Visible+ Pro Plan

Visible has added a new plan to its lineup - Visible+ Pro. The new plan is now their top-tier offering. It is $45/month and offers some enhancements over the previous top-tier plan, including:

• More Premium Data - Previously, the top-tier Visible+ plan included only 50GB of premium data. But with the new Visible+ Pro plan, all data on the plan is premium data, including data on both the 5G Ultra Wideband network and the 5G Nationwide Network.
• Faster Hotspot Data - Hotspot data on all Visible plans is unlimited, but with speed caps. The new Visible+ plan's speed cap on hotspot data is 15 Mbps - which is the fastest hotspot speed they've ever offered.
• Faster Streaming - The new plan also comes with streaming available up to 4K UHD. Previous versions of Visible's plans only offered up to 720p streaming.
• Smartwatch Service - Smartwatch Service is now included at no extra charge with Visible+ Pro. 
• Global Passes - Visible+ Pro comes with 2 Global Pass days/month at no extra charge.

Changes to Visible+ Plan

There are also some changes to the previous top-tier plan - Visible+. 

The price has been officially lowered to $35/month, from $45/month. Although it had often been offered at the same price through various promotions. 

All data on this plan is now premium data, whereas it previously had a cap of 50GB of premium data. And streaming is now available up to 1080p (up from 720p). 

Plan Comparison

Here is a chart that highlights the differences between the three currently available Visible plans.

Considerations for Switching Plans

If you're on the previous version of the Visible+ plan at $45/month, it would be worth looking into switching plans. If you switched to the new Visible+ Pro plan, you would pay the same monthly price, but get more premium data, faster hotspot data, and 4K UHD streaming.

Even switching to the $35 Visible+ plan would be worthwhile, as you would pay less per month, get more premium data, and 1080p streaming.

Also worth noting - don't assume that if you are on the previous version of Visible+,  that you will automatically be switched to the new version. Even with the same plan name, Visible will likely consider that to be a legacy version of the plan and will keep you on it. Be sure to check your account settings to see which plan you're on and what your monthly rate is before making any changes.

Switching from Promotional Plan Pricing

Visible has often offered promotional pricing on Visible+ over the past year or so. Typically the promotional pricing is guaranted for a certain time span, meaning you could keep the promo pricing for the designated time period as long as you remain on that plan.

If you are on a plan with promotional pricing, you will not automatically get the added features of the new version of the Visible+ plan. You would have to switch to the new version of the Visible+ plan, which would mean losing any promotional pricing you might currently have. 

For example, one of our team members is on a promo version of the previous Visible+ plan, and their plan is now listed as "Visible+ Legacy 2" on their account - and still has the same features as the older version of the plan.

However, the promotional pricing that was previously offered may be the same as what is being offered now for Visible+. Some team members of ours are on promotional pricing of $35/month, while others are paying $30/month.

If you are currently paying $35 for Visible+, it may be worthwhile for you to go ahead and switch to the new version of the plan. You'll be paying the same amount - but will get more priority data and faster streaming speeds.

But if your promotional pricing is lower, you'll need to decide if those added benefits are worth the extra $5/month.

Just remember that while the promotional plan pricing is guaranteed for a set period of time, there's no guarantee on the pricing period for the current lineup. While it's very likely you would be able to keep your pricing as a grandfathered plan should Visible change their plan lineup again in the future, there is also no guarantee from Visible that they would honor legacy pricing like that.

So be sure to review any pricing changes that would affect you if you are considering switching to either the new version of Visible+ or Visible+ Pro.

Conclusion

Visible's new plan lineup adds some really nice benefits for essentially no extra money, as the Visible+ Pro plan is now the same price as the previous version of the Visible+ plan. Unlimited premium data with unlimited (but speed-capped) hotspot data is a pretty good deal at either $45 or $35 per month. And the increase in streaming caps - 1080p for Visible+ or 4K UHD for Visible+ Pro - is also a worthwhile perk.

We have long considered Visible's plans to be one of our Top Picks, and these changes made their options even better.
