Compare Two Life Insurance Policies on Real Value

Two life cover quotes, and the cheaper monthly figure is pulling you in before you have checked what it actually buys. This compares the sum assured, the term, level versus decreasing cover, and how broadly any critical illness definitions are written. The headline price is rarely the real difference, and this is how you find the one that is.

**Compare the policies on what actually matters:**
1. Compare the total sum assured, policy term, and whether the cover is level or decreasing
2. Compare the definitions of critical illness cover if included (how broadly is a claim trigger defined?)
3. Check the financial strength rating of each insurer
4. Compare the exclusions listed in each policy
5. Calculate the total cost over the full policy term and the cost per pound of cover
