Pricing & features as of May 2026, from public sources.
Marine-vertical positioning, integrated calling/SMS, and a simple low monthly price — a real strength if built-in comms matter most.
MarineCRM is the only agency system that reads CSR, YachtInsure, Kemah, LMIS, and Knotline the same way the big platforms read State Farm — auto-ingesting cover notes, binders, invoices and carrier statements that every IVANS-based system makes you type in by hand.
Both target marine agencies. CaptaIMS adds built-in phone/SMS at $30/user. MarineCRM's edge is the automation layer — it reads your carrier email and reconciles commission instead of manual entry.
