Pricing: the perks do most of the work

$60 all-in with taxes included, and the only Metro tier where data is premium — no 35GB or 50GB threshold, no slowdown at any usage level.

The bundle is what makes the maths work. Amazon Prime alone is $14.99/mo, and Google One, HD video, a 25GB hotspot and $5 watch and tablet lines sit on top. If you'd pay for Prime anyway, the effective cost drops to around $45.

What You Get

Premium data that isn't deprioritized at any usage level
Amazon Prime included — a $14.99/mo value
25GB hotspot, the largest in Metro's lineup
HD video, unlike every cheaper tier
Watch and tablet lines at $5/mo when you bring a device
Taxes and fees are included — the advertised price is the price
5-year price guarantee on talk, text and 5G data

What You Don't Get

$60 is postpaid-adjacent pricing for a prepaid brand
Metro may still be slower than T-Mobile's own customers during congestion
Requires AutoPay; first month is $65
Amazon Prime ends if you switch to a lower tier

How Metro $60 compares

Against the tier below, which is where most buyers hesitate.

Feature Metro $60 Metro $50
Price $60/mo $50/mo

Watch/tablet lines $5/mo Standard pricing

Who should choose Metro $60

You use a lot of data and want it never deprioritized
You already pay for Amazon Prime — it's effectively $15/mo off
You tether seriously; 25GB is the largest allowance Metro offers
You want HD video on cellular
You're adding a watch or tablet at $5/mo

Who should skip it

You're price-sensitive; the $30 tier covers ordinary use for half the price
You don't use Amazon Prime, which removes much of the value
You'd rather have Verizon or AT&T coverage
You never approach 35GB a month

Final Verdict

Metro's best plan and the only one we'd call genuinely strong. Premium data that never slows is rare in prepaid at any price, and bundling Amazon Prime turns a $60 plan into roughly a $45 one for anyone who already subscribes. The 25GB hotspot and HD video close the gaps that make the cheaper tiers frustrating. If you're going to be on Metro and can afford it, this is the tier worth having.
