I built this after moving my own line from Xfinity Mobile to US Mobile. Every other carrier is read from its own published prices, and each page says which.
- The price cliff
Every plan ranked by how much it jumps when the intro ends, with what two years actually costs.
- Switch calculator
Put in your bill, your lines and your data. Every budget carrier is priced at its regular rate, with the intro shown beside it.
- Cheapest unlimited plan
Every unlimited plan ranked at the price you keep paying, with how much full-speed or priority data each one states.
- Roaming by trip length
Ten days abroad is included on Xfinity Mobile and T-Mobile's Experience plans, $20 on Mint Mobile, and $100 on Visible's base plan. Every carrier, three days to a month.
- Keep your network for less
Every plan on Verizon, T-Mobile or AT&T's network, cheapest first at the price after the intro ends.
- Carriers at a glance
One row each: cheapest regular price, network, the jump, and what a trip abroad costs.
- Price log
What each carrier's plan page said, every day, including the days it blocked the reader. Free to reuse as JSON.

How this site works
Every page says at the top whether I actually used the service, whether its links pay me, and what is a real bill versus a published price. My own switch, Xfinity Mobile to US Mobile, gets its own write-up once the bills and dates are in; everything published so far is research. Pages read off carrier sites carry the date they were read. Plan prices were checked by hand on September 21, 2026 to October 19, 2026.
Prices come from a script that reads each carrier's plan page every day, including the days a carrier blocks it. When a number moves, I check it by hand and note the date. The log is public, and the method is written down.
