AdjusterPro alternatives for public adjuster exam prep (2026)

By Andrew D'Angelo · Published 2026-11-04 · Updated 2026-11-04 · Editorial process

The main AdjusterPro alternatives for public adjuster exam prep are OpenExamPrep (free questions), AdjusterBase ($50 per state), Kaplan ($139 to $189 for its California adjuster course), Texas Insurance Training Academy ($189), Insurance Schools ($199.95 in Pennsylvania) and free state outlines. Stay with AdjusterPro if you need Florida's approved 6-20 course.

AdjusterBase is an independent study platform for public adjuster licensing exams in all 50 states, plus free claim education. Find your state course.

The short answer

AdjusterPro is a strong choice for Florida and for independent adjuster licensing. For a public adjuster exam in an exam-only state, you can spend less. Pick OpenExamPrep for free practice, AdjusterBase for low-cost state lessons and readiness forms, or a guaranteed course from Insurance Schools or Texas Insurance Training Academy if a guarantee matters to you.

Disclosure: AdjusterBase is our product. We checked every price below on the provider's own page on November 4, 2026, and we name each competitor's real strengths.

What does AdjusterPro do well?

AdjusterPro has a large, proven customer base. Its Florida Public Adjuster Pre-Licensing (Step 1) course shows a 4.8 rating from 8,919 reviews on the product page, and its California adjuster exam prep shows 4.6 from 1,223 reviews.

The Florida course is the approved first step toward the 6-20 all-lines license that Florida public adjusters must hold. AdjusterPro says completing it qualifies you to apply for the 6-20 license with no additional testing. The course costs $299 and includes lifetime access.

Its public adjuster line is narrower than its brand suggests. AdjusterPro's $199 California product is exam prep for the adjuster license that independent adjusters hold, not for the California public adjuster exam.

Who should stay with AdjusterPro?

Stay with AdjusterPro if you are a Florida candidate who needs the approved 6-20 step, if you are pursuing an independent adjuster license, or if a large review base and lifetime access are worth the higher price to you. Those are real advantages that the alternatives below do not all match.

OpenExamPrep: best free option

OpenExamPrep publishes free public adjuster practice questions for 45 states, including 316 for California with explanations. It is the obvious first stop if your budget is zero. It does not offer an approved course or a guarantee, and it describes itself as not affiliated with the exam sponsors.

AdjusterBase: best for exam-only and multi-state candidates

AdjusterBase costs $50 for one state for six months or $100 for all states for twelve months, one time, with no auto-renew. Each state includes lessons tied to that state's statutes and regulator pages, practice questions, flashcards and two 100-question readiness forms.

Its limits are real. AdjusterBase is independent study material, not a state-approved prelicensing course, and it does not provide continuing education. It has no customer reviews yet, offers no pass guarantee and all sales are final. In California, New York, Florida, Georgia and Connecticut you still need an approved provider's course.

Kaplan: best for a structured brand-name course

Kaplan is a well-known education brand. Its California adjuster course costs $139 to $189 and includes 60 days of access, with extensions of 30, 60 or 90 days for $29, $39 or $49. The page we checked is for the California adjuster license, so confirm that Kaplan sells a public adjuster package for your state.

Insurance Schools and Texas Insurance Training Academy: best for a guarantee

Insurance Schools sells a Pennsylvania public adjuster course for $199.95 with a pass guarantee, video lessons and ten untimed practice exams. It states that Pennsylvania has no prelicensing requirement for the exam, which is useful honesty.

Texas Insurance Training Academy sells a Texas public adjuster online course for $189 with 50 days of access, practice exams and a pass guarantee. It focuses on Texas only.

State regulator and vendor materials: the free base layer

Every candidate should read the official content outline and candidate handbook from the state's vendor, such as Pearson VUE or PSI, and the state's public adjuster statute. They define what is tested, and they are free. Use any paid product as a layer on top of them.

How do the prices compare over time?

Access length changes the real price. AdjusterPro's Florida course includes lifetime access. Kaplan's California adjuster course includes 60 days, then charges $29, $39 or $49 for 30, 60 or 90 more days. Texas Insurance Training Academy includes 50 days. AdjusterBase includes six months for one state or twelve months for all states. If you study slowly or expect a retake, a short window can cost more than the list price suggests.

Coupons change it too. Several providers show discount codes on their pages, so the price you pay may be lower than the list price. AdjusterBase uses one flat price with no codes and no auto-renew.

Switching from AdjusterPro

There is nothing to migrate between exam prep products. What carries over is what you learned. If you already finished AdjusterPro's Florida 6-20 step, keep that credit and use another product only for public adjuster exam practice. If you bought an independent adjuster product and now need a public adjuster license, compare its outline with your state's public adjuster outline, then fill the gaps, usually state public adjuster law, contracts and fee rules.

Questions to ask any provider

Before you buy any course, including ours, get clear answers to these.

  • Does this product cover my state's public adjuster exam, by exam code?
  • Is it approved for prelicensing hours, and does my state require that?
  • How long is access, and what does an extension cost?
  • What are the refund and guarantee terms, in writing?
  • When were the state law lessons last checked against official sources?

How we compared

We looked at state approval where required, public adjuster coverage, price, access length, guarantee and published reviews. We used each provider's own product page and did not accept payment from any provider. Prices change, so confirm them before you buy.

Frequently asked questions

Is AdjusterPro worth it for a public adjuster license?

In Florida, often yes, because its course covers the approved 6-20 step. In exam-only states, cheaper options can prepare you for the same exam.

What is the cheapest AdjusterPro alternative?

OpenExamPrep is free. AdjusterBase is the lowest-priced paid option we found at $50 per state.

Does AdjusterBase replace an approved prelicensing course?

No. In states that require one, take the approved course and use AdjusterBase alongside it if you want more practice.

Which alternative offers a pass guarantee?

Insurance Schools and Texas Insurance Training Academy both advertise pass guarantees. AdjusterBase does not.
