Some people say comparison is the thief of joy. At Spot, we're happy to compare ourselves to others. We're confident in the products we offer.
Spot plans provide your pet with extensive plan options.
Here, we take a look at a few key differentiators between pet insurance plans offered by Spot and Figo:
As a policyholder of a plan from Figo, you need to pay an additional fee to get coverage for exam fees for eligible conditions. This is not the case with Spot plans.
Figo plans do not cover microchipping.
Figo has a separate cap on how much they will reimburse for behavioral problems. If eligible treatment for your pet’s behavioral problem costs more than this cap, you’ll have to pay for those yourself.

Some Key Differences
1. Spot Plan Coverage includes Exam Fees for Covered Conditions.
Figo plans require an additional cost to cover Exam Fees for covered conditions.
With Spot plans, your Accident-Only or Accident & Illness plan will cover exam fees for covered conditions. If your pet is undergoing cancer treatment, or treatment for a covered condition, the exams are eligible for reimbursement if they are not otherwise excluded.
We know how stressful exams and hospitalization for accidents and illnesses can be. We want to help make it easy for loving pet parents to get their animals the care they deserve.
In comparison, Figo plans coverage does not extend to exam fees for covered conditions unless policyholders add Veterinary Exam Fees coverage to their plan, which costs extra.
2. All Spot plans cover microchipping. Figo plans do not.
Microchip implantation is a quick, and simple procedure that can help pet parents reunite with lost pets. All Spot policies cover microchip implantation; Figo policies do not.
At Spot, we want to help provide you with the resources you need to be the best pet parent you can be — and help ensure your best chances of reuniting with your furry friend if they get lost.
3. Spot plans do not have a separate annual limit for behavioral problems. Figo plans have a separate annual limit for behavioral problems.
Spot plans cover behavioral problems, and they don’t have a separate annual limit specific to behavioral problems.
Figo plans also cover behavioral problems. However, they have a separate annual limit of $500-$1000 for behavioral problem coverage.
4. Spot Plans Cover the Cost of Prescription Foods
Spot plans cover the cost of prescription foods as long as it is prescribed by a licensed vet to treat a covered condition. Figo plans do not include coverage for prescription foods that your vet may prescribe your pet.

Good insurance company that's fast to process claims
Spot Pet Insurance has decent rates and is quick to process my claims and provide payout once I've met the deductible. I appreciate that they have an option to cover everything--including regular routine visits--so they can also be applied to the deductible. I'm glad to know my pets are covered.

First time using Spot
First time using Spot, and I'm pleased by the response. Filing online was easy, and form upload was very straightforward. The claim took 2-3 weeks to process, and I received email notification that the claim had been approved and that a check was in the mail. (Yes, a real, paper check.) After paying the deductible, my cat's ER visit was less than $200. Here's hoping I won't need it again, but cats ARE cats.
