HOW THEY DIFFER

The short version.

On our benchmark BoldTrail takes the higher Index Score (80 to 76) — but that headline hides where each one really pulls ahead.

On channels, BoldTrail is wider — 6 of 6 versus 5. If the channel your business runs on isn't covered, the rest barely matters.

On price, BoldTrail starts lower — Custom against Custom — though the cheaper sticker isn't always the better deal once you factor in what each one includes for the money.

So BoldTrail suits team/brokerage teams; CINC leans toward team/brokerage.
