Choice Home Warranty and Super both provide home warranties that cover the cost of repairing or replacing home appliances and systems, but which one is right for you?
We’ve put Choice Home Warranty and Super side by side to help you choose between the two. By comparing protection options, prices and customer reviews, you should be able to decide which company offers the better home warranty solution for your specific needs.
Choice Home Warranty vs. Super cost
While Super's monthly premiums are lower for basic coverage, Choice Home Warranty is the more economical choice for comprehensive, high-tier plans. Another key cost to consider is the service fee, which is the amount you pay for a technician's visit; Super has a lower entry point for this one-time cost.

Choice Home Warranty offers two plans, but its service fee is always $100. You can get a discounted rate on either plan by paying annually instead of monthly:

| Service fee | Basic | Total |
|---|---|---|
| $100 | $49.17 | $57.50 |
Super plans and pricing

- Simple plan: $489 per year
- Signature plan: $829 per year
- Lux plan: $1,399 per year

What Choice Home Warranty customers say
Overall, CHW customers were satisfied with the technicians that respond to service calls and report that customer service was adequate. Users also appreciate how easy it was to sign up for warranty protection. Customers who were not happy with CHW felt that claim coverage levels were unfairly represented and that customer service was lacking, though.
The Choice Home Warranty online claim service was easy to access. Within 24 hours, I had approval for a diagnosis and a repair. No phone calls, no waiting. ... I couldn't be happier with the process.”
– Joan of Bluffton, SC
What Super customers say
Customers like Super’s easy application process and the professional demeanor of its contractors. Customers who were unsatisfied complained of poor customer service and waiting long periods for Super to schedule contractors.
I filed a claim and so I logged in, put a ticket in. Told me when to expect a repairman, and things went smoothly. The repairman came out and was very professional and friendly. Diagnosed the problem very quickly.”
– Jeffrey of Arlington, VA
Bottom line: Choice Home Warranty or Super?
Choice Home Warranty offers two fairly traditional warranty plans, and its services are available in 48 states. Super has a somewhat unique approach and a wider variety of options. However, it’s more expensive than many home warranty providers, and it’s only available in a handful of cities.
- Choice Home Warranty is best for homeowners who need a traditional warranty plan without as many frills.
- Super is best for those in cities where it currently operates who don’t mind paying more for a higher level of service.
