What happened to Upsie?<\/h3>\n

As of October 13, 2023, there has been confirmation that the extended warranty and protection plan service provider, Upsie<\/a>, has closed its doors. Upsie was founded in 2013, offering extended warranties and protection plans for a variety of gadgets and appliances.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What do I do if I am a current Upsie customer?<\/h3>\n

For current Upsie customers, it’s important to note that you can still visit Upsie.com to file a claim, as all protection plans they sold were backed by separate entities and insurance providers, ensuring the continuity of coverage for any customers who purchased protection through Upsie.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nHowever, with Upsie no longer accepting new customers, many people may be left wondering where to turn for affordable and reliable device protection. Upsie was a proponent for more customer-centric alternatives for device protection, much like AKKO.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Where can I now go for device protection?<\/h3>\n

At AKKO, protection offerings are more catered to bundled protection plans that deliver even further value and simplicity for consumers who need to protect their cellphones and other personal and home electronics. You can refer to one of AKKO\u2019s past articles on some <\/span>differences between Upsie and AKKO\u2019s protection<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nAKKO is one of the leading device insurance providers in America, with the highest ratings of any provider on <\/span>Trustpilot<\/span><\/a>, and top rankings from <\/span>Investopedia<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Benzinga<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Gadget Review<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Android Central<\/span><\/a>, and many other reviewers.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With AKKO, consumers can protect a single cellphone starting from $5\/mo all the way up to protecting all of their cellphones and electronics in their household for only $50\/mo.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
