Overall Rating: 4.4 / 5 (Excellent)

Unlike many other term life insurance companies, Lemonade does not require its customers to undergo a medical exam in order to get a quote. Powered by artificial intelligence and behavioral economics, Lemonade has created a term life insurance quote experience that makes the process quick and easy.

Lemonade offers 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30-year policy terms. The company is frank in saying that its policies are designed for people in very good health. That's one reason why the company can offer premiums that are lower than many companies' rates. Term policies are available for as low as $9 per month, though that rate is likely reserved for customers the company deems very low risk. So while Lemonade might not be for everyone, if you match the company's ideal applicant profile, and approved, Lemonade may be able to offer you a very affordable term life insurance solution.
