    Term life insurance differs from permanent life insurance in several ways but tends to best meet the needs of most people looking for affordable life insurance coverage. Term life insurance only lasts for a set period and pays a death benefit should the policyholder die before the term has expired.

    Meanwhile, permanent life insurance, stays in effect as long as the policyholder pays the premium. Another critical difference involves premiums: term life is generally much less expensive than permanent life because it does not accumulate cash value.
