What Are the Key Differences Between Marsh and TechInsurance Tech E&O Insurance?
Small-Firm Bundle vs Custom Programs for Large Risks
TechInsurance bundles two policies, tech E&O and cyber, for software developers, MSPs, SaaS firms, IT consultants, app developers, data centers and cybersecurity firms, and reports its customers' median premium at $67 a month, about $807 a year. Marsh treats tech E&O as a specialty in its professional-liability practice and says off-the-shelf forms weren't built for the scale of modern data centers, so it designs programs combining tech E&O with property and casualty. Choose TechInsurance if you're a small IT or software business; choose Marsh if you run large infrastructure or need a program designed around your exposures. [5] [4] [8]
Defined Coverage With an IP Gap vs No Published Terms
TechInsurance's E&O policy covers errors, undelivered services, missed deadlines, budget overruns and breach of contract; its cyber policy covers breaches of your systems and clients' systems you worked on. IP and copyright disputes aren't automatic and usually need an add-on. Marsh publishes no coverage terms, prices or limits for tech E&O, so you'll only see them in its proposal. [8] [5]
