Cover from $100,000 to $3 million, on terms of 10 to 30 years

A price you hold for 30 years

Your premium is fixed on the day the policy starts and stays flat for the whole term, on a 10-year policy or a 30-year one.

9 in 10 skip the medical exam

Answer the health questions and most applicants get an offer without a nurse visit. Labs add about 5 working days when a carrier does ask for them.

Cover up to $3 million

Start at $100,000 and raise it later when a child arrives, a mortgage grows, or a salary jumps.

Cancel in any month

Stop the policy from your account in two clicks with no cancellation fee, and take the first 30 days as a full refund.

4.8 out of 5 from 3,190 policyholders

“My broker quoted $68 a month for $500,000. Everly came back at $34 with a carrier I had heard of, and the whole thing took one evening. What I did not expect was getting one person’s name and having that same person answer every email for three weeks.”

The six questions people ask before they buy

Why is $18 a month so much cheaper than the policy I already have?

$18 buys $250,000 of term cover for a 30-year-old non-smoker on a 20-year term. Term cover expires at the end of that term, which is why it costs a fraction of a whole-life policy that pays out whenever you die and builds a cash value on the way. If your current policy is whole life you are comparing two products, and the quote page shows both.

I already have cover through work. Do I need this?

Employer cover is usually one or two times salary and it ends on your last day. A personal policy follows you through a job change, a redundancy or a move abroad, and its price is set by your age and health on the day you apply rather than by your employer's group rate.

What happens to my current policy while I switch?

Keep paying it. Everly never asks you to cancel anything until the new policy is issued and the first payment has cleared, which is 24 hours after approval for most applicants and about 5 working days when labs are needed. Cancelling early is the one mistake that leaves a family uncovered.

How long does the application actually take?

Twelve minutes of health, lifestyle and occupation questions, all on a phone. Nine in ten applicants get a decision inside 24 hours with no nurse visit. The rest are asked for a blood and urine panel, which Everly books at your home and pays for.

What happens to my health answers and my medical records?

Answers are encrypted in transit and at rest, held in US data centres, and passed only to the carrier underwriting your application. Everly is SOC 2 Type II audited, sells nothing to advertisers or data brokers, and deletes the file 30 days after a withdrawn application.

Am I locked in if I change my mind?

Cancel from your account in any month with no cancellation fee. Inside the first 30 days every premium paid comes back in full. After that the policy lapses at the end of the month you stop paying, and you can reapply later at whatever your age and health allow then.
