Cell phone hotspot vs Foxfi?

Have a new phone from Verizon LG G2 that has KitKat. I know that Foxfi does not support wireless on this phone. I can use Verizon's on phone Hotspot or use Foxfi tethered with USB.

Now my question does anyone know if one or the other uses less data, as I do not have unlimited data?

    Same amount.
  • As long as you are using only one device aka pc
    It will use the same amount
    The data comes from the websites visited
    It doesn't make any difference if the pc is connected via USB to phone or Wi-Fi hotspot on phone
    The website data will be the same amount
    USB is one pc only
    Wi-Fi means you could connect several devices to the internet
    Several devices will use more than one
