Maxout CRM vs Onyx
Onyx is a feature-rich insurance CRM with hundreds of pre-built AI workflows across multiple vertical Stacks and tiered pricing up to voice AI on Elite. Maxout CRM takes the opposite approach: fewer screens, faster setup, and many AI tools built in from day one — for agents who want power without configuration overload.
WHERE ONYX CRM FITS
Onyx is the right choice if you want deep per-vertical automation libraries out of the box, need Medicare/ACA-specific Stacks with seasonal surge modes, or plan to scale into voice AI inbound/outbound on a dedicated Elite tier.
Onyx ships with 441+ AI-enabled automation workflows across 7 vertical-specific Stacks (Mortgage Protection, Final Expense, Life, Medicare, Health/ACA, IUL, Annuity). Pricing tiers include Core at $99/month, Prime at $149/month, and Elite AI at $499/month plus setup for voice AI. They offer a 14-day money-back guarantee, annual plans, and done-for-you onboarding calls.

WHY MAXOUT
Simple UI. Fast setup. AI built in.
Simple beats sprawling
Onyx's strength is depth — hundreds of workflows across Stacks. Maxout's strength is clarity — AI call help, texting, scheduling, carrier intel, and follow-up in a UI you can learn in an afternoon, not a week of stack tuning.
AI included, not tier-gated
Onyx gates AI appointment booking behind Prime and voice AI behind Elite. Maxout bundles AI assistance into the core product experience so you are not upgrading tiers to unlock basic intelligence.
Built for agents who hate CRM clutter
If you have tried big platforms and felt lost in menus, Maxout is designed for you — quick navigation, obvious next actions, nothing you do not need blocking the screen.
Affordable for solo producers
You do not need a $499/month Elite plan to get AI help on calls. Maxout targets agents who want modern AI tooling without enterprise-tier monthly burn.
FAQ
Switching from Onyx CRM?
Onyx has 441+ workflows. Does Maxout have enough automation?
Maxout focuses on practical automation agents use every day — follow-up sequences, appointment reminders, AI suggested replies, and call logging — plus AI assistance during live conversations. If you need Medicare AEP surge modes or dozens of vertical-specific drip libraries on day one, compare both in a demo.
Is Maxout cheaper than Onyx?
Onyx Core starts at $99/month with AI booking on Prime at $149. Maxout pricing is competitive — contact us for current rates. Many agents choose Maxout to avoid climbing tiers as they add AI features.
Which is faster to get started?
Maxout is intentionally minimal — connect your tools when ready and start working leads. Onyx rewards agents who invest time configuring the right Stack and tier for their lines of business.
Does Maxout replace Onyx voice AI?
Not directly. Onyx Elite offers autonomous inbound/outbound voice AI. Maxout offers AI coaching on human-led calls plus full CRM workflow — a better fit if you sell person-to-person and want AI support, not AI replacement.
