Theo's call
The short recommendation
Airalo has the broadest marketplace, Nomad is often price-competitive, Saily has a polished privacy-aware app, and Ubigi is strong for repeat travelers and devices.
Migration note
I compare the exact destination network, hotspot policy, validity clock, and support route. “Unlimited” is useful only after reading its local fair-use terms.
Verify current plan limits, regional availability, and data-export rules before purchase. “Reviewed 2026” is not a price guarantee.

It depends on the vendor export and the integrations you use. Export first, run both systems briefly, and verify the highest-risk workflow before canceling the original account.
Are these Holafly alternatives free?
Several have a free tier or trial, but limits differ. This comparison lists the billing model reviewed in July 2026 rather than a promotional price that may expire.
