# Leaky

> 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 coverage scenarios, and monitor their policies for savings.
> The comparison engine was built by reverse-engineering the pricing models of
> more than 100 insurers from publicly-available government filings. Leaky ceased
> auto-insurance operations on 2013-08-31 and its commercial-insurance business
> was acquired by Navion Insurance. The company was backed by 500 Global
> (500 Startups).
