| Visible vs Mint |
Visible and Mint Mobile are both budget-friendly phone carriers, but they work differently. Choose Visible for unlimited data on Verizon's network and month-to-month billing. Choose Mint for lower prices on T-Mobile's network if you are willing to pay for 3 to 12 months upfront.
Network and Coverage
- Visible runs on the massive Verizon network. It is great if you live in a rural area or small town with lots of hills or trees.
- Mint runs on the T-Mobile network. It usually gives faster download speeds in big cities.
Plans and Prices
- Visible keeps billing simple. Plans start at $25 per month for basic unlimited data and go up to $35–$45 for plans with "priority" data (meaning your speeds won't slow down when the network is busy). Taxes and fees are already included in the price.
- Mint requires you to buy your plan in bulk. You can get plans starting as low as $15 per month for a set amount of data, but you must pay for 3, 6, or 12 months at a time.
Hotspots and Perks
- Visible gives you an unlimited mobile hotspot. This lets you use your phone's internet for your tablet or laptop, but the speed is capped at 5Mbps.
- Mint includes a mobile hotspot on all plans, but the data is pulled directly from your monthly data limit.
Watch Support
- Visible lets you add a smartwatch plan (like an Apple Watch) to your account for a small fee.
- Mint does not currently support cellular smartwatches.
