Company profile
researched Sep 2026Habit (Habit Analytics) is an insurtech that operates a unified insurance distribution platform. According to CTT, it is the only platform combining a single insurance-distribution API with an orchestration technology that, independently of the insurer or the insurance product, gives distribution partners full control over the policy lifecycle while reducing IT effort and enabling faster go-to-market.
The company also runs a real-time data intelligence platform exposed through APIs and SDKs. Its documentation describes a Selfcare project-management tool for creating a branded mobile app, viewing and managing customers, and integrating and managing IoT devices; an open-source white-label mobile app for Android and iOS that partners can use instead of, or alongside, embedding Habit features into an existing app via the API; and the HabitAnalytics mobile SDK for Android and iOS, shipped with a demo app, for gathering analytics information. The platform is pre-integrated with connected devices and states that other IoT device vendors can be integrated, with self-service integration documentation available.
Business model
Habit supplies technology to distribution partners and insurers: a unified insurance distribution API plus an orchestration layer, alongside a developer platform of APIs and SDKs, a white-label or embeddable mobile app, and a Selfcare project-management tool used to create branded apps, manage customers and integrate IoT devices.
