Cricket is the more practical choice for hotspot-heavy use because Supreme Unlimited includes 50GB of hotspot for $55, while Metro's $60 plan includes 25GB but adds Amazon Prime and Google One. Metro has the lowest promotional price at an effective $20 per month, but that offer requires $120 upfront, a new bring-your-own-phone line, and provides no hotspot; choose between them first by AT&T-versus-T-Mobile coverage, then by whether hotspot or bundled perks matter more.

AutoPay is required, the first month costs $65, and cheaper unlimited plans offer stronger value for users who do not need the bundles.
Start with coverage where you use your phone most, then compare the complete bill, high-speed data, hotspot limits, prepayment, taxes, eligibility, and support. SaveOnPhone lists the full market, and payment never determines our recommendations.
