“Budget-focused homeowners who want predictable low service fees and straightforward plan choices.”
“Strictly price-driven buyers who want bundled roof-leak coverage and accept low caps.”
For most buyers, Choice is the safer pick here. Its $3,000 per-item cap doubles ServicePlus's $1,500, and its 3.2 claims score, while weak, beats ServicePlus's 2.8 with its documented disputed-denial pattern. The only reason to take ServicePlus is decisive: a lower monthly cost on some tiers plus bundled roof-leak coverage, and only if you accept the low caps. Choice still carries a mandatory arbitration clause.
