How Boost Unlimited Scores
We scored Boost Unlimited against the same four pillars we use for every plan. Here’s how it broke down.
Pricing: the strongest price promise in prepaid
$25/mo with AutoPay, and $30 without — worth enrolling. New customers pay $10/mo for the first three months, then settle at $25. Unlike most prepaid promotions, the post-promo price is the guaranteed price rather than a step up.
The guarantee is the product. Where Verizon Prepaid locks three years and Metro and Total advertise five, Boost states $25 for as long as you keep the line active. That removes the annual price creep that makes people leave prepaid carriers.

How Boost Unlimited compares
The decision inside Boost's lineup is hotspot, and it costs $25 to get.

Final Verdict
The best entry-level unlimited plan in prepaid on price, and a genuinely unusual promise — $25 with no stated expiry, backed by 30GB of premium data that covers most real usage. It fails on one axis completely: there is no hotspot, and no add-on to fix that. If you tether even occasionally, Unlimited+ at $50 is the cheapest Boost tier that works. If you don't, this is very hard to beat.

What is Boost's $25 price guarantee?
Boost guarantees $25/mo on this plan for as long as you keep the line active and don't cancel or pause service. There's no stated end date, unlike the three and five-year locks other carriers advertise. It requires AutoPay.
Does Boost Unlimited include hotspot?
No, and there's no add-on for it on this tier. Hotspot starts at Unlimited+ for $50/mo. This is the most important thing to check before choosing the $25 plan.
What does 30GB of premium data mean?
Data is unlimited, but the first 30GB each cycle is prioritized. Past it, Boost says you may see slower speeds when the network is busy. You're not cut off and there are no overage charges.
Is the $10 intro price real?
Yes — new customers pay $10/mo for the first three months, then $25/mo, which is the guaranteed rate rather than a promotional step-up to something higher.
Can I bring my own phone?
Yes. Most unlocked 4G LTE and 5G phones work, using either a physical SIM or eSIM, with no credit check to activate.
