Figo vs Fetch

By the WhichPetPlan editorial team · Last verified 2026-08-17
Short answer

Figo wins on payout depth and speed: the only 100% reimbursement tier we track (paired with a $500 or $750 deductible, not combinable with its unlimited-limit plan), accident cover after just 24 hours, and a Higher Coverage plan with no annual limit. Fetch wins on breadth per dollar: dental disease and behavioral therapy included in the base policy, no accident waiting period at all, at an illustrative $47/mo for a dog versus $40/mo for Figo ($27 vs $23 for cats). Scores sit close: 7.9 vs 7.6 for dogs, 8.0 vs 7.5 for cats in our rankings.

Pre-existing conditions

Figo: Not covered, standard exclusion for signs shown before enrollment or during the waiting period.

Fetch: Not covered, standard exclusion for signs shown before enrollment or during the waiting period.

Choose Figo if

You want maximum reimbursement rate or the fastest accident start: 100% back on claims (with the required deductible pairing) or 24-hour accident cover against Fetch’s 14-day illness clock. Mind the Popular plan’s $10,000 cap, the 6-month orthopedic wait unless waived by an enrollment-window exam, and app-first service through Pet Cloud.

Choose Fetch if

Coverage breadth leads. Fetch genuinely covers dental disease and behavioral therapy without add-ons, lists limits of $5,000 to $15,000 (higher by contact), deductibles from $250 to $2,500, and an optional wellness add-on for routine care. The ceiling is lower off the shelf than Figo’s unlimited Higher Coverage plan.

Questions

Is Figo or Fetch cheaper?
Figo slightly on our illustrative estimates: about $40/mo for a healthy one-year-old dog versus $47/mo for Fetch ($23 vs $27 for cats). These are starting points, not quotes.
Which offers 100% reimbursement?
Figo only, the sole insurer in our lineup with a 100% tier: it requires a $500 or $750 deductible and cannot combine with the unlimited-limit plan. Fetch reimburses at 70/80/90%.
How do waiting periods compare?
Fetch has no accident wait at all; Figo starts accidents after 24 hours, still faster than most of the lineup. Illness runs up to 15 days at Fetch and 14 days at Figo. For joints, Figo documents a 6-month orthopedic hold waivable by exam; our review data does not list a separate orthopedic clock at Fetch.
Which includes more in the base policy?
Fetch: dental disease and behavioral therapy are included rather than sold separately. Figo’s extras (Wellness Powerups) are optional purchases on top.
