For years, I’ve considered Visible the best value in the US wireless market, thanks to its low pricing and generous data allotments. Even better, its Plus and Plus Pro plans come fairly close to matching Verizon’s postpaid speeds. Of course, one of its biggest advantages can also be a downside: it’s owned by Verizon. While this is comforting for former Verizon subscribers turned off by constant price increases, not everyone wants to use a brand directly owned by a major network.
If you’re looking for an independent alternative to Visible and don’t mind venturing beyond Verizon’s network, I highly recommend considering Google Fi. With the introduction of Visible’s Plus Pro plan and Google Fi’s new offerings, I’ve spent the last few months using both carriers (via a dual-SIM configuration) to compare them in 2025. Both have strong pros and cons, but which provides the best value? Let’s dive in.
