TonMobile leads the board on price per day, payment and privacy, and activation terms. Saily, Airalo, Maya Mobile and Ubigi lead on daily data, and Airalo on country count. The right pick depends on your route, so read the criteria, not only the total.

The ranking in detail
TonMobile
Lowest price per day for one-country trips. Best for: city breaks and one- to two-week stays in a single country.
TonMobile lists seven-day unlimited plans at $16.50 for France and the UK and $17.70 for Spain, Germany, Portugal, Greece and the Netherlands (October 2026). Buying needs no documents, and cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and crypto are accepted. The Europe plan covers 35 countries but has fixed data, not unlimited.
Pros
- Lowest price per day for single-country unlimited plans

- Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay and crypto payments
- 180-day activation window and in-app top-ups
Cons
- Only 1 GB of full-speed data per day
- No regional unlimited plan for Europe
- Data-only, no phone number
Ubigi
Large fair-use allowance on one Europe plan. Best for: longer multi-country trips with a lot of data.
Ubigi lists a Europe Unlimited plan for 7, 15 and 30 days across 38 destinations, including the UK, Switzerland and Norway. On the 7-day plan page a fair use limit of 25 GB applies, after which the speed is reduced. It accepts many card types, Apple Pay, Google Pay and PayPal.
Pros
- Large full-speed allowance on the plan page
- Wide list of payment methods

Pros
- Broad coverage
- Two unlimited tiers
- Established app
Cons

- Plans up to 30 days
Cons
- Roughly 75% more than TonMobile for a seven-day trip

Pros
- 43 countries

Cons
- Final prices are shown in the app and vary

Pros
- Hotspot allowed on all plans
- High daily allowance
Cons
- Sources disagree on the country list
- Official pages were hard to verify
Jetpac
Many lengths and unlimited hotspot, per its own blog. Best for: short and mid-length trips that need flexible durations.

Pros
- Many plan lengths

Cons
- Conflicting prices and country counts between sources

Yesim
No ID check and cheap fixed plans. Best for: travellers with modest data needs who prefer fixed plans.

Pros
- No ID check stated
- Fixed plans from 1 GB
- Refund window for unused plans
Cons
- Daily limit on unlimited not published

Nomad
Short unlimited trips and a cheap large fixed plan. Best for: five- to ten-day trips, or travellers under 1.5 gb a day.

- Simple short unlimited plans
Cons
- No unlimited plan longer than 10 days
- Mid-range daily allowance
Holafly
No published daily cap on phone data. Best for: travellers who want no fixed daily number for phone use.

Pros
- No published daily cap for phone use
- Simple plan lengths
Cons
- Fair use slowdowns are not quantified
- Tight hotspot limit
- Highest 30-day price among the five providers with listed prices
Flexiroam
Fixed-data Europe packs with a required app. Best for: travellers who want a large fixed pack for a short trip.
Flexiroam's Europe page lists fixed packs such as 10 GB for 3 days and 100 GB for 15 days, plus an Unlimited tab. We could not confirm the unlimited details, the country list or the hotspot rule, so its scores are conservative.
Pros
- Large fixed packs for short trips
Cons
- Unlimited details not confirmed in our sources
- Hotspot rule not confirmed

FAQ
How are the scores calculated?
Six criteria are scored from 0 to 10 and averaged. The criteria and what each one rewards are listed on the methodology page.
Can a provider pay to move up the ranking?
No. Positions are not sold. The disclosure page explains how the site is funded and what that means for links.
Why is a provider with a lower daily allowance ranked first?
Because the total averages six criteria and price per day, payment options and flexibility weigh as much as the daily allowance. A heavy streamer should read the daily data column first.
How current are the prices?
Prices are listed as of October 2026 and change often. Always confirm the final figure at checkout.
Why these eleven providers?
The rating covers TonMobile and ten competitors that sell a Europe plan with an unlimited or large-allowance option. Where a detail could not be sourced, the score is conservative and the card says so.
