Our verdict on each

Blau.de

Blau suits anyone who wants a cheap German mobile line on a handset they already own, with sim only plans starting at €6.99 a month and no credit check. The trade-off is term length: only Blau Allnet S Flex rolls, and no plan in the range is unlimited.

Meow Mobile

Meow Mobile suits US households that want a prepaid, rolling SIM only line on AT&T and can plan around a price that rises after the introductory stretch. The entry point is low at $10 a month, and next generation mobile data, an eSIM, wifi calling and hotspot sharing all come as standard.

Pros and cons

Blau.de

Pros

  • Entry is low for a contract mobile plan: Blau Allnet S Flex starts at €6.99 a month, under the €9.30 entry price across the site.
  • No credit check is required, so a signup does not hinge on a credit file.
  • An esim is available, so a compatible phone can be provisioned digitally on the host network.

Cons

  • Use inside the EU is on fair use terms rather than a stated allowance, so a month of heavy use in Europe can cost extra.
  • Blau serves DE, so the deal does not stretch to a second market.
  • Terms run 1 and 24 months, and the roomier plans, Blau Allnet M and Blau Allnet XL Promo, sit at the long end, while only Blau Allnet S Flex rolls.

Meow Mobile

Pros

  • Entry pricing is easy to start with: the capped data plan starts at $10 a month and the unlimited plan opens at $15.
  • A credit check is not required, so a line can be opened without a credit history being put forward.
  • Billing is prepaid and rolling, so there is no long fixed term to serve out and nothing to negotiate on leaving.

Cons

  • The renewal step is the catch: Initial $15/mo for 3 months then $30/mo, so the opening unlimited figure is not the rate you keep.
  • It serves a single market, US, and roaming is paid, so travel costs sit on top of the monthly bill.
  • Support runs on email and chat only, so there is no phone line for anyone who wants to talk a problem through.

Who each suits

Blau.de

Who it suits

  • Households that already own a handset and want an extra line, since every Blau plan is sim only and a multi line discount applies.
  • Anyone who wants to sign up without a credit check, since none is required, and who can pick contract, rolling or prepaid billing from contract, rolling and prepaid.
  • Light-to-moderate data users who travel now and then: roaming reaches from 100 countries, with EU use on fair use terms.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Shoppers who want to buy straight from the host network: Blau is a seller of type mvno, while GETESA, Lonestar Cell MTN and yesss! each sell as a network.
  • Anyone who needs unlimited data, since no Blau plan is unlimited; yesss! sets its own tariff as a network seller.
  • Users outside DE, where the range is sold in a single market, so a network from their own home market such as GETESA or Lonestar Cell MTN is the fairer starting point.

Meow Mobile

Who it suits

  • Households in the US that want a prepaid, rolling SIM only line on AT&T without a long contract.
  • People who rarely leave the country and stream or hotspot often, since roaming is paid and unmetered data opens at $15.
  • Anyone adding a spare line for a child, a partner or a second phone, since a credit check is not required and hotspot sharing is included.

Who should look elsewhere

  • GETESA, which sells as a network (network), for readers who want the host network itself rather than a virtual network operator.
  • yesss! and Lonestar Cell MTN, both sold as networks (network, network), for anyone who treats buying direct from the network as a condition rather than a preference.

Questions about each

Blau.de

How much is the cheapest Blau plan?+

Blau Allnet S Flex is the entry plan at €6.99 a month, billed rolling with a month's notice rather than a fixed term. The next tier, Blau Allnet M, carries a longer commitment, and the largest listed, Blau Allnet XL Promo, sits at the long end of the term range. Among the brands ranked on entry price, Blau holds position 132 of 258.

Does Blau run a credit check?+

No credit check is required, which is why these tariffs sit alongside the no credit check plans in this group. Billing spans contract, rolling and prepaid, so the same walk-through applies whether a customer picks a fixed term or a prepaid option, and an esim is available to get the line running without a paper card.

Meow Mobile

What does Meow Mobile cost to start, and what happens to the price later?+

The capped data plan starts at $10 a month and the unlimited plan opens at $15. The opening unlimited rate is introductory, because Initial $15/mo for 3 months then $30/mo. Budget from the ongoing rate rather than the headline figure, since that step is what most of the monthly bill depends on.

Is Meow Mobile a network or a virtual operator?+

Meow Mobile is a virtual network operator, so the coverage comes from AT&T while the plans, pricing and support are its own. That split is the usual reason a plan here can sit below what the network charges. Readers who prefer to buy from the network itself have GETESA and yesss! listed alongside, both of which sell as networks.
