When to Choose Airalo
Budget travelers on short trips who want the widest plan selection and per-GB value across 200+ countries
Airalo is the Amazon of travel eSIMs — the largest marketplace with unmatched plan variety across 200+ countries. Its per-GB pricing is hard to beat for light-to-moderate data users, and the Discover+ plan uniquely adds calls and SMS. The lack of unlimited data and inconsistent customer support keep it from perfection, but for flexibility and value, Airalo remains the market leader.
Strengths
- Largest eSIM marketplace with 200+ countries and massive plan variety (local, regional, global)
- Affordable pricing starting at ~$3.50/1GB with the cheapest per-GB rates for small data packs
- Intuitive app with loyalty rewards program (Airmoney) and easy setup process
- Global Discover+ plan uniquely supports calls and SMS alongside data
Limitations
- No unlimited data plans — data cuts off abruptly when depleted
- Customer support over-reliant on AI chatbots with a stingy refund policy (Trustpilot 3.7/5)
- Initial connectivity can take up to 30 minutes in new destinations
When to Choose Jetpac
Frequent flyers who value airport lounge access and travel lifestyle perks alongside budget eSIM data
Jetpac stands out with unique travel lifestyle perks — the Smart Delay feature providing free lounge access on flight delays is something no other eSIM provider offers. Budget pricing and excellent WhatsApp-based support are strong points. However, inconsistent network performance and limited coverage compared to market leaders make it better suited for casual travelers than connectivity-focused users.
Strengths
- Smart Delay feature provides free airport lounge access on 60+ minute flight delays (unique perk)
- Budget-friendly introductory pricing with 20% bulk buy discounts
- Excellent Trustpilot rating (5 stars) with 24/7 support via WhatsApp
- JetFlex and JetPro subscriptions bundle data with travel perks and insurance
Limitations
- Inconsistent network performance with poor upload speeds and high latency due to traffic routing
- Narrower global coverage (96 countries on global plan vs Airalo's 200+)
- Android users may need manual APN configuration; Voice feature iOS-only and still in beta
