Our take
Calculating home insurance quotes can be a challenging process, and prone to costly inaccuracies. Swyfft solves this problem using patented analytical methods and unique data sources.
Swyfft allows users to calculate risks to homes and commercial properties more accurately and in a matter of seconds. The speed and accuracy of its calculations and policy creation has drawn a large user base in a relatively short space of time. Since launching, Swyfft has expanded its focus and technology considerably.
Swyfft's speed, accuracy and ease-of-use has so far set it apart from much of the home insurance market. It will need to constantly innovate its technology in order to stay ahead of the curve however.
