Cons Explained :

Ladder only offers term life insurance and does not offer full or universal life insurance. You’ll have to search elsewhere if you want whole life, universal life, or a guaranteed issue insurance.

There are no riders available on Ladder’s term insurance contracts.No coverage after the age of 70: Between the ages of 20 and 60, you can get coverage for term lengths ranging from 10 to 30 years.

You cannot, however, select a term that offers coverage beyond the age of 70, which is the coverage limit. So, if you’re 57 years old, you’ll only be able to buy a 10-year term insurance that lasts until you’re 67 years old.
