“In the rare instances when I have found a discrepancy between Compulife software, and a particular Insurance company's software, 90% of the time (and I know this is hard to believe), Compulife has been correct and the carrier's OWN SOFTWARE was wrong about their own pricing.“

### "I have used Compulife Software for over 25 years (it was DOS back then). Best product out there."

July 17, 2018

5.0

Pros

I love both the ability to customize quotes (companies quoted, products quoted, and a myriad of display options) and the preferred health analyzer. For example, with the analyzer you can actually see why company 'X' won't offer a certain rate class by simply mousing over the red x next to the quote. I can tell my client that we need to go with company 'y' because the will give him P+ but for company 'x' his weight is too high or family history, or meds, or whatever will disqualify him for that rate. It's easy to use and a great tool. But Compulife is more than just software, it's Bob Barney and his team. Over the past decades Bob as always made him himself available to answer any questions or concerns. Being able to talk directly with the head guy provides value to me. There simply is no better product on the market.

Cons

Years back I had some 'eye candy' issues integrating the software into my website but that has been corrected for the most part now.

### "Quickest, easiest way to compare multiple insurance companies prices for client presentation."

July 10, 2018

5.0

Pros

Excellent developer support. Responsive by telephone or email when (rarely!) problems do come up. Push updates as frequently as daily lets me know that my rates are up to date. Explanations of changes on those updates are sometimes more timely than direct carrier communication about pricing changes. We have been recipients several times of the 10% discount offered for being the first to provide information about rate updates, the rare software errors, and underwriting criteria for the Preferred Health Analyzer function. That Preferred Health Analyzer is way easier & much quicker than going through the underwriting guides for every carrier. This is my Go To tool.

Cons

An update to output graphics and font might be nice. However I do understand that it has been designed for ease of use by many users of various abilities and varying technology platforms.

### "The Only System You Need"

September 6, 2018

5.0

My agency has been an MGA since 1980 and was the first Canadian subscriber of Compulife. We have looked at and tried numerous other programs over the years; but, always found Compulife to be the best. We have been involved in the creation of numerous products for various carriers over the past three decades and have always insisted any new product be launched on Compulife.

Pros

Compulife has always been found to be the most up to-date and reliable comparison system in the Canadian market. Whenever an error, such as listing a product incorrectly, has been discovered Team has always contacted the carrier to verify the facts and promptly corrected the matter when required.The program is very user friendly and an absolute necessity for any advisor.

Cons

Some carriers weren't cooperative in submitting details to be listed on Compulife.

### "An invaluable tool for presenting options to our clients/prospects."

August 9, 2018

5.0

Pros

CompuLife enables us to serve our clients and prospects better by allowing us to show our customers a comparison of several companies and products in just a few minutes. It less us become more efficient because we’re able to answer any questions they might have right then and there. The ability to customize companies and products quoted as well as the preferred health analyzer is such a useful feature because then I can tell my customer why one option is better for them than others. Bob Barney and his team at CompuLife are great at keeping their users informed and updated so we can provide the best service to our own customers. They are always easy to reach out to and having that sort of direct access to the actual people who are at the helm of the product’s development is a great value for us.

Cons

A more modern look to the graphics would definitely be nice. However, as I understand they purposely keep it simple that way to make it easier for people using various technology platforms to be able to have the exact same user experience.

### "Been using Compulife for many, many years. It's the quickest way I know to run life insurance quote"

July 2, 2018

5.0

Pros

I've always liked the expansive list of carriers and the ease by which a quick quote can be generated. The toggle switch is a great feature which allows me to check other carriers that I am not currently contracted with. In my opinion, Compulife is the best and fastest life insurance quote engine on the market and perfect for any Agent, General Agent or Brokerage General Agent.

Cons

There is nothing about Compulife software that I dislike. Having access to a life insurance quote engine that automatically updates and provides accurate quotes with the least amount of effort is all I ask for. Compulife fits the bill economically.

### "We have been using Compulife for many years and would not change"

July 11, 2018

5.0

Best way to provide accurate quotes for term and UL product comparisons.

Pros

The software includes many features that most agents will ignore like conversion option end dates for term products, and guaranteed UL premiums to 85, 90, and 100. It is not easy to get information like that from most carriers and CSR has done a spectacular job providing these details.

Cons

It can take some time to figure out the best way to use the software as there are many ways to present the quotes. I suggest calling cust support for guidance as to how to use the software for your particular practice as he can send you some examples that will work for you.

