Saily eSIM Review 2026: Prices from $2.99/GB

Full Saily review

Coverage

At $2.99-3.99/GB, Saily sits between the ultra-cheap Nomad and the pricier Airalo. You get 200+ destinations, solid reach across Europe, the Americas, and Asia, with some gaps in remote African and Pacific markets. The price-per-destination ratio is strong when you factor in the free VPN.

Speed

Saily taps KDDI au for Japan coverage, Vodafone across the UK, and T-Mobile stateside. Both 4G LTE and 5G are available where the partner carrier supports them. Measured speeds at major airports and city centers are on par with Airalo on comparable carrier partnerships.

App experience

The app puts your eSIM management and VPN toggle on the same screen. Switch the VPN on before connecting to hotel Wi-Fi or airport networks. App store scores: 4.5 on iOS, 4.3 on Android. The interface is straightforward without the data-heavy dashboard Airalo offers.

Pricing

Entry plans start at $2.99/GB on budget routes and reach $3.99/GB in premium markets. Factor in a standalone NordVPN subscription at roughly $4-5/month and Saily's total cost of ownership beats buying eSIM plus VPN separately. No unlimited tier exists, so heavy daily users should look at Holafly.

Support

Support runs through email with typical resolution in 12-24 hours. There is no live chat and no phone line. For most installation questions the in-app guide handles it. Urgent mid-trip issues require patience.

Our verdict

Pick Saily when you want the cheapest all-in price for data plus VPN protection. If you never use a VPN, the per-GB rate is close enough to Airalo that breadth and app quality tip the balance toward Airalo for most trips.
