What Are the Key Differences Between Coalition and Vouch Tech E&O Insurance?

Apply Online Yourself vs Through a Broker With Cyber Attached

Vouch is a broker, not an insurer, that lists Tech E&O among its core coverages for AI, SaaS, eCommerce, fintech, hardware and crypto companies, from first customer contract through IPO, and starts you in an online application. Coalition designs Tech E&O for any business selling a tech product or service for a fee, but sells it only through appointed brokers and only together with Active Cyber Insurance. Choose Vouch if you are a venture-backed startup that wants to apply online; choose Coalition if you also want its cyber policy and Control monitoring and already work with a broker. [4] [11]

What Each Says the Cover Pays For

Vouch's educational article lists service errors, negligence, missed deliverables, breach of contract or warranty, accidental IP infringement and third-party data-breach liability from a product flaw, and excludes bodily injury, intentional wrongdoing, employment claims and cyber incidents on your own systems. Coalition lists bugs, delays, licensed-code IP issues, implementation errors and failures to meet contract requirements, and includes Control monitoring. Vouch's list is general education, so check it against the actual form. [12] [4] [3]

What Should You Confirm in Coalition and Vouch Tech E&O Insurance Quotes?

  • Ask Vouch which insurer would issue your Tech E&O. [11]
  • Ask Coalition's broker which company issues the policy and confirm the cyber pairing and its cost. [5] [4]
  • Check Vouch's listed exclusions against the actual policy form. [12] [4]
  • Get per-claim and aggregate limits on both quotes; neither publishes them. [12] [4]
