US Mobile offers a choice of AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile; Mint Mobile stays on T-Mobile and uses shorter introductory prepayment.
Reviewed
US Mobile wins this comparison for most people: Unlimited Starter, Unlimited Flex, and Unlimited Premium are our top overall, budget-unlimited, and premium-unlimited picks, and each can use AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile coverage. Mint remains an option for a light user who wants 6GB for a regular $25 monthly equivalent with three months prepaid, while US Mobile's lowest advertised monthly equivalents require a full year paid upfront.

Current plan
Its clearest value is 6GB of data with hotspot access at a regular equivalent rate of $25 per month.
Video streams in SD, and taxes and fees cost extra.
Current plan
Its clearest value is 23GB of data with hotspot access at a regular equivalent rate of $45 per month.
Video streams in SD, and the regular price is higher than Mint's Unlimited plan.
Current SaveOnPhone recommendation
We recommend US Mobile By the Gig where at least one of its three available networks performs well locally because $10 monthly includes taxes, 2GB of shared data, hotspot use, and the option to place pool members on AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile service.
The shared 2GB allowance is too restrictive for routine streaming or other data-heavy use.
Current SaveOnPhone recommendation
We recommend US Mobile Unlimited Premium where a locally suitable network is available because its $299 first-year annual payment includes taxes, unlimited priority data, up to unlimited hotspot use depending on the network, 20GB of international data, and a free smartwatch line on Warp.
The first-year price requires $299 upfront, renews at full price, and ties the largest hotspot allowance and free smartwatch line to particular networks.
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.
