FreshAuthority / Compare / AuthorityAlerts
AuthorityAlerts is the budget option in this category, and we won't pretend otherwise — on price alone, they win. The differences that matter are delivery time, how the renewal data is organized, and whether anyone guarantees the contacts. Here is the full picture.
| FreshAuthority | AuthorityAlerts | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | One State $39/mo · Every State $79/mo | $20/mo for one user, every state (or $200/year), on their own site. Note: G2's listing says plans start at $79/mo — the two sources conflict, so check their site before relying on either number |
| Extra seats | Not seat-priced — plans are per subscription | +$15/mo per extra team member, less past five |
| Delivery time | By 6:00 AM Eastern, Mon–Sat | By 10:30 AM Eastern, daily digest email with CSV |
| Free look | 25-lead sample with full contacts, no card; free 7-day trial (card required) | 10 free leads with contacts, email only, no card; a 7-day trial started from the sample doesn't ask for a card either |
| Files | Three workable CSVs — new grants daily, renewals due in 60 days (insurer + effective date first), lapsed liability | A daily digest across ten event types: new authorities, applications, lapses, renewal windows, reinstatements and more |
| Filing-agent flagging | Rows carry the contacts as filed with FMCSA | A signature feature: they flag filing-agent phone numbers across FMCSA so you reach the owner, not a paperwork service |
| Watchlist | Plus Feeds ($179/mo): change files for your own book, up to 5,000 carriers | Included: monitor up to 2,000 of your carriers for cancellations, suspensions, revocations and reinstatements |
| Contact-accuracy guarantee | ≥95% of rows contactable or the month is free | No accuracy guarantee published on their site |
| Done-for-you outreach | Not offered — you get the file, you work it | Outreach tier sends in your name, from $499/mo |

FreshAuthority is built around the insurance sale: the current insurer and the policy effective date lead every row, renewals and lapses arrive as their own workable files rather than lines in a digest, the file lands at 6 AM ET instead of 10:30, and the ≥95% guarantee means a bad file costs us a month, not you. If your day starts with calls, four and a half hours is a head start on every other subscriber working the same carriers.
At $20/mo on their own site, AuthorityAlerts is the cheapest way to see new-authority data every morning, their no-card trial is the lowest-friction start in the category, and the filing-agent flagging solves a real problem — many new carriers' filed numbers ring a paperwork service. If budget beats timing and file structure for you, they are a reasonable pick.