### "I have used the Compulife software personally for over 20 years and give it a huge thumbs up!"

July 3, 2018

5.0

Pros

I like everything about the software. It is able to search and show me the best policies for my customers in seconds. It is also mobile friendly. It allows me to save huge amounts of time comparing policies. The customer service is outstanding. It has helped me earn thousands of dollars of the course of my career. It is very cost effective. I can't say enough good things about Compulife.

Cons

I honestly can not thing of anything I like least about this software. The ease of use, the price, the time saved, the customer service are all top notch.

### "Compulife Quote makes my job easier."

July 26, 2018

5.0

Pros

It's fast, easy to use and accurate. Rate and product updates are frequent and automatic. It has paid for itself with leads I have received from term4sale.ca. Compulife web software allows my prospective clients to get initial quotes from my website. Support is excellent. It's easy to talk with a real person if necessary, but most questions are quickly answered by email. I consider it an essential tool for my business to grow.

Cons

I have no "Cons" to report. The software is everything I need it to be.

### "Best life insurance quoting software available"

July 2, 2018

5.0

makes my job much easier

Pros

Been using compulife for over 20 years now. Makes doing business much easier for me and I have not found any other quoting software that offers quotes from as many companies as compulife. Team provides excellent customer service.

Cons

Would like if they provided table ratings for all companies they quote as I know of one of their competitors that does, but this competitor only quotes much fewer insurance companies/rates.

### "We've been using Compulife for over 14 years. It is my go-to term quoter."

July 5, 2018

5.0

It is a huge time saver. I can run several quotes per minute even if they have some minor health or build issues.

Pros

I have the Compulife Quotation System open all day. It is extremely user-friendly and I can fire off quotes in seconds. Compulife does a great job keeping rates up to date as carriers make changes. The Preferred Health Analyzer is another key feature that helps me take the guesswork out of how to accurately quote someone with family history or questionable build, as well as other minor impairments, etc.

Cons

I wish all of the insurers would get on board with some of their UL solves, like short pay (10-20pay) or limited guarantees (A95 or A100 vs. A121) on their permanent products. Those not showing are really missing out.

### "As one of the first users of Compulife in the 80's i can say Use the best, forget the rest."

July 6, 2018

4.0

saves time which is money and you make money.

Pros

Ease of use. versatility, accuracy, pick 12. it is NEVER incorrect. do yourself a favor and buy it NOW. if you sell term insurance a lot or a little it'll be the best money you spend on support software. if you like forthrightness and honesty he is your man.

Cons

let me think about it, ok, i've thought about it. there is nothing about Compulife that i dislike. our office has done hundreds of thousands of illustrations over the last 33 years using it and written tons of term. get it, use it. you'll make money.

### "CompuLife is a trustworthy and reliable company. Value well exceeds cost!!!"

July 11, 2018

5.0

Pros

The software enable the agent to run a quote thru various carriers in one shot. This enables the agent to compare the various costs of the various carriers. You can print this out for an honest presentation. I've had my license for over 20 years, I regret not knowing about this sooner.

Cons

No issues with the software, this issue is with certain carriers that do not participate. Most of your whole life carriers are not available on the site, again it has nothing to do with compulife. I know I called the carriers.

### "I'm a BGA; my employees and I have been using Compulife for 20+ years."

July 6, 2018

5.0

Pros

I've tried other systems but we stay with Compulife as our primary spreadsheet quoting system because it's so simple, accurate and easy to use. In addition, anytime I find an error or need help; I've found both to be very "High Touch" (easy to reach and very responsive).

Cons

It doesn't allow for a Children's Insurance Riders to be added to quotes nor does it provide pricing for rated cases.

### "Been a subscriber for years This software has made me the most money of any software have owned"

July 10, 2018

5.0

It helps make me money, spreadsheets products so I can explain options to the buyer and that the least costly product may not be the best one. I have been in the insurance business 44 years and have seen it all.

Pros

Ease of use, access to other insurance company forms, alternative modes of premium payment, company ratings and convertibility maximum ages. If ever a problem solutions and answers are very quick.

Cons

There is nothing about this software that I do not like. I have used it for years and other competitive software just does not work as well for me.

### "I don't know the exact date I became a customer but my estimate is at least 20 consecutive years."

July 3, 2018

5.0

It simplifies my life by providing tremendous amounts of policy information instantly available.

