Airalo vs Holafly vs Saily

Three brands, one spec, one date. And a fourth column, because we sell the same thing.

Competitor prices are the cheapest same-spec plan (20 GB, 30 days or the nearest match) listed on esimradar.com, checked 2026-09-05. Our prices are live checkout prices. *Holafly figure is the unlimited plan closest to 15 days; its fair-use policy sets a daily full-speed allowance. Prices change; verify before you rely on them.

How to read this

Price per GB is the only comparison that survives contact with reality. A 100 GB plan that expires in a day is not a bargain, and an "unlimited" plan throttled after 2 GB a day is a 30 GB plan wearing a costume. Every price above is shown per GB for that reason.

Who each brand suits

What none of them will tell you

None of the four owns a network. If you are staying somewhere for two months or more, a local SIM beats all of us. If you need a local phone number for bank codes or food delivery, a travel eSIM — anyone's — is data-only and will not give you one.

Common questions

Which is cheapest: Airalo, Holafly or Saily?

For fixed-data plans, Airalo and Saily are usually within a few dollars of each other; Holafly sells only unlimited plans priced per day, so it is the most expensive for short trips and can be competitive for heavy users on long ones. On the same 20 GB / 30-day spec, Landed eSIM is cheaper than all three on every destination in the table as of 2026-09-05.

Is Holafly's unlimited really unlimited?

Unlimited travel eSIMs in this market carry a fair-use policy — a daily full-speed allowance after which speeds are reduced — and hotspot use is often limited separately. Read the plan's fair-use line before buying; a 20 GB fixed plan is frequently more usable data than an 'unlimited' one for a two-week trip.

Do they use different networks?

Sometimes, but less than the branding suggests. All four brands buy wholesale capacity; in most countries the local networks overlap. Our plan pages list the exact networks for each plan.

Which has the best refund policy?

Ours: unused, uninstalled plans are refunded in full within 30 days via a self-service link, and a plan that installs but will not connect is replaced or refunded. For the other three, check their current terms directly.
