Quotes Prices

I’ve been comparing quotes and noticed the prices are very different. What usually causes that difference?

Life insurance quotes differ drastically because companies evaluate your life expectancy and long-term health risks using their own unique actuarial tables.

Proprietary actuarial tables: Every insurer uses different statistical models to predict life expectancy.

  1. ⁠Medical underwriting niches: One company may strictly penalize high cholesterol, while another is highly lenient.
  2. ⁠Target markets: Some insurers specialize in senior coverage, while others offer the best rates to young athletes.
  3. ⁠Financial health: Companies with massive cash reserves can afford to price policies more competitively.

These are some of the factors that can contribute to different prices across insurers
