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 Ubigi
Tech-savvy travelers and business users who prioritize raw network speed and a single reusable eSIM profile
Ubigi is a premium, enterprise-grade eSIM powered by Transatel's two decades of telecom experience. It delivers the fastest tested speeds and a unique single-profile approach that avoids reinstalling eSIMs for each trip. The dated app and slow email-only support are notable weaknesses, but for performance-focused travelers, Ubigi is hard to beat on network quality.
Strengths
- Fastest eSIM tested overall with enterprise-grade network performance and strong 5G support
- Single eSIM profile that works across all destinations — install once, activate plans as needed
- Hotspot tethering support and unique virtual IP address feature for geo-restricted content
- Recurring monthly and yearly subscription plans ideal for frequent travelers
Limitations
- Dated app and website feel significantly less polished than competitors like Airalo or Saily
- Customer support is email-only with 24+ hour response times and no live chat option
- Android experience much less polished than iOS (3.8 vs 4.6 App Store ratings)
