About EverQuote, Inc.
About EverQuote, Inc.
EverQuote runs an online insurance marketplace that generates revenue by referring qualified consumer inquiries to roughly 60 carriers and 6,000 agents, with automotive insurance referrals alone accounting for 91% of total revenue in 2025 versus 89% in 2024. The company's two largest insurance-carrier customers made up 38% and 11% of 2025 revenue, respectively, and its marketplace reaches consumers through owned websites, a call center, and third-party publisher traffic.
EverQuote's revenue model is purely referral-based: insurance providers pay for consumer inquiries delivered as clicks, data leads, or calls, with no long-term minimum spend commitments, so carriers and agents can reduce or halt marketing spend at any time without notice. A meaningful share of that spend flows through subsidy payments carriers make on behalf of their affiliated agents — one large carrier customer stopped paying such subsidies altogether in 2023 before partially resuming in 2024. Consumer traffic comes from EverQuote's own websites and call center as well as third-party publishers and verified partners, and a significant portion of total revenue is attributable to visitor traffic originating from those third-party sources rather than owned-and-operated channels, making the business sensitive to publisher pricing and inventory availability. The company has begun extending its data and matching technology from auto insurance into home and renters insurance to diversify beyond its core vertical.
Show full overview
EverQuote's revenue is exposed less to consumer churn than to a small number of large insurance-carrier relationships and the underlying automotive-insurance cycle: 91% of 2025 revenue came from automotive coverage, and the two largest carrier customers alone supplied 38% and 11% of total revenue with no contractual minimum spend obligating either to continue. That combination proved material in 2023, when carriers pulled back marketing budgets industry-wide amid deteriorating underwriting performance and one top customer suspended agent-subsidy payments outright — a pattern the 10-K flags could recur rapidly and without warning given how quickly carriers can reduce their marketplace spend.
