SteadyOps
Applied Epic Alternative for Agencies That Don't Need Enterprise
Applied Epic is powerful, enterprise-grade AMS — with enterprise pricing and months-long implementations to match. SteadyOps is a different path for small agencies that need AI-driven CRM, voice, and marketing without the enterprise overhead.
Where Applied Epic fits
Applied Epic is built for large and enterprise-scale agencies — typically 50+ employees, high policy volume, complex commercial lines, and dedicated IT resources. Its depth is genuine, and so is its cost.
- ✗Typically $50-$150 per user per month, custom-quoted
- ✗10-user deployment: approximately $1,500/mo in license fees
- ✗100-user deployment: $15,000+/mo before implementation
- ✗Implementation runs $10,000-$100,000+ depending on agency size
- ✗Annual contracts and formal onboarding are standard
Where SteadyOps is different
SteadyOps is built for 1-25 producer agencies who want modern tooling without enterprise budgets or timelines. We replace the CRM, marketing, voice, and proposal layers — and trade away AMS depth for AI and speed of setup.
- ✓$79-349/mo flat for your whole team — no per-seat fees, no implementation fees
- ✓Onboarding in under an hour, not 3-6 months
- ✓AI Voice Agent answers every inbound call 24/7 — Epic doesn't include voice natively
- ✓AI Copilot handles quotes, renewal reminders, and client emails from plain English
- ✓Month-to-month pricing — cancel anytime, export your data
- ✓Trade-off: SteadyOps is not a full AMS and won't replace Epic for large commercial books
What Makes SteadyOps Different
AI That Actually Works for You
AI Voice Agent

Set Up in an Hour

AI Copilot
Your entire business, operable by plain-English prompt: 'Draft a summary of the Peterson claim for the adjuster' — done instantly.
No Annual Contracts
Month-to-month with no cancellation fees. Export your contacts, deals, and activity history anytime.
Modern, Mobile-First UX

Frequently Asked Questions
Can SteadyOps replace Applied Epic?
For small or mid-size agencies under ~25 employees who don't rely heavily on ACORD production, carrier downloads, or complex commercial lines accounting — yes, SteadyOps can replace the Epic workflow with a much leaner setup. For large agencies or those with heavy commercial lines, Epic remains the more complete AMS, and SteadyOps is a better fit as an AI + CRM + marketing layer alongside it.
What's the cost difference at 10 users?
Applied Epic: approximately $1,500/mo in license fees, plus implementation. SteadyOps Growth: $149/mo flat for up to 10 producers. The cost delta is roughly 10×, though you trade deep AMS features for AI and marketing built-in.
How long does SteadyOps take to set up?
Under an hour. The onboarding wizard asks your vertical (insurance) and configures pipelines, voice scripts, renewal cadences, and templates automatically. Most agencies are processing their first lead on day one.
What about data migration?
Contacts and deals are importable via CSV in minutes. Policy-level data migration from Epic is more involved — reach out for help scoping it.
