FAQ
COMPULIFE is a software company which has produced life insurance quote software for the U.S. market since 1987. COMPULIFE is a fully independent company.
COMPULIFE is not engaged in the sale of life insurance. Neither COMPULIFE, its owners or employees sell life insurance or have any financial interest in the sale of life insurance. Further, no life insurance company, agency or agent has any financial stake in COMPULIFE. This means that COMPULIFE is the most objective and unbiased provider of term life insurance rate comparison software in the market.
We believe it is. Through the years we have acted to avoid potential conflicts of interest or any appearance of conflict of interest. We believe that you are better off dealing with a company that in no way competes with you or your sale of life insurance. Further, COMPULIFE earns no money, directly or indirectly, from your sale of life insurance. You are at liberty to take full advantage of the competitive marketplace to negotiate top commissions for your sales. You do not have to do business with any particular company or agency to purchase and use the COMPULIFE program. Further, when you purchase the COMPULIFE program your level of service is not better or worse because of any alliance you have with any agency or company.
Absolutely. When a change takes place in the term market COMPULIFE responds instantly to make the appropriate product and/or rate changes to our software. Those changes are then posted to our website where COMPULIFE subscribers can automatically download the changes and update their software to the latest version. Agent changes are posted before the same changes are posted to our www.Term4Sale.com website.
Further, COMPULIFE has an excellent reputation for turning product changes around in a very short time. Through the 35 years we have been in business COMPULIFE has developed the finest rate entry and maintenance tools which permit us to make change fast and easy. No one wants to be quoting yesterday’s rates, most of all COMPULIFE.
COMPULIFE’s existence rises and falls on the quality of our term comparison software. We don’t sell other software or generate revenue from other product lines. The life insurance quote software business reminds me of dairy farming. Most modern dairy farms do not slop hogs or raise chickens. They are completely devoted to dairy farming because it is a challenging and demanding business requiring constant and complete attention. A dairy farmer does not want to be distracted from his job and COMPULIFE is not distracted by other software product lines or business interests.
Through the years COMPULIFE’s best source of information about the market is you, the agent or agency. There is nothing compelling any life insurance company to provide its rates to COMPULIFE. Frequently agents are the quickest to alert us to important changes in product information. Having said that COMPULIFE has developed excellent relationships with many life insurance companies who provide us with rate information in a timely manner. Many life companies have realized that COMPULIFE is independent and objective. COMPULIFE treats all life companies the same. Our dedication to accuracy and timely updates means that we are highly reliable at providing up-to-date and accurate information. Many life companies subscribe to COMPULIFE just to keep up-to-date with their competitors in the market.

COMPULIFE does not provide its agent/agency versions of our comparison software on the Internet for the simple reason that the Internet is not as dependable as using our software on your local computer. Experience has taught us that agents who use COMPULIFE depend on it heavily. Should a communication or website failure occur, you are still able to do immediate quotes with COMPULIFE because it is on your computer. Even agents facing power failures can do quotes providing COMPULIFE is on their battery powered laptop.
COMPULIFE is purchased on a subscription basis. The program resides independently on your computer, and is updated through the internet.
IMPORTANT: You do not need to be connected to the internet in order to quote. You only require the internet to obtain updates to rates and/or improvements to the software.

No. COMPULIFE provides a wide array of comparison options. You can compare premiums on an Accumulated cost basis, for as many years as you like. You can compare based upon the current premiums or the guaranteed premiums. Having said that, COMPULIFE is the first to underline that accumulated cost comparisons are a weak form of measuring future policy costs. That’s why we provide you with two additional future cost comparison methods. There is the PVAC option, which stands for Present Value Accumulated Cost. Future premiums are discounted and accumulated at any interest rate you specify. Alternately, you can use the Interest Adjusted Cost (Payment) Index and compare based upon any time period for either current or guaranteed premiums.
COMPULIFE’s quote software gives you renewal premiums for the life of each term product. You will be able to quickly determine how long initial premiums are guaranteed. You have the option of restricting your quotes to only those products with full guaranteed premiums during the initial level premium period.
No, you specify which companies you want included in your quotes.
What about spreadsheet quotes? Can I place the products I want side by side and customize my quotes?
Yes. COMPULIFE provides the Pick 12 Policy Analysis which allows the creation of customized spreadsheet proposals with up to 12 products, side-by-side. Mix and match any group of products you like. Placing products into the spreadsheet is fast and easy.
Yes, COMPULIFE is a licensed provider of A.M. Best ratings. These are updated as they change and can be included in your quotes.
Yes, there are four analysis tools that come built into the program at no additional charge. The first is called Interest Adjusted Cost Analysis which allows the side by side comparison of any two products, on a year by year basis, with the difference in cost accumulated with interest less tax. Compare two products from within the program, or enter product information manually.
COMPULIFE also provides the Income From Capital Analysis which allows the calculation of the lump sum money needed to provide an income for any period of time. This is an extremely useful tool for demonstrating to insurance prospects, or those planning retirement, how lump sum money is used to pay out income over a period of time. You determine the inflation and interest assumptions used in the calculation.
Retirement Investment Analysis allows you to determine how much an individual needs to invest in order to achieve their retirement saving objective.
Return of Premium Analysis allows you to compare a “Return of Premium” product with a similar product that does not offer return of premium, in order to computer the effective rate of return which would be realized on the difference in cost.
For those with laptop computers, these are powerful “point of sale” needs and product analysis tools.
