Hello,
I would like to ask whether we can use both
on the spot and at the spot (meant as a place) and if there is any difference in meaning if yes. Google shows on the spot quite frequently, however, at the spot appears sometimes too…
thank you

In a suitable context – for example, describing a reporter present at the scene of an incident – they can both be used, and there is little difference in meaning. “on the spot” feels more like a set expression.
Note also that “on the spot” has another meaning of “in an awkward situation”.
