Who it's not for	Businesses shopping for B2B software . consumer-only	Non-UK residents . UK market only
Privacy	No recent breaches found in sources; one 2013 login-flaw report and no public security page.^⁶	SSL in place and no open vulnerabilities found; a past data breach led to compensation claims coverage.¹⁶
Support quality	No support evidence in sources	4.7 Trustpilot vs 3.5 elsewhere
Public sentiment	Users generally find comparisons quick and smooth, but some report quotes not matching final policy terms.^¹	Trustpilot reviewers rate it 4.7/5 for quick quotes, while PissedConsumer reviewers average a lower 3.5/5.¹²
