Fabric is the digital term life brand of Gerber Life, part of Western & Southern Financial Group, and it is built explicitly around parents. Terms run from 10 to 30 years with coverage from $100,000 to $5 million, the highest ceiling among the app-first options on this list. Fabric says qualified applicants can get instant coverage without a medical exam and that the application can take as little as 10 minutes, with a licensed team available if you need help. It publishes a starting price of $7.85 a month for a 25-year-old woman with $100,000 in coverage. A price lock guarantee keeps the premium fixed as long as you pay, there is a 30-day money back guarantee, and you can cancel any time with no hidden fees. The same app offers free wills and custodial investment accounts for children. The main caveat is that the no-exam path is not guaranteed, and some sample pricing on the page dates from 2024. We compared documented features and published prices.
