Drag-and-drop builder for complex insurance policy logic—no code required.
Solo insurtech founders struggle to build customizable policy templates using drag-and-drop builders that handle complex insurance-specific logic.
Solo insurtech founders use PolicyCanvas to visually design policy templates with drag-and-drop nodes for rules, conditions, and workflows. It handles insurance-specific logic like premiums, exclusions, and claims processing via connected nodes. Export as JSON or embeddable code for your insurtech app.

Node-based visual canvas tailored to insurance primitives, simulating policy execution in real-time.
professional
Canvas for dragging insurance nodes (e.g., premium calc, risk factor) and connecting logic flows.
Test policies with sample customer data to preview outcomes like quotes or approvals.
Export policies as JSON, React components, or API endpoints for integration.
Pre-built nodes for common insurtech logic: deductibles, coverages, underwriting rules.
Save and revert policy versions with diff viewer.
Share editable policy links with feedback comments.
Create reusable custom nodes from JS snippets.
Track policy usage and simulation stats.
