Everyone price compares. Why not have a price comparison table on this site. Public Mobile seems to have the better plans monthly to 90 days, and when you show them the auto-pay rebate it goes a long way. A previous comment in the idea section was where one suggested Freedom Mobile, but their cheapest plan was $30 but with 250mb of Data, but compare that with your plan, it's 1gig at $47 at 30 days or $40 at 30 days (90-day plan). People don't understand where you compare apples to apples or apples to oranges! PM seems to have the sweeter deal!

There are already websites that do this. And with Public mobile being online only and few more tech savvy people I'm sure they would at least have an idea on market trends. If you look at only 30 day plans, maybe most people don't like being "locked" for 90 days, then the deals are worse. For 30 days PM is actually more expensive. And koodo is actually Canada wide. Not province. Some people may find more value in tht

Putting up a direct price comparison chart would probably invoke a meeting of lawyers in court.  There will surely be litigation over potential misrepresentations and resultant harm to the competitor's brand.  Comparisons as you point out are difficult and involve many factors.  Not one product suits everyone.  For example, those who like to be pampered and don't know what a SIM card looks like will only settle for Telus level service.  Anyway, if you think the current price plans offered by Public Mobile is good, I suggest drinking less of their corporate cool aid.

Also the fido comparisson is wrong. You actually get 3GB for the $65 plan, plus extras. The basic talk, text and data plan is $45 for 1GB, but with 500 canada wide mins

And prices are continually changing - the chart would be out of date in a week. So now you would have to assign someone the task of keeping it up to date - that's going to be a pain in the butt for someone in no time.

MobileSyrup has a weekly comparison.  No sense in reinventing the wheel.

Wow mobile has a great comparison tool as well.

a comparison would also show that public mobile pricing is bad compared to the big 3.

I don't know where you're located in Canada, but the prices in Ontario from the big 3 are awful, and when I joined here last year, I was saving about 60% of what I was paying to Rogers in a three product deal, or cellular service.  I know it wasn't apples to apples, as Rogers was Canadawide vs PM provincewide ( I only need province), texting was nationwide at Rogers, global here (both overkill for me), and data was 2GB per month at both (avg).  That was July and August do 2016.

 

I was fortunate enough to be around, aware, and able to get the fall 2016 promo.  I doubled my data on a plan change at no cost increase, and have yet to use my bucket of data.

 

As I don't live in the GTA, the GTHA, or other very large metroplicies in Ontario, I don't get the LTE as frequently as those who do live in those areas.  Even at the speeds PM has throttled right now for the '3G' plans, the 90 days prices would still save me money to what I'm seeing from the Big 3.

 

what you need vs. what I need may be different, but I still continue to see value in the current offerings.
