Expert Take
Mike
Licensed Insurance Professional (AAI, PRC, SBCS, CCIC)
Both carriers target tech-savvy pet owners with strong mobile experiences, but they differentiate on key features. Spot offers more plan customization and behavioral issue coverage. Figo offers 100% reimbursement and a 1-day accident waiting period (the shortest in the industry). Spot's 2-day accident waiting period is close to Figo's 1 day.
Pricing is comparable, with Figo running slightly higher for 100% reimbursement plans. Figo's Pet Cloud app is arguably the best mobile experience in pet insurance, with health tracking and vet-finder features. Spot's advantage is flexibility — you can build a more tailored policy. For pet owners who want the highest reimbursement rate and the fastest accident coverage, Figo.
For those who want more control over their policy design, Spot. Both are above-average carriers in the mid-tier price range.
