What Are the Key Differences Between Chubb and Coverdash Tech E&O Insurance?

Buy Online as a Small Tech Firm vs a Combined Policy Through an Agent

Coverdash, acting as your broker, runs quote to purchase fully online for SaaS companies, dev shops, IT providers and consultants, and lets you add general liability or cyber in the same flow. Chubb writes tech E&O only inside DigiTech ERM, combined with media and cyber, and agents quote it through Chubb's Cyber Central or Marketplace for software developers, tech-services firms and hardware makers. Choose Coverdash if you're a small tech company that wants cover online today; choose Chubb if you want tech, media and cyber from one major insurer through your agent. [7] [8] [2] [5]

Everyday Software Claims vs Broader Product-Failure Terms

Coverdash covers claims that your software didn't perform as promised, a project was late or missed spec, or client data was mishandled, and pays defense even on groundless claims. Chubb adds third-party financial loss from products or services, a broadened "technology incident," software copyright infringement and product-recall loss of use, with no exclusion for delays or failure to deliver.

What Should You Confirm in Chubb and Coverdash Tech E&O Insurance Quotes?

  • Ask Coverdash which insurer issues the policy. [7]
  • Get limits and retentions from both; neither publishes them. [7] [2]
  • If you add cyber through Coverdash, check whether it's a separate policy with its own limit. [7] [2]
  • Find a Chubb agent if you want DigiTech ERM; you can't buy it directly. [5]

Coverdash lets SaaS companies, dev shops, IT providers and consultants quote and buy Tech E&O online, adding general liability or cyber if needed. Chubb sells tech E&O only inside DigiTech ERM, a combined E&O, media and cyber policy that agents quote for software, tech-services and hardware firms.
