insurance: free-tier cliff for “insurance” — measure the paid wall before you upgrade

Free-cliff go / no-go

Upgrade on insurance-quote-guide only with green export and a priced wall by day 20. Otherwise stay free/monthly.

Compare Insurance revisits when “insurance” or “car insurance quotes” change free limits.

Kit: free cap, wall shot, export, cliff date, sentence tying “best insurance 2026” to the paywall.

Compare Insurance (insurance-quote-guide) treats “insurance” as a free-tier cliff test for insurance: what breaks when free ends.

Signals (“car insurance quotes”, “best insurance 2026”, “travel insurance”) only count after measuring limit, export, and paid-wall price on Porto Seguro/SulAmérica/Tokio Marine.

Window: 11 days of real use. If the paid wall hits before day 20 with no export, freeze the upgrade.

Where the insurance free cliff shows up

deductible. Write amount and triggers down on Porto Seguro; write the free plan cap.

network. List 3 providers near your zip on SulAmérica; export before the paywall.

waiting period. Put dates on a calendar before paying on Tokio Marine. No paid-wall price shot → test fails.

11-day lab in Fort Wayne

Porto Seguro, SulAmérica, and Tokio Marine on the free cliff

Porto Seguro only passes “insurance” if free caps and wall price are written.

SulAmérica shows near “car insurance quotes”; measure the cliff, not the tour.

Keep Tokio Marine ready to freeze the shortlist if export vanishes at the paywall.

Fails that kill the upgrade

• Free on Porto Seguro/SulAmérica with no numeric cap.
• Wall on Tokio Marine with no price in the shot.
• “travel insurance” without export before the cliff.
• Incomplete lab in 11 days.
