Duck Creek Technologies vs Korint (2026)
A carrier choosing between these two is deciding how much core it needs. Duck Creek sells an enterprise property and casualty suite covering policy, billing, claims, rating, reinsurance, distribution management and payments on its OnDemand cloud on Microsoft Azure. In April 2026 it added an agentic platform with an underwriting workbench and a first notice of loss agent, plus a data foundation that also connects to rival cores. Korint, founded in Paris in 2022, sells lighter modules that go live one at a time beside an existing back office, aimed at French insurers, MGAs and delegated brokers. Its own agents read documents, handle cancellations and endorsements, and score claims for document fraud against the insurer's threshold. Both let outside agents connect through the Model Context Protocol. Duck Creek's trust page makes ISO 27001, SOC 1 and SOC 2 Type 2 reports obtainable and it publishes a DORA whitepaper, while Korint's trust center lists ISO 27001:2022, a SOC 2 Type 2 report and DORA controls. Only Korint publishes a price: $10,000 a month on AWS Marketplace.
- Reinsurance, loss control and payments belong in the same suite. Duck Creek's estate covers them alongside policy, billing, claims and rating.
- The core belongs to another vendor, but agents are wanted now. Duck Creek's data foundation is stated to integrate with other core systems.
- Third party risk teams expect documents. Duck Creek's trust page makes ISO 27001 and SOC 1 and SOC 2 Type 2 reports obtainable, alongside a published shared responsibility model and a DORA whitepaper.
- Specialty lines run across several continents. Duck Creek's named carriers span personal, commercial and specialty lines on four continents, with a commitment to the London specialty market.
- Something has to be live in weeks. Korint's modules run beside an existing back office, and WTW launched an assistance product in 10 weeks.
- Servicing and claims fraud are where AI should start. Korint's agents handle cancellations and endorsements within your scope, and its fraud score sends suspect claims to a handler.
- The business writes in France. Korint builds in French vehicle registries and broking data exchange.
- Budget needs a number. Korint lists $10,000 a month on AWS Marketplace with no integration fees, where Duck Creek publishes no price.
