Pricing: what hotspot costs at Boost
$50/mo with AutoPay, $55 without. Boost's lineup makes hotspot an expensive feature: it simply doesn't exist below this tier, so tethering costs you $25/mo more than the entry plan even though you also get 10GB more premium data and Global Talk & Text.
Multi-line is where it gets competitive. $20 off two lines brings it to $40 each, and $40 off three brings it to about $37 each: the entry $25 plan has no multi-line discount at all, so families narrow the gap considerably.

Final Verdict
The tier to buy if you tether, because at Boost there's no cheaper way to do it. 40GB of premium data, hotspot, unlimited calling to 100+ countries and up to $300 in device savings is a fair package at $50, and the multi-line discounts make it genuinely reasonable for two or three lines. What you give up is the thing that makes Boost interesting, the $25 lifetime price guarantee doesn't extend here. If you don't tether, take the entry plan and keep the $25.
Consider instead: Boost Unlimited. If you don't tether, Boost Unlimited at $25 is half the price with 30GB of premium data and a price guarantee that has no end date: the better plan for most people.
