- vigxo$13.99 · $1.40/GB
- Nomad$16.00 · 1.1×
- Airalo$18.00 · 1.3×

Competitor prices are from their public sites for the same plan, checked on the date shown. Holafly sells unlimited-data plans only, so no 10 GB equivalent exists; the figure shown is their 30-day plan, matched to this comparison's 30-day validity. Our own figure is deliberately NOT stored here — it is derived from the live catalogue on every render, so it can never drift from what we actually charge. Competitor prices are re-checked before every claim update.

The honest answer
How is this
so cheap?
Fair question — you should ask why anything costs less. Here’s the whole trick: there is no trick.
01 Direct supply.
We buy connectivity in bulk and pass it straight on. Our margin shrinks as the plan grows, instead of the retail markup the big apps stack on top.
02 Web-only, no app-store cut.
Selling on the open web means no 30% platform commission baked into your price.
03 No ad budget in your bill.
No airport billboards, no influencer campaigns — the savings go into the per-GB price you can verify above.
Traveling together? The price drops.
Buy for everyone in one checkout and the whole order gets cheaper. No code to enter and no minimum spend — the discount is applied automatically at the last step.
| Group size | Discount |
|---|---|
| 2 people | 5% off |
| 3 people | 7.5% off |
| 4 people | 10% off |
| 5 people | 12.5% off |
| 6 people or more | 15% off |
Where the discount comes from
Card processing charges a fixed fee once per order, not once per eSIM, so five eSIMs bought together genuinely cost us less than five bought separately. We hand that back — and take a thinner margin on top, because a group of five is one sale to win instead of five.
- Applied automatically at checkout. There is no code to enter.
- Everyone gets the same plan. Each traveler receives their own install link and QR code by email, clearly labeled.
- It does not stack with a promo code — whichever saves you more is the one that applies.
Coverage
The network locals use — not the fallback.
In Australia, vigxo connects to Optus. The big apps often route you to a fallback network — every vigxo plan names its networks before you pay.
networks re-verified per destination
Data-only, hotspot included, no daily cap. Coverage is strongest in cities and along transit, and thins in remote areas — as on every network.
