How We Get Paid

Image for How We Get PaidOur motto is “don’t trust anyone until you know how they get paid.” Yes, we live by this motto. Therefore, in the spirit of embracing transparency, here’s how we get paid.

A Mission Oriented Business

As a mission oriented business, we are different than other rating services in three important ways:

  1. We have no outside investors. Therefore, we are never forced to make tradeoffs between making shareholders richer versus doing what’s right for consumers.
  2. We only use high-quality data collected by state insurance departments. We never include user surveys or web reviews in the analysis. Consequently, we are unquestionably the most accurate rating service.
  3. The first step is to collect the data and complete the calculations. Once complete, the analysis is available based on the three business models described below.
