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)

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
