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 Flexiroam
Group travelers who want to share data without hotspot battery drain, especially in Asia-Pacific destinations
Flexiroam is a veteran Malaysian-founded provider with the unique FlexiShare data-sharing feature that lets travel companions share data via the app — no other eSIM provider offers this. Smart data management features like rollover and auto-stacking add convenience. However, mid-to-premium pricing and inconsistent connectivity in some regions prevent it from standing out in an increasingly competitive market.
Strengths
- FlexiShare data-sharing lets travel companions share data without battery-draining hotspot tethering (unique)
- Extensive carrier network with 520+ operators across 200+ countries
- Smart data management features: Flexi Roll (rollover), Flexi Stack (auto plan switching), Flexi Start (delayed activation)
- Website available in 50+ languages with pricing displayed in 7 currencies
Limitations
- Mid-to-premium pricing that is more expensive than Airalo and Saily for solo travelers
- Inconsistent user experience with patchy connectivity reported in some European cities
- Unlimited plans throttled after 3GB daily usage; partner networks not disclosed on plan pages
