Mint Mobile vs. Google Fi: the short answer

Mint Mobile is the simpler domestic choice for light or moderate users, with regular three-month rates of $25 for 6GB and $40 for unlimited service. Google Fi Unlimited Premium is our recommendation for frequent international travel because its $65 plan includes 100GB of premium domestic data, 50GB of hotspot, and data in more than 200 countries; pay for Fi when those travel benefits are genuinely useful.
