See how Spot plans stack up
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.
The breakdown below gives a look at some of the core features for each providers’ plans.

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.
Planning for the future
We hope this answers some of your questions regarding the difference between Spot plans and Figo pet insurance plans.

You don’t think you’ll need it, until you do.
Like anyone, I hated paying insurance premiums every month. But, something told me not to cancel my SPOT insurance. Let me tell you, I am SO glad I didn’t. One day my dog decided to eat a cardboard box while we were in the middle of a move. He has never done anything like this. Well, cardboard does not digest. He ended up with a wad of congealed cardboard that wouldn’t come up and wouldn’t pass through. Nearly $5000 for surgery and treatment and he is just fine. What a huge stressor this would have been without SPOT insurance. This incident was the first time I actually had to file a claim and I was honestly nervous about how it would go. But it was so smooth. I filed the claim through the app, attached the required receipts and proof of treatment, and within about a week the reimbursement hit my bank account. It was so easy. I will forever recommend pet insurance. Hopefully you never need them but the peace of mind knowing SPOT has your back if the time comes is 100% worth the monthly premiums.

My First Claim Experience
I made my first claim this month. Spot’s website was user friendly. I received an acknowledgement email and specific additional information needed. I received another acknowledgment email. A final email the next day stated that the claim was accepted and asked if I preferred a check in the mail or directly into a bank account. Couldn’t be better.
