Our live fixed annuity rate tables let you shop current rates across 90+ carriers before you ever pick up the phone, and our research tools, including our AI research assistant, are built for buyers who want to learn and compare on their own first. If you’d rather self-serve the research and then talk to a licensed producer, that’s the experience we’re designed for.

Common Questions
Does Stan or My Annuity Store offer more annuity types?
My Annuity Store covers a wider range: MYGAs, FIAs, SPIAs, DIAs, and LTC-hybrid annuities. Stan the Annuity Man focuses specifically on fixed annuities (MYGAs, FIAs, and lifetime income annuities).
Which one is better for a single immediate-income annuity (SPIA)?
Both can place one. The deciding factor is breadth of quotes: payout differences between carriers on the same SPIA can be meaningful, so comparing several top-rated carriers side by side, which our rate tools make easy, is what protects your monthly income.
Whichever direction you lean, read the fine print first. The NAIC’s Buyer’s Guide to Fixed Deferred Annuities and FINRA’s annuities overview are free, unbiased resources worth reviewing before you buy.
