When to Choose GigSky
Frequent flyers and cruise travelers who need specialized inflight and maritime connectivity options
GigSky is the original Apple eSIM partner with 15 years of industry experience and unique offerings that no competitor can match — inflight, cruise, and offshore connectivity. The premium pricing and mixed reliability on specialty plans are notable weaknesses, but for travelers who need connectivity in unconventional environments, GigSky fills a niche no one else serves.
Strengths
- Apple's first eSIM partner with full MVNO status and 400+ carrier partnerships across 190+ countries
- Unique connectivity options including inflight (Panasonic Avionics), cruise ships, and offshore platforms
- Free 100MB trial for new users with the longest activation window in the industry (12 months)
- GigSky One subscription ($34/mo) provides year-round connectivity in 120+ countries
Limitations
- Premium pricing category ranked #32/38 — expensive compared to Airalo and Saily for basic travel data
- Cruise and specialty plan reliability issues reported by multiple users
- Customer support can be repetitive without fully resolving technical issues
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
