Hello Lexie
Life insurance cannot be treated like a commodity where quality is an issue. It is based on value of money upon death. Term life insurance is probably the cheapest available life insurance that is offered in the market because it is under the temporary life insurance category. The other option is permanent category which allows you to permanently pay a premium for the insurance plus investment. This means that you will be paying for two things in permanent life insurance: the insurance and investment. There will be cash value in permanent life insurance which can be withdrawn if you need to.
The term life insurance on the other hand, is purely life insurance. This means that you are paying only for the life coverage. The term life insurance face amount will go to your beneficiary if you die. Plus, this will happen within a certain term. In other words, you pay a premium in term life insurance, say, for a year. If you will not die within that year then you get nothing. What happens if you die within that year? Your beneficiary will receive the payout. Term life insurance is essentially just an isurance policy by terms or period. It will be more affordable than the permanent life insurance which requires constant payment of premium with investment aspect.