Pros

The information is always up-to-date so I have 100% confidence when I am quoting it to my clients. It provides complete market research in just a few minutes. There are many financial calculators included that I use on several times every week.

Cons

I would like an easier method to export the information to Excel and options to make information more client presentable.

Pros

Ease of use, accuracy, always there and the updates have kept me well informed of what's happening among insurers.

Cons

No "cons". I don't like paying a year but at the same time many of the competition don't want to invest that much in their business. Makes it better for me.

### "Incredible product. Amazing value."

June 3, 2020

5.0

I've been a subscriber since the early 1990's. The product has always been easy to use, and incredibly valuable in my practice. Ownership is responsive (yes, the \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] actually picks up the phone when you call them), and they listen to all feedback. Much of my feedback has been the catalyst for improvements to the product over the past 30 years. What amazes me is that the product provides so much information for so little money, it's hard to fathom any independent life insurance agent not having it. In the rare instances when I have found a discrepancy between Compulife software, and a particular Insurance company's software, 90% of the time (and I know this is hard to believe), Compulife has been correct and the carrier's OWN SOFTWARE was wrong about their own pricing. I am eternally grateful to \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] and Compulife for making my life easy as I demonstrate to clients that I have access to pricing, features, and ratings information on hundreds of life insurance products so that I, and my agents, can make meaningful recommendations as to which represent the best values. Compulife makes it easy to look like a genius. If you're equivocating, feel free to contact me and I can share my experience.

Pros

Easy to learn. Easy to use. Incredibly powerful tool to help clients and make money.

Cons

I have no complaints whatsoever. Product is fabulous.

Reason for choosing Compulife Quote Software

Value, reliability, power.

### "Easy to use product with fantastic customer service"

July 2, 2018

5.0

It allows to me stay up to date with every single company and all the underwriting and premium changes, including sorting by build, family Hx, and other UW factors. No more binders with UW guides, I only use CompuLife.

Pros

It's easy to use and reliable. We've used CompuLife since the mid-90s and appreciate the consistent excellent service and accurate information. The customer representative are incredibly responsive and have a great product.

Cons

Nothing to dislike, it works perfectly for me. Some people might see the interface as somewhat DOS based, to me this is a good thing as it is fast to load and quick to work, not wasting a lot of computer energy on pretty pictures, it's simple.

### "I have 28+ years as a life general agent and depend on the Compulife software daily."

July 3, 2018

5.0

It helps us show consumers that we do our shopping for them. We can show not only carriers we represent but if needed can refer them to a carrier who may better address their needs. Having CL as a resource makes us better at our job of insuring families and businesses.

Pros

Compulife's regular updates keep me informed, up to date and in the best position to serve our agents, clients and prospects. Underwriting input is also available for quick rate class qualifications. It is a simple product to learn and use. Comparisons can be easily adjusted for short quotes to all years type of output. Compulife's competitive pricing makes it easy to afford and with a free trial available I often refer agents I work with so they too can compare term and UL rates.

Cons

It would be "nice" if all carriers would simply "get on board" and provide rate updates, underwriting criteria and forms directly to Compulife. Many/most carriers do it for at least one competitor even pay to have their information kept current. Compulife simply does it for the agents to best serve their clients and prospects. Come on carriers, get on board with Compulife!

### "A CAREER saver-and the best tool in your 'toolbox'!!"

September 13, 2018

5.0

Compulife gives me a 'one stop shopping' capability with prospects that, to my knowledge, is not available anywhere else... I don't want to give away my 'secrets', but if not for Compulife, I'd probably have ended up as a greeter at WalMart....'nuff said? Keep up the good work, guys... it is appreciated more than you know.

Pros

Ease of use and the fact that, in over 18 years since I first began using Compulife, even though I'm sure much has changed on the 'backend' of the program, the front end or 'user face' hasn't, meaning old gods like me don't have to learn new tricks! Service from Customer Rep and 'company' has been excellent and consistent. I cannot tell you how many sales (some VERY large 5 figure ones) were made using Compulife. If you don't have it, well, that's YOUR loss...

Cons

Honestly, after being out of the biz for about 10 years (for personal reasons) and just coming back, I have yet to find anything I didn't like... it's still the same- nothing 'new' to learn! I believe a tool to show people the actual 'APR' savings of going ahead with an annual premium versus monthly would be nice, but hey- you can't have it all, right?
