Semsee vs QuoteSweep
Looking for a Semsee Alternative?
Semsee's free tier gets agents started with API-based quoting across 48 carriers. But when your book grows beyond small commercial, you need more carriers, more lines, and appetite intelligence. Here's how they compare.
About these tools
Semsee is a carrier-subsidized comparative rater founded in 2017, headquartered in Manhattan. It connects to 48 carriers via API and RPA connections, offering a free Essential tier (Semsee's appointed carriers), a $50/mo Professional tier (your own carriers), and custom Enterprise pricing. Semsee also offers Market Access (quoting carriers you're not appointed with) and Bulk Quote (mass renewal requoting from AMS data).
QuoteSweep uses AI web agents to submit commercial insurance applications to 550+ carrier portals simultaneously — no carrier API partnerships required. It works with YOUR existing carrier appointments.
What Is Semsee?
Semsee is a carrier-subsidized comparative rater founded in 2017 in Manhattan. It connects to 48 carriers via a mix of API and RPA connections, covering small commercial lines. The free Essential tier lets agents quote through Semsee's own carrier appointments — but to quote your own appointed carriers, you need the $50/mo Professional tier. Semsee also offers two unique features: Market Access (agents can quote carriers they're NOT appointed with, through Semsee's wholesale relationships) and Bulk Quote (pull thousands of renewal risks from your AMS and mass-requote across carriers). For agents writing straightforward small commercial accounts within Semsee's 48-carrier network, it's a strong value. But agents with larger books, specialty needs, or carrier panels that extend beyond those 48 often hit its ceiling. Semsee integrates with Applied Epic and EZLynx for AMS connectivity.

Why Agents Choose QuoteSweep Over Semsee
Beyond small commercial
Semsee's strongest coverage is in small commercial BOP and GL. For lines like umbrella or more complex specialty coverage, you're back in carrier portals. QuoteSweep handles 8 lines of business from a single application.
Know who WON'T write you
Semsee has a basic appetite checker, but QuoteSweep shows both who WILL and who explicitly WON'T write your risk — including exclusions by class code, state, and premium range. Preventing wasted submissions is just as valuable as finding new markets.
Your carriers, your commissions
Semsee's free Essential tier quotes through Semsee's carrier appointments — meaning the carrier relationship belongs to Semsee, not you. Their $50/mo Professional tier lets you use your own carriers, but across only 48 connections. QuoteSweep works exclusively with YOUR appointments from day one, across 550+ carriers.
Grow without switching
Agents often start with Semsee for free small commercial quoting, then outgrow it as their book expands. QuoteSweep scales from your first BOP quote to complex multi-line commercial accounts without hitting a tool ceiling.
