Xactimate is the estimating standard for the restoration insurance industry. If you do insurance work, your job management software needs to connect to it. The good news: all four major restoration platforms now offer Xactimate integration. The details — which plan tier, how the data flows, and what XactAnalysis access looks like — vary significantly.
Everything below is sourced directly from vendor websites as of June 9, 2026. No third-party review sites, no aggregated data — primary sources only.
Xactimate integration by platform
| Platform | Xactimate | XactAnalysis | Plan requirement | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotality DASH | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | All plans (contact for quote) | Native via Cotality/CoreLogic ecosystem; deepest carrier integration |
| Xcelerate | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | All plans (contact for quote) | Verisk integration — automates cost analysis, accesses Verisk cost database |
| Albi | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | Pro seats only ($100/seat/mo) | Not available on Base seats ($60/seat/mo); confirm seat mix before signing |
| PSA (Canam Systems) | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | All plans (flat team pricing) | Also integrates with CoreLogic Symbility |
What Xactimate integration actually does
A real Xactimate integration means your job management platform can receive estimate data from Xactimate and push completed estimates into XactAnalysis for carrier review — without your estimator manually exporting, reformatting, and uploading files. The workflow looks like: scope is written in Xactimate → estimate pushes to your job management system → job management system submits to XactAnalysis → carrier reviews and approves.
Without integration, that same process involves manual exports, file conversions, and email threads that cost 30–60 minutes per large job. On a company doing 40 insurance jobs a month, that is 20–40 hours of friction per month that a proper integration eliminates.
Cotality DASH: deepest carrier integration
DASH’s Xactimate integration is the most native of the four platforms because Cotality (formerly CoreLogic) is embedded in the same property data ecosystem that insurance carriers and TPAs operate in. Contractor Connection, Code Blue, and other TPAs that run on CoreLogic infrastructure connect directly. The Compliance Manager in DASH builds carrier-specific documentation requirements into field checklists — so field techs are capturing exactly what each carrier needs, before the adjuster asks for it.
DASH also integrates with Claims Connect (per cotality.com), which is specifically for streamlining the claims intake and communication workflow between contractors and carriers.
Xcelerate: full Verisk stack plus the widest integration breadth
Xcelerate’s Xactimate integration (via Verisk) automates cost analysis and provides access to Verisk’s database of cost data, materials, and labor rates for accurate estimates. Beyond Xactimate, Xcelerate’s verified integration list from xlrestorationsoftware.com includes: Zapier, Encircle, CompanyCam, Matterport, QuickBooks, DocuSketch, Clean Claims, Microsoft 365, Gmail, Google Calendar, RingCentral, Power BI, and TSheets. For shops that need Xactimate plus a wide ecosystem of field tools, Xcelerate’s breadth is a genuine advantage.
Albi: Xactimate available — on Pro seats only
Albi added Xactimate and XactAnalysis integration, but it is gated to Pro seats ($100/user/month). Base seats ($60/user/month) do not include it. Per albiware.com/albi-pricing, the full integration list on Pro seats includes: Xactimate, XactAnalysis, iCAT, Kahi, Encircle, CompanyCam, Eagleview, CleanClaims, QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, and Sage.
If you’re evaluating Albi for an insurance-heavy operation, make sure you run your user count through the Pro seat model — enough Pro seats to cover your estimating staff, Base seats for field techs.
PSA: flat pricing plus Symbility
PSA (Canam Systems) integrates with Xactimate, XactAnalysis, and CoreLogic Symbility. The Symbility integration is a differentiator — Symbility is used by a segment of carriers who don’t use Xactimate, and having both means PSA can serve contractors who work with multiple carrier systems. PSA’s flat team pricing means Xactimate integration doesn’t get more expensive as your team grows — unlike per-user platforms where adding estimators compounds the cost.
The bottom line on Xactimate integration
If you’re choosing a restoration platform primarily based on Xactimate integration quality, the ranking is: DASH for deepest carrier ecosystem connection, Xcelerate for widest overall integration breadth alongside Xactimate, PSA for flat pricing at scale with Symbility coverage, Albi for flexibility — but verify your Pro seat count covers all estimating staff before signing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which restoration software integrates with Xactimate?
All four major restoration platforms integrate with Xactimate as of June 2026. Cotality DASH integrates natively through the Cotality/CoreLogic ecosystem. Xcelerate integrates with Verisk’s Xactimate and XactAnalysis (per xlrestorationsoftware.com). Albi integrates with Xactimate and XactAnalysis on Pro seats ($100/user/month) per albiware.com/albi-pricing. PSA (Canam Systems) integrates with Xactimate and XactAnalysis per canamsys.com.
What is XactAnalysis and how does it differ from Xactimate?
Xactimate is Verisk’s estimating software — it is where restoration contractors build scope of loss estimates using Verisk’s database of cost data, materials, and labor rates. XactAnalysis is Verisk’s claims management platform — it is where insurance carriers and TPAs receive, review, and approve those estimates. Integrating with both means your job management software can push estimates to XactAnalysis for carrier review without manual export/import.
Does Albi integrate with Xactimate?
Yes, as of June 2026. Per albiware.com/albi-pricing, Albi Pro seats ($100/user/month) include Xactimate and XactAnalysis integration. This is a Pro-seat-only feature — Base seats ($60/user/month) do not include it. If Xactimate integration is critical to your workflow, confirm you have sufficient Pro seats in your Albi plan.
Does PSA (Canam Systems) integrate with Xactimate?
Yes. Per canamsys.com, PSA integrates with Xactimate, XactAnalysis, and CoreLogic Symbility. PSA is a full ERP for restoration with flat team-based pricing, making it cost-effective for larger teams that need Xactimate integration at scale without per-user fees compounding.
What restoration software has the best Xactimate integration?
Cotality DASH has the deepest Xactimate integration because Cotality is in the same corporate family as the broader property data ecosystem that Verisk/Xactimate connects to. For pure Xactimate workflow — pushing estimates from the field into XactAnalysis for carrier review — DASH’s native connection has the least friction. For shops that want Xactimate integration plus broader non-insurance tool connections, Xcelerate’s full integration list is wide.
Can I run a restoration company without Xactimate integration?
Yes, if your work is primarily retail or cash-pay rather than insurance. Albi serves many retail-focused restoration contractors effectively without Xactimate as the core workflow. However, if more than 30% of your revenue flows through insurance carriers or TPAs, Xactimate integration is essentially required — it is the language insurers speak for scope of loss.
