Insurance
Comparison
Ditto Insurance vs traditional brokers
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:
| Dimension | Ditto | Traditional broker |
|---|---|---|
| Sales pressure | Low | Often high |
| Product range | Curated, AAA+ insurers | Wide, including riskier insurers |
| Advisory bias | Education-first | Commission-driven sometimes |
| Fees | Commission from insurer | Commission from insurer |
| Mobile-first | Yes | Varies |
| Recommendation logic | Need-based | Often product-led |
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.
