The Warranta verdict
Liberty Home Guard leads on customer-service sentiment (an A BBB rating and a 4.2 service score) and a wide add-on catalog, while Cinch carries much higher aggregate annual limits (up to $10,000/yr) and an established contractor network. Pick Liberty if responsive support and add-on flexibility matter and you accept a $2,000 per-item cap; pick Cinch if high payout limits for a major repair year are the priority and you accept its $100 to $150 service fee.
