Being fair about Holafly

Holafly is a large, established eSIM brand with a long track record and its own support organisation, and plenty of travellers are happy with it. We are not claiming it is worse or more expensive than the options below — we simply don't hold its plan data, so any such comparison from us would be invented. What we can tell you honestly is what the providers in our catalogue charge, where they work, and how their unlimited and metered plans line up for your destination.

How to choose

  • Heavy streaming or tethering for a week or more? Start with the unlimited listings in the table above.
  • Short city break with light usage? Compare price per GB on your destination page — a small metered plan usually wins.
  • Multi-country trip? Check coverage counts first, then the regional plans on the destination pages.

FAQ

Do you compare Holafly plans directly?

No. We only publish figures we can calculate from plan data stored in our own database, and Holafly is not one of the providers we track. Everything on this page describes the alternatives we do hold live data for.

Which alternative offers unlimited data?

Unlimited plans exist in the catalogues we track — the table above shows exactly how many unlimited plans each provider currently lists. Fair-usage terms are set by the provider and shown on the plan itself.

Is an unlimited plan always the better deal?

Not necessarily. If you mostly use maps, messaging and the occasional upload, a metered plan is often cheaper per trip. Our destination pages show price per GB so you can compare a metered plan against an unlimited one for the same number of days.

Can I keep my normal number while using one of these eSIMs?

Yes. An eSIM runs alongside your physical SIM, so your usual number stays reachable for calls and SMS while data runs over the travel plan.
