Kearny Risk organizes these comparisons for firms whose advice, content or technology creates professional exposures.Research updated 2026-09-29

Alliance Risk lets you buy Tech E&O on its own, with published limit bands from $250K/$500K to $2M/$3M+ and a $2,500 small-firm deductible. Coalition sells Tech E&O only with its Active Cyber policy, adding free attack-surface monitoring and one claims team for both.

What Are the Key Differences Between Alliance Risk and Coalition Tech E&O Insurance?

Standalone Tech E&O vs Only With Cyber

Alliance Risk is a specialist broker that places Tech E&O for companies that build, deploy or advise using software, and says cyberattacks need a separate cyber policy. Coalition sells Tech E&O through appointed brokers only in combination with its Active Cyber Insurance, never on its own. Choose Alliance Risk if you already have cyber cover or only need E&O for a client contract; choose Coalition if you need both and want them from one company. [2] [5]

Published Limit Bands vs Free Monitoring and One Claims Team

Alliance Risk publishes illustrative limits from $250K/$500K for a freelancer to $2M/$3M+ for a SaaS company, a $2,500 small-firm deductible, and a free review of your existing policy. Coalition doesn't publish Tech E&O limits, but includes Coalition Control attack-surface monitoring at no extra cost and says one in-house claims team handles both Tech E&O and cyber claims. Alliance Risk's page doesn't describe how claims are handled. [2] [5] [4]

AI Outputs Named vs Software Bugs and Missed Contract Terms

Alliance Risk describes cover for failure to perform and errors in deliverables, including AI outputs. Coalition describes cover for clients' financial losses from errors or negligence in your technology, including software bugs and failing to meet contract requirements, for any organization providing technology for a fee. If you ship AI features, ask Coalition how it treats AI output errors. [2] [5]

What Should You Confirm in Alliance Risk and Coalition Tech E&O Insurance Quotes?

  • Confirm Coalition's quote includes Active Cyber and ask which insurer issues the Tech E&O part; its disclosures don't name one, which suggests a surplus-lines insurer outside state guaranty funds. [5] [6]
  • Ask Alliance Risk which insurers it approached and whether its published limit bands fit your revenue. [2]
  • Ask whether Alliance Risk's placement includes any security monitoring comparable to Coalition Control. [4] [2]
  • Ask Alliance Risk who you would call for a non-cyber professional-liability claim. [2]
