Software comparison
XactAnalysis is the carrier-side assignment workflow inside the Xactware platform. claimOS is the operating system for the public adjusting firm working the other side of the table.
If you are a public adjusting firm trying to figure out where claim management, evidence, drafting, and the client experience should live, this comparison is for you.

| Capability | claimOS | XactAnalysis |
|---|---|---|
| Primary user | The public adjusting firm running the recovery | Carrier desk adjusters and assignment coordinators routing claims to vendors |
| Data model | Claim-centric: every record rolls up to the claim file you own | Assignment-centric: a workflow engine that routes claims through carrier-defined queues |
| Who owns the file | The firm. Your tenant, your data, your export. | The assignment lives inside the carrier system; vendors work the assignment, not the file. |
| AI copilot | Reads the claim file and drafts demands, supplements, and updates with citations | Workflow automation; not a generative AI claim drafting tool |
| Document automation | Templates merge claim data into demands, supplements, releases, and packages | Forms and letters scoped to the assignment workflow, not PA correspondence |
| Estimating integration | Imports Xactimate ESX into the claim file; uses estimate data downstream | Tightly integrated with Xactimate as part of the Xactware platform |
| Weather evidence | Federal weather data pulled and tagged automatically for the loss date and address | No native federal weather correlation in the assignment workflow |
| Client portal | Branded portal for the homeowner with status, documents, and signing | Carrier-side claimant communication; no PA-branded client portal |
| iOS field app | Native iOS capture app with structured photos, voice notes, and signatures | Mobile capture exists for assignment-driven inspections; oriented to carrier workflows |
| Pricing | Per-seat monthly subscription, no per-claim fee | Carrier-side enterprise contracts; PA firms typically access through assignments, not direct purchase |
XactAnalysis is a workflow engine for carrier assignments. It is excellent at routing a claim through the right hands inside a carrier organization. It was not built to be the operating system for the firm working the claim from the other side of the table. claimOS is.
An assignment in XactAnalysis lives inside the carrier system. The vendor (often a public adjuster acting as a contractor in carrier workflows, or a sister firm working the IA side) works the assignment. In claimOS, the file lives in your tenant. You can export it, archive it, share it with co-counsel, and reference it ten years later without depending on the carrier's retention policy.
claimOS includes an AI copilot that reads the policy, the scope, the photographs, and the timeline of the actual claim, then drafts demands, supplements, and client updates with line-item citations. XactAnalysis automates assignment workflows; it is not a generative AI drafting tool for public adjuster correspondence.
Your client portal, e-signature, document automation, and AI copilot do not depend on a carrier giving you access to a system. The platform is yours, the workflow is yours, and the data is yours.
Honest comparisons build trust. The competitor is good at parts of the job, and we will tell you where.
XactAnalysis is part of the Xactware ecosystem and is wired into how carriers route, manage, and close assignments. If your firm's revenue depends on receiving carrier assignments through that pipe, XactAnalysis is the system you have to live in for those workflows.
For desk-side workflows that move a claim through a defined carrier process (assignment, inspection, estimate, review, payment), XactAnalysis is mature and well-instrumented. Public adjuster operations are different work, but the assignment-flow side is genuinely strong.
Because XactAnalysis and Xactimate are part of the same platform, the data flow between them is tight. If the bulk of your work is producing Xactimate estimates inside an assignment, that pairing is hard to beat on raw integration depth.
XactAnalysis is a carrier system. claimOS is your system. They are not really substitutes; they are tools for different sides of the same claim. Most public adjusting firms use Xactimate for estimating and claimOS for everything else, with XactAnalysis as a lens into the carrier process when they have to work inside it.
