Where Holafly is the better choice

Genuinely unlimited data plans, subject to a fair-use policy. If you stream heavily or cannot predict your usage, that is simpler than sizing a bundle.
A polished app and subscription model with a monthly allowance across many countries, which suits frequent travellers who want to stop thinking about it.
Established support operation with wide language coverage.
You can pay by card. Our eSIMs are cryptocurrency only, so if you hold none, Holafly is buyable today and we are not.

Where we differ

No account and no email. Holafly's login link is convenient, but it means your email address is the key to your purchase history.
No subscription and no automatic renewal — you pay once for what you chose, and nothing recurs.
Crypto at checkout, and hardened Pixel devices alongside the connectivity.

Which should you pick?

If you want unlimited data and do not mind an account tied to your email, Holafly is built for exactly that and does it well. Heavy streaming is a case where their model is simply better than ours.

Choose us if you would rather buy data without an account, avoid a recurring subscription, or pay in a way that does not carry your name.

Holafly questions

Does Holafly require an account?

Effectively yes. You enter an email and billing details at checkout, and access to your purchases is granted through a one-time login link sent to that address. There is no password, but the email is the key.

Can I pay Holafly in cryptocurrency?

No. Their published payment methods are cards, PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay. Ours is the reverse — eSIMs are cryptocurrency only, and cards are accepted on the privacy phone alone.

Is unlimited data really unlimited?

It is subject to a fair-use policy, which is standard across the industry — speeds are typically reduced after heavy daily use rather than the connection being cut. Read the specific policy before buying if you plan to stream heavily.

Which works out cheaper?

For heavy or unpredictable usage, an unlimited plan often wins. For a known, modest amount of data, a metered bundle is usually cheaper. Compare against what you actually use rather than the headline figure.
