Our take: Sproutt is an online life insurance broker that offers policies from many top insurance companies, such as Banner, SBLI, and TruStage. 

Less than a decade old, Sproutt has grown in popularity as an online life insurance broker that infuses artificial intelligence into its system, allowing the brokerage platform to anticipate an applicants needs and find the best policy for their profile. The Sproutt platform quickly makes coverage recommendations from a long list of insurance partners, although their tech-heavy approach might be less exciting to customers used to working with more established companies.

Pros:

  • No medical exam required for coverage if you don’t have major health issues
  • Easy online application
  • Good mix of artificial intelligence and live agents for customer support
  • Wide variety of life insurance products

Cons:

  • Founded in 2018, company has short track record compared to some competitors
