Why you can trust Insurify: As an independent agent and insurance comparison website, Insurify makes money through commissions from insurance companies. However, our expert insurance writers and editors operate independently of our insurance partners. Learn more.

If you’re looking to buy new insurance, comparing quotes is a key step in making sure you get the best rate. Rather than getting quotes from individual providers, drivers can use a quote-comparison site to compare auto insurance quotes side-by-side.

Jerry is one of many quote-comparison sites, but how does it compare to similar companies like Insurify, The Zebra, and Gabi? Let’s explore the differences.

How does Jerry work?

You’ll start by filling out some information about your current coverage and driving history on its website. You’ll need to enter your name and phone number as well, after which Jerry will send you a verification code by text. The company promises to not sell or share your contact information with any external companies or spam you with any phone calls or emails.

You will then input how you primarily use your car and its daily mileage. Users also have the option to choose whether they use their car for rideshare or delivery, and Jerry takes these factors into consideration when calculating quotes.

Finally, Jerry prompts you to select any discounts that might apply to you. However, when the process is finished, Jerry redirects you to download its mobile app to actually see your quotes.

After downloading the Jerry app, you will be prompted to enter your phone number again to create an account, after which you will see various quotes from different insurance companies. If you click on a quote, you’ll see an option labeled: ‘Get final price.’ Once you select this option, Jerry asks you for your license number. Only after entering that can you see your real quote.

From this point on, Jerry puts your insurance shopping on autopilot by automatically shopping for new quotes with more than 50 insurance providers before each renewal. You won’t have to speak to an agent or any salespeople to set up your new policy.

Jerry Reviews: Here's what customers are saying

The bulk of reviews for the company is focused on the mobile app since that is where actual quotes are found. It has mostly good reviews on the Google Play Store and Apple’s App Store (4.1 stars and 4.7 stars, respectively), along with video reviews from customers on its website.

Jerry vs. Insurify: The Facts

Jerry and Insurify both aim to find people the best rates on car insurance, but each company achieves this goal differently. Jerry focuses on providing a quick and easy quote comparison experience on its app, while Insurify lets users compare multiple quotes all on its website.

Insurify is unique among quote-comparison sites in that it has an accuracy estimator that shows how confident Insurify is in the quotes it is showing you. You can also edit your elected insurance coverage after using the tool and see the provided quotes change right along with it.

Jerry vs. Gabi

Jerry and Gabi both offer tools to compare car insurance quotes, but differ slightly in how quotes are delivered. Gabi provides quotes via email after using the tool, while Jerry shows quotes in its app. Both require an account, but Jerry only asks for your phone number rather than your email address.

Jerry’s mobile app offers vehicle management tools like maintenance scheduling, receipt management, and seeing open recalls on your car. The app sets Jerry apart from others in the quote-comparison space, as most quote-comparison platforms do not have mobile apps.

Jerry vs. NerdWallet

Nerdwallet is primarily a personal finance website that focuses on topics like investing, credit cards, and student loans. Unlike Jerry, NerdWallet does not have its own quote-comparison tool and instead redirects users to insure.com to get an actual quote.

How to Save on Car Insurance

The best way to save money on your auto insurance policy is to use quote-comparison tools to compare premiums. Both Jerry and Insurify are insurance quote comparison sites that offer a convenient process by which you can easily identify the cheapest insurance quote for you.

With Insurify, you can compare car insurance rates all on its site without having to download an app. Insurify users can save up to $996 annually by switching to a policy they find on the site. The best part? Insurify is completely free to use and the process only takes about five minutes.
