When to Choose Saily

Privacy-conscious travelers who want built-in VPN-like security features alongside competitive eSIM pricing

Backed by Nord Security (the NordVPN makers), Saily combines budget-friendly pricing with built-in privacy tools and a polished app experience. The security features are genuinely unique — no other eSIM provider offers ad blocking and web protection. Traffic routing through Romania can introduce latency, but for most travelers, Saily is the strongest newcomer in the market.

Strengths

  • Built-in security features (Virtual Location, ad blocker, web protection) unique among eSIM providers
  • Budget-friendly pricing starting at $1.79/1GB — competitive with or cheaper than Airalo
  • Excellent Trustpilot rating (4.7/5) backed by NordVPN's brand credibility and infrastructure
  • Saily Ultra subscription ($60/mo) bundles unlimited data, NordVPN, and airport lounge access

Limitations

  • Traffic routed through Romania can cause higher latency for video calls and banking apps
  • App-only installation with no QR code or manual entry option
  • Newer to the market (launched 2024) with less coverage depth in remote areas

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)
