Overview

About Everdays

Everdays is a digital life insurance platform that removes the two things people most dislike about buying cover: the medical exam and the wait. Licensed agents use its quoting technology to personalise options over a short phone call, and around 90% of applicants get an approval decision within minutes, with no exam or blood samples. Alongside the web platform, its iOS application guides users through planning for retirement, future care and end of life across three paths — Life & Vitality, Health & Care, and Final Wishes.

  • Whole life cover up to $100k for end-of-life expenses including funeral costs and debt resolution.
  • Term life cover up to $2 million for income replacement, mortgage and tuition.
  • No medical exams or blood samples, with instant approval available.
  • Around 90% of applicants qualify, often knowing within minutes.
  • $200B in total assets backing policies across carriers including Banner Life, TruStage and American Amicable.
  • iOS app covering three planning paths: Life & Vitality, Health & Care, and Final Wishes.

The problem

What the platform had to solve

Buying life insurance had traditionally meant paperwork, a medical exam, and weeks of waiting for a decision — a process bad enough that many people who intend to buy cover never finish. Compressing that into minutes is not simply a UX exercise: it requires integrating carrier quoting, running accelerated underwriting that can decide without medical evidence, and doing all of it inside a regulatory regime that varies by US state and governs how a prospect may even be contacted.

Challenges

What made it difficult

Insurance is regulated state by state

Which products may be sold, by whom, and on what terms varies across US states — Everdays carries individual state licences. State is therefore a structural input to the product, not a field on a form, and it shapes what a prospect can even be shown.

How you may contact a lead is itself regulated

Telephone outreach to consumers falls under TCPA and Do Not Call rules, which require specific, recorded consent. That has to be captured and evidenced correctly at the point of enquiry, because getting it wrong carries statutory penalties rather than a bad review.

Minutes, not weeks

An approval decision inside a phone call means quoting and accelerated underwriting have to run against carrier systems in real time. Any latency in that chain is felt directly by someone waiting on the line.

Multiple carriers, one experience

Options are drawn from several insurers, each with its own products, eligibility rules and interfaces. The customer should see one coherent set of choices rather than the seams between providers.

A subject people avoid thinking about

End-of-life planning is emotionally difficult, and the app's own framing is about guiding users pleasantly through it. Tone and pacing carry real weight when the alternative is the user closing the tab.

Solution

How we approached it

  1. 01

    Agent-assisted digital flow

    A model that keeps a licensed human in the loop while the software does the quoting — a few questions on a call, then personalised options generated against carrier products.

  2. 02

    Compliant lead capture

    Enquiry handling that collects state, age and contact details alongside the explicit consent language telephone outreach requires, recorded at the point of submission.

  3. 03

    Carrier integration

    Quoting across multiple insurers surfaced as one comparable set of options rather than as separate provider journeys.

  4. 04

    iOS planning application

    A native application organising a difficult subject into three navigable paths, with plans that can be shared with family and memorials created alongside them.

  5. 05

    Multi-channel entry

    Form, live chat and phone offered in parallel, because a customer weighing life cover often wants to speak to a person rather than complete a funnel.

Architecture

How the system fits together

The structural decisions behind the platform.

  1. 01

    A quoting layer sitting between the customer-facing surfaces and multiple carrier systems, so several insurers present as one comparable set of options.

  2. 02

    Accelerated underwriting that returns a decision inside a phone conversation rather than a multi-week cycle.

  3. 03

    State handling threaded through the product, because licensing determines what may be offered where.

  4. 04

    Consent capture recorded at the point of enquiry to satisfy telephone-outreach requirements.

  5. 05

    A native iOS client sharing the same account and plan data as the web platform.

  • 01

    What is Everdays?

    A digital life insurance platform offering whole life cover up to $100k and term life up to $2 million, sold through licensed agents using its own quoting technology. Its iOS app additionally guides users through planning for retirement, future care and end of life.

  • 02

    How does approval happen without a medical exam?

    Through accelerated underwriting — the carrier reaches a decision from the application and available data rather than requiring an exam or blood samples. Everdays reports that around 90% of applicants qualify, often knowing within minutes.

  • 03

    What makes insurance software harder than it looks?

    The regulation sits inside the product rather than around it. Insurance is licensed state by state in the US, which determines what can be offered to whom, and telephone outreach to prospects is separately governed by consent rules. Both shape the data model and the enquiry flow, not just the legal footer.

  • 04

    What does the iOS app do?

    It organises planning into three paths — Life & Vitality, Health & Care, and Final Wishes — with account management, the ability to share plans with family, insurance options aligned to those plans, and memorial creation. It holds a 4.6 rating across 991 App Store reviews.
