Compare
Applied Epic is a powerful system with deep carrier integrations. But if you're tired of a dated interface, expensive add-ons, and missing AI capabilities, there's a modern path forward.
Applied Epic, built by Applied Systems, has been an industry mainstay for decades. It handles policy management, claims tracking, and carrier downloads well. Many large agencies rely on it daily. That track record deserves respect.
But the insurance technology landscape has changed dramatically. Agencies now expect AI-powered automation, intuitive modern interfaces, and transparent pricing without surprise charges. Applied Epic's core architecture dates back to the early 2000s, and it shows in the user experience. Features like comparative rating, e-signatures, and advanced analytics require separate paid add-ons, driving total cost of ownership well above the list price.
PrizMova was built from the ground up in 2024 as an all-in-one insurance AMS with AI at its core. Thirteen integrated modules replace the patchwork of Applied Epic plus add-ons plus third-party tools. Our AI copilot, ARIA, doesn't bolt onto an old system. It's woven into every workflow, from email triage to renewal prediction to coverage gap analysis.
If you're considering your options, here's an honest side-by-side look at how PrizMova compares to Applied Epic across the features that matter most.

Key Differentiators
Applied Epic has no built-in AI assistant. PrizMova's ARIA is a full AI agent that drafts emails, analyzes policies, predicts churn, extracts document data, and even runs autonomously overnight to process renewals and generate morning briefings. It's not a chatbot bolted onto a legacy system. It's an agent with tool use that understands your book of business.
Applied Epic's base price is just the beginning. Comparative rating, e-signatures, advanced reporting, and marketing tools all cost extra. With PrizMova, every feature is included in your plan, from AI email drafting to built-in e-signatures to comparative rating. No hidden add-on charges. No per-user surprises. Plans start at $499/mo.
Applied Epic's interface was designed in the early 2000s and it feels like it. New staff need weeks of training. PrizMova's modern web UI was built with 2024 design standards: clean, intuitive, and responsive on any device. Most teams are productive within hours, not weeks. Every screen is purpose-built for insurance workflows.
Applied Epic's integration options are limited and often require expensive custom development. PrizMova offers a full REST API with OpenAPI 3.1 spec, webhook subscriptions, and SDKs for Python, JavaScript, Go, and Java. Build the integrations you need without paying consultants. Enterprise plans include GraphQL API and unlimited API calls.
Migration
We know migration is the biggest concern when switching from an established AMS. That's why we've built a dedicated migration path for Applied Epic agencies.
Our migration team imports your complete book of business from Applied Epic: clients, policies, claims, documents, activities, and commission records. We handle the IVANS carrier download switchover so there's no gap in your data feeds. Most agencies complete full migration in 2-4 weeks.
Every migrating agency gets a dedicated Customer Success Manager who understands Applied Epic's workflow model and can map your existing processes to PrizMova's streamlined approach. Live training sessions for your team, recorded for future reference. Most users feel confident within the first week.
Run both systems side-by-side during your transition window. We don't ask you to flip a switch overnight. Take the time you need to validate data accuracy, train your team, and build confidence in PrizMova before fully cutting over from Applied Epic.
No. PrizMova supports IVANS carrier downloads. Our migration team coordinates the switchover with your carriers so there's no interruption in your data feeds. Most carrier downloads are redirected within 5-10 business days.
Most agencies complete full migration in 2-4 weeks, including data import, team training, and validation. Larger agencies with complex workflows may take 4-6 weeks. We provide a parallel running period so you're never without coverage.
Absolutely. PrizMova's Commercial Lines Hub includes submission management with AI-powered carrier ranking, COI automation, loss run parsing, and endorsement workflows. Enterprise agencies processing thousands of commercial policies use PrizMova daily.
PrizMova covers all core AMS functions (client management, policy lifecycle, claims, finance, renewals, compliance, and reporting) plus AI capabilities Applied Epic doesn't offer. During onboarding, your CSM maps every workflow you currently use to its PrizMova equivalent.
