I'm currently on Republic Wireless. The base rate (call/text only) is $10 vs $20 for Google. RW has a $25/mn 3G plan and a $40/mn LTE plan (5GB). Google Fi has the advantage of always having LTE speeds. RW is able to have cheaper rates because they are doing WiFi calling, which is exactly what Google is doing; no doubt leveraging their Google Voice/Hangouts infrastructure to handle WiFi calling.
