What Are the Key Differences Between Alliance Risk and Corgi Tech E&O Insurance?

Instant Online Quote vs Broker Submission

Corgi sells Tech E&O as a standalone instant-quote policy and includes it in every startup package from pre-seed and seed up. Alliance Risk specializes in placing Tech E&O and takes your contract and claims-history details to technology E&O insurers it doesn't name. Choose Corgi if you're an early-stage startup that wants cover bound online today and can add the endorsements you need; choose Alliance Risk if you need AI-output errors covered in the base form, higher limits, or a review of your existing policy. [2] [5] [4]

Base Form vs Add-Ons

Corgi's standard policy excludes claims arising solely from breach of contract or SLA failure, IP infringement, data-breach liability and AI-related claims unless you add them by endorsement. Alliance Risk describes Tech E&O as covering failure to perform and errors in deliverables, including AI outputs that are wrong or biased, but excluding cyberattacks. [5] [2]

Limits, Retentions and Services

Corgi shows illustrative limits of $1 million per claim and $2 million aggregate with a $10,000 retention, and defense costs reduce the limit. Alliance Risk describes typical limits from $250K/$500K to $2M/$3M+ with a $2,500 small-firm deductible, and offers a free policy review. [5] [2]

What Should You Confirm in Alliance Risk and Corgi Tech E&O Insurance Quotes?

  • Ask Corgi which endorsements are on your quote: AI, IP, contract/SLA, data breach or subcontracted services. [5]
  • Ask Corgi which insurer issues your policy. It mainly uses Technology Risk Retention Group, a member-owned insurer with no AM Best rating; if a client contract requires a rated insurer, ask for its A- or better partner insurers instead. [5]
  • Ask Alliance Risk which insurer it's proposing. [2]
  • Compare retentions: Corgi's illustrative $10,000 versus Alliance Risk's $2,500 small-firm example. [5] [2]
