As catalogued
Free US online marketplace where consumers compare auto insurance quotes, monetised by selling consumer referrals to carriers and agents.
2026 reality
EverQuote is a Nasdaq-listed online insurance marketplace that describes itself as an AI-powered growth solutions partner for P&C insurers. FY2025 revenue was USD 693 million (+13.7%), 91% from automotive insurance providers; about 6,000 agencies were enrolled at year-end 2025, with home and renters as its other vertical.
The referral-fee marketplace model remains substantially intact, with growth concentrated in auto (91% of 2025 revenue, up from 89% in 2024) and a large agent channel; corporate messaging now emphasises an AI-powered growth engine for carriers and agents.
focusing on P&C, where carrier advertising demand is largest, and framing the platform as AI-driven targets carrier marketing budgets rather than consumer comparison per se.
among the largest US online insurance lead marketplaces; scale of consumer traffic and bidding data is the moat.
Third taxonomy
REVIEW · Verified FY2025 revenue, cash flow and debt (investor site) and the 10-K's 91% auto share and ~6,000 agencies. Changed strategic evolution from 'expanded' to 'retained' (no new lines, geographies or segments evidenced; AI messaging alone is not a model change) and cleared business-model-shift accordingly; 10-K filing day not confirmed, milestone date set to 2026.
