Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Boost Mobile at 58% against Xfinity Prepaid's 5%. Boost Mobile also leads on rating (4.7 vs 1.9) and ratings volume (562K vs 949). Xfinity Prepaid's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
