Our take
Insurify is a company that sets out to make the process of buying car insurance easier and better suited to what the customer requires. Since its founding in 2013, the company has generated over 26 million quotes, representing over 44 million dollars saved for consumers.
Operational in all 50 US states, the platform uses artificial intelligence to sift through quotes from insurance companies to empower its customers to make sensible choices. Policies can be purchased online or over the phone, and include exclusive rates and discounts found only through Insurify.
Insurify is up against fierce competition in the insurtech industry, with other comparison-shopping sites like The Zebra, Root Insurance, and Coverhound all offering similar services. That said, the company has expanded its operations substantially in recent years, with its most recent fundraise cited to support acquisitions (it has already announced plans to acquire Compare.com) as it looks to strengthen its market leadership.
