About Zebra

The Zebra is a US auto and home insurance comparison marketplace where users can see real quotes from over 100 insurance companies across all 50 states in under five minutes. It has generated over 18 million insurance quotes since launching in 2012 and does not sell user data to third parties. Users enter their details once and see side-by-side quotes with no hidden fees. Publishers earn $6 for every insurance lead submitted through their affiliate link.

Why Promote This Offer

The Zebra affiliate program pays a CPL of $6 for every insurance lead submitted by a new US user through the platform. As one of the most recognised auto insurance comparison sites in the US with 18 million-plus quotes generated and all 50 states covered, The Zebra gives publishers a credible, high-conversion CPL offer in America's most competitive insurance vertical.

  1. A $6 CPL on a submitted insurance lead is competitive in the US insurance comparison affiliate space, reflecting The Zebra's strong brand trust and the high advertiser value of a verified, completed quote request.
  2. The Zebra's partnerships with 100-plus carriers and its no-data-selling policy give it strong consumer trust that drives higher form completion rates than lesser-known comparison platforms.
  3. Auto insurance is a mandatory recurring purchase for US drivers, creating consistent year-round lead volume independent of seasonal trends or discretionary spending.
  4. The CPL model fires at form completion with no purchase requirement, making it one of the lower-friction conversion events available in the US insurance affiliate vertical.

Promotional Tips

  • Auto insurance comparison content benchmarking The Zebra against Insurify, Jerry, and Gabi on carrier count and quote speed is the strongest acquisition angle - US drivers research which comparison tool gives the most quotes before choosing one.
  • The Zebra's no-data-selling policy is a strong trust differentiator in a vertical where users are wary of spam calls - content highlighting this feature converts strongly with privacy-conscious US insurance shoppers.
  • High-premium state content covering Michigan, Louisiana, and Florida where average auto insurance rates are among the US highest delivers strong lead volume from users most motivated to find cheaper coverage.
  • For media buyers, SEM targeting queries like compare car insurance quotes and best auto insurance comparison site delivers the highest-intent US insurance shoppers who are ready to complete a quote form immediately.

Payment Methods

Publishers are paid through multiple flexible methods including Crypto, Wise, PayPal, Wire Transfer, and more. Payouts are processed on a Net-30 cycle once your earnings clear the minimum payout threshold. Contact your account manager if you need to set up or change your preferred payment method.

FAQs

What counts as a valid lead on The Zebra affiliate program?

A valid lead is a completed auto insurance quote request form submitted by a unique new US user, including their ZIP code, vehicle details, driving history, and coverage preferences. Duplicates and leads from outside the US are rejected during validation.

Does The Zebra pay on lead submission or on policy purchase?

The Zebra pays on lead submission - the $6 CPL fires when a user completes and submits the quote request form, regardless of whether they go on to purchase a policy. This makes it lower-friction than RevShare or policy-sale CPS programs.

Does The Zebra sell users' personal data to third parties?

No. The Zebra explicitly states it does not sell personal information to insurance professionals or third parties without the user's intent to interact with them through the platform. This privacy policy is a key trust differentiator publishers can use in content to drive higher form completion rates.

Is The Zebra available in all 50 US states?

Yes. The Zebra operates across all 50 US states and Washington DC and has generated over 18 million insurance quotes since 2012. The number of carrier quotes available for a specific user may vary depending on their location and driving profile.
