Leaky was a US auto-insurance comparison service that operated from 2011 until 31 August 2013. It let consumers compare prices and plans across the nation's top insurers, model "what if" coverage scenarios, and keep all of their policy information in one place with alerts when they could save money. The comparison engine was built by reverse-engineering the pricing models of more than 100 insurers from publicly-available government filings rather than by selling user information to carriers. Leaky reported providing over $300 million of auto-insurance quotes and saving its users more than $40 million before it wound down the consumer business; its commercial-insurance business was acquired by Navion Insurance. The company was backed by 500 Global (500 Startups). Leaky is defunct — leaky.com now serves only a static shutdown notice, all user data was deleted at closure, and there is no developer portal, public API, SDK, or discovery surface to catalog.
Leaky is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Insurance, Insurtech, Auto Insurance, and Insurance Comparison.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Insurance regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/leaky: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
