The Policy Manager is a long-standing Windows desktop system for funeral policy administration. Both it and JenFlow publish their prices, which makes a straight comparison possible.
Desktop software or the browser?
The Policy Manager is installed on Windows computers, with multi-branch, multi-user remote access and daily onsite and cloud backups.
JenFlow runs in a web browser. There’s nothing to install, updates arrive automatically, and owners can check every branch from anywhere.
What it costs at different sizes
The Policy Manager publishes a monthly fee plus a fee per policy. JenFlow charges a fixed monthly price by the number of active main-member policies. Here is what each would cost each month, using both companies’ published prices:
| Active policies | JenFlow | The Policy Manager |
|---|---|---|
| 500 | R699 (Starter) | R725 (Basic: R450 + 500 × R0.55) |
| 1,500 | R1,350 (Growth) | R1,325 (Standard: R650 + 1,500 × R0.45) |
| 3,000 | R1,800 (Scale) | R2,000 (Standard: R650 + 3,000 × R0.45) |
At these sizes the two are close. The bigger differences are in how you work, not the monthly fee. JenFlow’s price includes SMS credits every month (500, 1,000 or 1,500), and annual billing saves 15%.
