PRICING:
Without looking at multi-line or loyalty discounts, Verizon’s prepaid plans are much cheaper than their postpaid counterparts. The cheapest prepaid plan is $30 compared to the cheapest postpaid plan which is $70.
The most expensive prepaid plan is $60 compared to $90. Very easy to see prepaid is cheaper. BUT if you look at multi-line discounts or family plan discounts, Verizon postpaid might be the winner for you because Verizon Prepaid doesn’t have multi-line discounts. For instance… Verizon’s $70/month postpaid plan turns to $35/Month per line when you have 4 lines and $30 when you have 5 or more. The $80 Play more goes down to $45 per line, along with Do More and Verizon’s Get More originally $90 goes down to $55 per line with four lines.
Now the last thing to look at for price is the loyalty discount that comes with Verizon Prepaid. At month 4 and month 10, you save an extra $5/month on your total plan cost AND if you enroll in autopay you get an additional $5 in savings. So after 9 months of service your $65 Unlimited Prepaid plan goes down to $50/month. You can see on Verizon’s website that these loyalty discounts make a big difference.

PERKS
Perks are any extras or add-ons that you don’t have to pay for
If we take a look at prepaid perks you’ll see that there’s not much to write home about. You don’t get much… but depending on the plan you do get mobile hotspot access, free calling to canada and mexico along with free texting to over 200 countries. Not one plan offers all of these perks… Verizon is a little sneaky here offering some perks and charging for others… for instance the hotspot access is free with the $50/month prepaid plan but you don’t get a separate data allotment and with the $65/month prepaid plan you need to pay $5 but you get 10GB of mobile hotspot data with it.
If we take a quick look at the postpaid plan perks you’ll see they blow prepaid out of the water… For instance you get Disney+ free for one year with all unlimited plans, you get Apple Music free, you get 500GB of Verizon Cloud Storage, Hotspot access with dedicated allotments, and free 5G access with a compatible phone.
So postpaid plans wins here.

PLANS
Starting with data allotments… almost all the plans have some sort of high-speed data allotment. The only plan that doesn’t is the $35/month prepaid plan which is just texting and calling.
With the rest of the prepaid plans you get 5GB, 15GB, or unlimited. With the 5 and 15GB plans you have SOFT data caps meaning once you use up your allotted data your speeds slow to 2G speeds. With the Unlimited prepaid plan you get unlimited high-speed data though your speeds may slow only when the network is congested.
With all of the postpaid plans i’m comparing today, you get unlimited data. Though some plans offer MORE guaranteed high-speed data than others. Basically Start has the least because it’s the cheapest and Get More has the most because it’s the most expensive.

PHONES
When it comes to phones some carriers only have select phones available for postpaid and prepaid services… and some carriers don’t allow you to buy a phone on an installment plan... With Verizon you can’t buy a phone on an installment plan with prepaid… but you have all the same phone options as the postpaid customers. Because of that i’m giving a full star to postpaid and a half star to prepaid.

CLOSING
The final star count is 2 to prepaid and 3 to postpaid out of a total of 4. Now just because postpaid has more stars doesn’t mean a postpaid plan is better for you than a prepaid! You should go with prepaid IF you’re looking for only 1 or 2 lines because you get a KILLER loyalty discount PLUS an autopay discount saving you $15/month after 9 months of service. You won’t get that with the postpaid plans. I’d also go for prepaid over postpaid if you’re not worried about the extra perks because honestly, those perks raise the cost of the plan.
You should go with postpaid if those perks are something you’d like… personally the extra 500GB of Verizon cloud storage would be amazing and i don’t think that’s been given enough attention… postpaid plans are also great for family plans because you get that gnarly multi-line discount!
