The fee depends on the item that\u2019s being covered.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here are some examples of Squaretrade Protection Plans and how much they cost:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Apple iMac: $149.99<\/li><li>Phone Protection Plan: $8.99 per month (single-line) or $19.99 per month (four lines)&nbsp;<\/li><li>Gaming equipment: $89.99 per device&nbsp;<\/li><li>Television: $500 to $600<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the examples given above, there are tons of other electronics that you can find Squaretrade Protection Plans for such as&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Desktops&nbsp;<\/li><li>Laptops&nbsp;<\/li><li>Tablets&nbsp;<\/li><li>iPads<\/li><li>iPhones<\/li><li>Smartphones&nbsp;<\/li><li>Kitchen appliances<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And much more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Customers can select the price of the device they want to cover and also select the coverage limit. Obviously, a lower coverage limit will be more affordable than if you opt for a longer coverage limit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <strong>SquareTrade Protection Plan<\/strong> offers Accident Protection which means that they will cover accidental damage instantly. However, if your device stops working while it\u2019s still under the manufacturer\u2019s warranty, Squaretrade will refer you to them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>It\u2019s important to note that Squaretrade Protection Plans depreciate in value as well.
