Honest Take

Which plan is right for you?

Where RMO wins

Better when you want flexibility and bundle

  • Disappearing Deductible on MyHome IV reduces the cost of each claim over time — Choice service-call fees stay fixed at ~$85.
  • Four tiers vs. two — pick coverage that matches your home, not just basic-or-everything.
  • Bundled with banking, insurance, electronics protection, roadside, and more — one membership, many benefits.
Where Choice may be better

Better when you want a simple two-tier choice

  • Standalone product — no membership required to enroll.
  • Specific add-ons available for pool/spa equipment, second refrigerator, septic, well pump, sump pump, and other niche items.
  • Two-plan structure (Basic vs. Total) is simpler to compare if you don’t want to think about tier granularity.
