Mint for T-Mobile coverage — Cricket for AT&T coverage

Mint uses the T-Mobile network footprint; Cricket uses AT&T's — the right pick starts with whichever network is stronger at your address. Mint is often cheaper at lower tiers for prepay users; Cricket's advertised prices include taxes and fees and can be simpler to budget. At the unlimited level, Mint includes 50GB premium data and a dedicated 20GB hotspot; Cricket Supreme ($55 with AutoPay, taxes included) offers unlimited data, 50GB hotspot, and Canada/Mexico calling and roaming benefits on eligible plans. Cricket Supreme is the stronger pick for heavy data users and anyone who travels to Mexico or Canada. If T-Mobile coverage is solid where you live and you can prepay, Mint delivers strong value.
