Corebridge Financial ranks No. 14 in our 2026 rankings, earning a 4.23 out of 5 overall, which reflects relatively positive billing experiences, dependable service, and some of the lowest premiums on our entire list. While its NAIC complaint index is higher than that of its top competitors and its customer satisfaction score isn’t as strong, Corebridge keeps coverage affordable and accessible for a wide range of shoppers.
People who choose Corebridge tend to prioritize practicality. The company is easy to work with once your policy is in place, and its lower pricing can make life insurance feel more doable if you’re on a budget. It’s a comfortable fit for someone who wants reliable protection without paying premium prices or dealing with a complicated service experience.
Our research also shows that Corebridge tends to be more accessible for shoppers with pre-existing conditions, including people who may face higher rates with other insurers. This makes it a practical fit for buyers who want life insurance without having to jump through extra hoops or pay steep premiums for coverage.
Corebridge performs strongest in billing and ease of service, two areas that matter most for policyholders after they buy coverage. Customers report fewer hassles when managing payments or accessing policy materials, helping create a smoother long-term experience Customer satisfaction, however, is lower than that of many top competitors.

Corebridge’s loyalty results are midpack compared with many other insurers. About 89% of customers say they’d recommend the company. That’s weaker than the top companies in our rankings. Yet 100% of those surveyed say Corebridge is trustworthy.
Renewals are where the company also stands out. A category-leading 100% of customers say they plan to keep their policy. This often means customers like the price and feel confident in the long-term support or overall experience.
Corebridge excels in the basics — especially affordability — while fostering a strong, long-lasting confidence that is often associated with higher-rated insurers.
Here’s how Corebridge compares to competitors:
Corebridge tends to resonate most with middle-aged adults, thanks to its competitive pricing and easier underwriting for certain health profiles. Younger buyers rate the experience considerably lower.
Here’s how age-group satisfaction compares:
Corebridge Financial’s average annual premium is $272, which is almost 29% lower than the industry average of $382. That makes it the most affordable company in this year’s rankings.

And because Corebridge Financial tends to be more accommodating for applicants with medical conditions, many buyers find good value without sharply inflated rates.

Have your diagnosis date, current medications, and most recent lab work ready, since those determine your rating more than the condition itself.

Methodology
In 2025, Insure.com surveyed more than 2,000 insurance consumers through independent research firm Dynata. Customers named their life insurer and rated it on customer satisfaction, ease of service, policy offerings, billing, and their experience across different applicant types (seniors, middle-aged adults, young adults, people with pre-existing conditions, people who are overweight, and people who prefer no-exam coverage). We also asked whether they planned to keep their policy, would recommend their insurer, and trusted their insurer.
For insurers with enough survey responses, we added:
With guidance from Prof. David Marlett, Ph.D., Managing Director of the Brantley Risk and Insurance Center at Appalachian State University, we applied the following weights to determine each company’s final score:
Each insurer received a rating between 0.5 and 5 stars, with 5 stars representing the highest performance.
