The short version

  • Only Haven Life has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Openly available in only 24 states as of August 2026, with Nevada still listed as coming soon; Haven Life stopped accepting new applications on 12 January 2024. MassMutual wound the business down, citing low consumer adoption and high customer acquisition costs
