Ditto Insurance uses an advisory-led model where the focus is on educating you about the policy rather than upselling. How it compares to traditional brokers:

How Ditto differs

  • No “premium product” upsell: They explain trade-offs honestly.
  • Curated insurers: Stick to financially strong insurers.
  • Education content: Significant pre-sale education.
  • Specific use cases: Term life and health primarily.

What traditional brokers do better

  • Wide product range: Including ULIPs, endowment, traditional plans (which Ditto often doesn’t recommend).
  • Local presence: Some prefer face-to-face dealing.
  • Specific sectors: Some traditional brokers specialise in niche segments (corporate group, marine, etc.).

Risk

Insurance is a long-term commitment. Picking the right product matters more than picking the cheapest. Read the policy document carefully before buying.
