Best Boost Mobile plans in 2024: What's the best option for you?

Boost Unlimited | unlimited data | $40/month — Boost Mobile's best plan
Boost has three plans with unlimited data, but the one in the middle of the carrier's offerings is just right in terms of balancing price and perks. You get unlimited talk, text and data (though speeds are slowed if you use more than 35GB in a month), along with another 12GB of mobile hotspot data. The $40 monthly rate compares well to what Metro by T-Mobile charges, though Visible and Mint Mobile both offer unlimited data for less.

Pros: Hotspot data, 5G coverage included
Cons: Speeds slow after 35GB, Cheaper unlimited plans available elsewhere

Boost Unlimited (annual plan) | unlimited data | $300/yer — Save money by paying in advance
You can also opt to pay $300 upfront for a year of coverage under Boost's unlimited plan. Like the $40/monthly plan above, you get 12GB of hotspot data and the same 35GB data cap before speeds are slowed. The advantage here is a lower monthly cost, as paying annually saves you $180 over the cost of going month-to-month.

Pros: Big savings from monthly plan, Hotspot data included
Cons: Requires large upfront payment, Speeds slow if you use more than 35GB per month

Boost Unlimited | unlimited data |  $60/month — Boost's best perks
Most Boost plans don't come with many add-ons, but the $60/month unlimited plan is a notable exception. You get 30GB of hotspot data with this option. Boost also includes its Todo Mexico offering, which lets you use up to 8GB of data when traveling in Mexico. You can also call and text from Mexico, and you're able to makes calls and texts to Mexico and Canada from the U.S. at no charge. Unlimited texting to 200-plus countries is covered, too.

Pros: Big perks particularly for people who spend time in Mexico
Cons: Boost's most expensive plan

Boost 5GB plan | 5GB | $15/month — Boost's cheapest data plan
If you don't need unlimited data, consider Boost's lone tiered data plan, which gives you 5GB of data every month. (Hit that amount, and you'll need to buy a supplementary data pack from Boost; some carriers merely slow your speeds for the rest of the billing cycle.) The costs of Boost's plan matches what T-Mobile charges for 5GB. You're able to use your phone as a mobile hotspot, drawing from your monthly data allocation with the 5GB plan.

Pros: Affordable rate for a decent amount of data, Hotspot usage support
Cons: You must buy more data if you use up 5GB

Boost Infinite Unlimited Plus | unlimited data | $60 month — Unlimited data with a phone
In addition to its prepaid business, Boost has launched a postpaid service where it supplies you with a phone — your choice of an iPhone 15 or Galaxy S24 — and an unlimited amount of data. (Or at least, up to 30GB before your data is slowed down.) Perks included unlimited talk, text and data in Mexico and Canada plus the ability to text 200-plus countries. You can also upgrade your phone every year. If you have your own phone, the Boost Infinite Unlimited plan costs just $25/month.

Pros: Includes an iPhone 15 or Galaxy S24, Upgrade your phone every year, Some travel perks
Cons: Limited perks compared to other unlimited data plans at this price, 30GB cap before data is slowed

Boost Unlimited | unlimited data | $25/month — Boost's lowest price on unlimited data
Boost offers one other unlimited data plan as a way for budget-minded customers to max out on their data. The $25/month option includes few perks and requires you to sign up for autopay. But if all you're looking for is unlimited data, this Boost Mobile option provides that a price comparable to the cheapest plans from Visible and Mint Mobile.

Pros: Aggressive pricing on unlimited data
Cons: Few perks
