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)

aloSIM differentiates itself with a free phone number included on most plans via its Hushed sister app — a unique perk that no other eSIM provider offers. The app is straightforward and the 5% cashback is a nice touch. However, the lack of a global plan and inconsistent support limit its appeal for serious world travelers.
Strengths
- Free international phone number included with most data packages via Hushed partnership (unique)
- Very user-friendly app with clear step-by-step purchase and installation process
- Hotspot support across all plans plus 5% cashback credit on every purchase
- 11 regional packages covering multiple destinations under one eSIM profile
Limitations
- No global eSIM package — multi-region travel requires buying separate plans
- Customer support bot frequently misreads questions; human support can be inconsistent
- Inconsistent speeds in Eastern Europe and limited Africa/Middle East coverage
