Short answer
COI tracking options fall into three groups: enterprise vendor-compliance platforms such as myCOI, TrustLayer and Jones, which are quote-priced and contracted annually; SMB tools priced publicly per month, including CertShield at $99 to $499; and spreadsheets, which remain a legitimate choice below roughly 25 vendors with a single requirement tier.

myCOI is built for enterprises. CertShield gives property managers the same COI compliance at SMB pricing — live in a day, no annual contract.

How to run the evaluation
Take the same three difficult certificates to every vendor on your shortlist: one scanned or photographed, one rotated or poor-quality, and one with several endorsement pages attached. Then ask each vendor the question that separates them — what will you not claim? Anyone who says they can automatically detect a mid-term policy cancellation is telling you how they will handle every other edge case too.
The longer version of that evaluation is in the buyer’s guide.
