# MassMutual vs PolicyZen

MassMutual and PolicyZen both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of PolicyZen's written reviews are positive against 20% of MassMutual's. PolicyZen also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly). MassMutual's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ratings volume (6K vs 2).
