The short version

  • Only CoverWallet has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Hippo no premium figures are published; the site names only Basic and Enhanced coverage tiers and routes every quote through comparing personalized rates from over 70 carrier partners rather than Hippo's own underwriting; CoverWallet the Internet Archive's capture of CoverWallet's homepage on 19 December 2020 confirmed it operates as 'an Aon company' offering free instant quotes across insurance lines (general liability, workers compensation, business owners policy, cyber liability, D&O) rather than any published price list.
  • They diverge on capability: Hippo covers Personalized quotes, CoverWallet covers Quote comparison.
