The [best life insurance company](https://www.policygenius.com/life-insurance/life-insurance-quotes/) for you depends on a number of factors, including your age, gender, overall health profile, and financial needs.

## Our top picks for the best life insurance companies

### Methodology

How we ranked the top insurers

Our recommendations are based on internal and external expert analysis, as well as our [Policygenius Life Insurance Price Index](https://www.policygenius.com/life-insurance/life-insurance-price-index/), which uses real-time data from leading life insurance companies to determine pricing trends. When reviewing a life insurance company, our [editorial team](https://www.policygenius.com/about/editorial-standards/#editorial-leadership) uses a proprietary scoring rubric with five factors — price, policy details, financial strength, transparency, and customer experience — to assign an unbiased rating between one and five stars. These ratings are also taken into consideration as part of our company recommendations. We don’t get paid for our reviews.

Our evidence-based reviews and recommendations can help you find a reliable insurer for your family’s financial protection, but the best life insurance company for you depends on multiple factors. A licensed agent at Policygenius can support you during the application process to ensure you get the right life insurance coverage for your circumstances at the most affordable price. At Policygenius, our experts are licensed in all 50 states and can walk you through the entire life insurance buying process while offering transparent, unbiased advice.

## How to choose the right life insurance company for you

The best insurer for you might not be the best insurer for someone else. Your age, health, and ultimate needs for coverage are some factors to consider when shopping for life insurance to make sure your policy is the best fit for you.

“Selecting the best policy is like any other important purchase you make, you want to make sure that the life insurance company you select is the best option for your specific situation and needs,” says Christopher Galvez, licensed life insurance agent at Policygenius. “And that is exactly what we do for the families we serve on every single policy. We look at 10 to 12 different insurers and their different guidelines to advise where you will find the best fit. Finding the best policy and value has not been easier.”

1. Consider any health conditions Not all life insurance companies treat all health conditions the same way when it comes to setting rates. It’s important to consider your unique health profile when shopping for a policy because you could end up paying much cheaper premiums with one insurance company than another.

2. Consider your age Age is one of the biggest factors that influence your life insurance rates. Age can also impact what [types of life insurance](https://www.policygenius.com/life-insurance/types-of-life-insurance/) options are available to you because we all become riskier to insure as we get older. For example, no-medical-exam options for seniors can be limited because insurance companies want to minimize risk.

3. Explore policy options & ridersRiders are policy add-ons that offer supplemental coverage under special circumstances — for example, if you’re diagnosed with a [critical illness](https://www.policygenius.com/life-insurance/critical-illness-rider/) or if you want to extend coverage to a family member, like a child or your spouse. But not all riders are cost-efficient and not all policies offer every type of rider, so working with a non-commissioned agent or independent broker can be helpful if you’re considering which riders might be useful for you, if any.

4. Consider the company’s financial strength Arguably the most important piece of choosing your life insurance company is knowing that they’ll be around and able to pay the proceeds to your loved ones if you should pass away. Applying with a company that has strong [financial ratings](https://www.policygenius.com/life-insurance/reviews/methodology/) will help ensure this. That doesn’t necessarily mean choosing the [biggest life insurance company](https://www.policygenius.com/life-insurance/biggest-life-insurance-companies/), though larger insurers tend to have bigger cash reserves.

5. Consider customer satisfaction Over the lifetime of your policy, you might need to change payment frequency, a beneficiary, or a number of other details on your paperwork. It’s important to have resources for customer service to make sure you’re up-to-date with your policy. A company with strong customer satisfaction ratings can benefit you in this way. This is another reason why working with an independent broker like Policygenius can help you get access to support for the entire duration of your policy — not just when you apply.
