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
