Planlined
Benefit analysis software, formerly BART. Parses whatever the carrier sent into one comparison, models contributions and scenarios, and exports the proposal book and employee guide.
For: brokers and agency teams who receive quotes as PDFs and spreadsheets and build the proposal themselves.
QuoteMap
Uploads up to eight carrier PDFs or spreadsheets per case, extracts 26 fields per plan, applies employer contribution per tier, and produces proposals and benefit guides.
For: small and mid-size brokerages that want per-seat pricing and a document-first workflow.

"Not documented" means the vendor's public pages do not describe the capability. It may exist; ask them before deciding.
Choose QuoteMap when
- Your cases rarely exceed eight documents and a per-seat plan suits how you budget.
- You only need the comparison, proposal and benefit guide, and never touch invoices or scenarios.
Choose Planlined when
- Renewals with many carriers or lines, where an eight-document cap gets in the way.
- You want what-if scenarios, invoice reconciliation, plan and case libraries and client share links in the same tool.
- Price: unlimited proposals at $75 a month versus $100 to $350 per seat.
