Frequently asked

Who has the best country coverage?
Airalo leads on raw country count (200 plus) and predictable pricing. Holafly leads on unlimited plans in specific markets. Saily fits in for nomads who want a leaner UX and a few power-user features.
Which is cheapest per GB?
Airalo on metered plans for most short-stay countries. Holafly on heavy-data trips where unlimited beats topping up. Always check the same trip on at least two providers; pricing tiers move quickly.
Tethering policies?
Airalo: most plans tether. Holafly: some plans throttle hotspot. Saily: usually allows tethering. Read each plan’s fair-use; sustained heavy hotspot can trigger soft caps on any provider.
Which one fits a one-month base in one country?
Often a metered Airalo plan if you use moderate data, a Holafly unlimited plan if you stream and tether heavily. For very long stays a local SIM still beats both.
Which fits a multi-country trip?
Airalo and Holafly both have regional bundles for Europe, SEA and LatAm. Airalo regionals tend to be cheaper per GB; Holafly tends to be smoother for unlimited streaming travelers.
