I also use Google Fi, albeit the $10/gb plan, so my monthly bill is usually around $50-$60. The real reason I stick with it, even though I could get slightly cheaper plans elsewhere, is for international travel. I don't even travel internationally often at all, and I don't consider myself a foodie or world traveller or anything like that. But work is sending me to Taiwan in a couple weeks and it's nice knowing that I'll be able to land and have the same data and text rates as back home. Same for when I went on a cruise to Mexico with my family earlier this year. We landed, Google Fi sent me a text saying "give us a sec." And then a few minutes later I was online, without me having to do anything. Most cellular companies make you pay out the ass in international roaming costs, or if you have an unlocked phone you can get a local sim. The closest company to match this policy is T-Mobile, but their international data is capped at 256kbps unless you pay more.
