one of the most expensive options in the space. They also have new PE ownership, recent executive turnover, and limitations around API access and appointment automation. If budget is a factor or you don't run Salesforce, there are more cost-effective options that don't require platform lock-in.
Yes. Producer Flow is a product of Agentero, which operates an agency network. You can verify this publicly, though you won't find it mentioned in their marketing. If you're a carrier or MGA, it's worth thinking about whether you want your producer data on a platform owned by a company that also operates as a distribution channel.
For very small agencies that only need basic license monitoring, it could work. They have a nice mobile app (Apple Watch support, which is unique) and AI document recognition. But they appear to be unfunded, there are no enterprise proof points we could find, and they lack appointment management, surplus lines, and integrations. If you plan to grow, you'll probably outgrow Agenzee.
RegEd is really a compliance education and CE management company that also does some producer licensing. Their training content library is extensive and they uniquely cover both insurance and securities (FINRA/SEC). But if your actual need is producer onboarding, appointment automation, and distribution management, you're looking at a secondary feature in their platform, not their core focus.
Resource Pro gives you outsourced people who do the work manually. The tradeoff: costs scale linearly (more work = more people), you have no real-time visibility, and your institutional knowledge lives with a third party. BPO makes sense if you have zero ops capacity and no plans to change that. A platform gives you control.
Both are services-led, but ACCEL built its own software (GreenLight) that their compliance analysts use every day. That means you get a real platform with dashboards, reporting, and API integrations — not just outsourced people working in spreadsheets. They're also strong on surplus lines with their BlueBack library and tax calculator. The tradeoff: they're a small team (27 people), agency/broker focused, and don't do appointment management. If you need a compliance services partner with actual software behind it and surplus lines is a big part of your business, ACCEL is worth a look. If you need carrier-side distribution management or appointment automation, they're not the right fit.
Rhoads was acquired by Equality Asset Management in mid-2025 and is being folded into the Auctivo GRC platform. They have nearly 50 years of licensing expertise, but the merger means the product roadmap, support structure, and team are all in transition. If you're an existing customer, it's worth getting clarity on the integration plan. If you're evaluating new platforms, mergers like this typically mean slower innovation and support disruptions in the near term.
Saratoga was formed in late 2025 when PE firms combined 3H Compliance Group (3HCG) and National Licensing Compliance Group (NLCG) into one entity. They bring 20+ years of compliance services experience, their own software (Creative Compliance Hub), and strong entity management and corporate registration capabilities. They're a solid option if you're an agency or broker looking for a managed services partner who also gives you a dashboard and reporting. The PE backing suggests more investment in technology is coming, but right now the platform is services-first. If you need appointment automation, carrier-side distribution management, or API integrations, they're not the right fit.
Sircon has the deepest feature set and the largest carrier install base, built over 30+ years. If you're already running it and deeply invested in the Vertafore ecosystem, migrating has real cost. That said, most of the organizations we talk to are evaluating alternatives specifically because of Sircon's dated UX, poor customer support, legacy APIs, and months-long implementations. We can migrate your data from Sircon using agentic migration (no API dependency) and it typically takes days, not months.
Vymo is a sales engagement platform that added compliance as a module. Their strengths are in producer performance analytics, next-best-action AI, and mobile activity tracking. The OnboardIQ module does handle NIPR integration, JIT appointments, and licensing, but compliance is the add-on, not the core product. If you want sales productivity tools with some compliance built in, Vymo makes sense. If distribution management and deep regulatory compliance are what you're solving for, you'll want something purpose-built.
