When to Choose Holafly
Heavy data users and digital nomads who stream, video call, or work remotely and refuse to monitor usage
Holafly is the go-to choice for travelers who want unlimited data without tracking gigabytes. The unlimited plans are genuinely unique in the market, and the app experience is polished. However, premium pricing and reported throttling after moderate daily use undermine the "unlimited" promise. Best for heavy users on trips of a week or more.
Strengths
- True unlimited data plans across all destinations — the only major provider with no data caps
- Excellent app (4.7 stars) with fast QR code setup and hotspot/tethering support
- 24/7 multilingual customer support via live chat and email
- Strong regional plans for multi-country trips within continents
Limitations
- Premium pricing ($5.90/day minimum) that only becomes cost-effective on longer stays
- Reports of throttling after 3-5GB daily usage despite "unlimited" branding
- Data-only service with no calls or SMS; no plan extension options once purchased
When to Choose Roamless
Frequent travelers who want a single permanent eSIM with non-expiring pay-as-you-go credits
Roamless is a promising newcomer with a single global eSIM and dual pay-as-you-go/fixed pricing that suits irregular travelers perfectly — credits never expire. Its network speeds rank second among all tested providers. The lack of unlimited data and email-only support are drawbacks, but for frequent travelers who want one eSIM that just works everywhere, Roamless delivers.
Strengths
- Single global eSIM installed once and used across all 208 countries without reinstalling
- Dual pricing model: RoamlessFlex (pay-as-you-go, credits never expire) and RoamlessFix (fixed plans)
- Second-fastest eSIM overall in independent speed testing across 22 providers
- International calling starting at $0.01/minute with hotspot tethering supported
Limitations
- No unlimited data plans available for heavy data users
- No live chat support — email-only customer service with slower response times
- Cannot receive incoming calls; SMS not yet supported (planned for 2026)
