Why vigxo costs less (the honest answer)
Consistently lower on the same plan, checked and dated. There is no trick — just a leaner model:
Direct supply, no reseller markup
We buy connectivity in bulk and pass it on with a margin that shrinks as the plan grows — the same networks the big apps resell, without the retail markup stacked on top.
Web-only — no app-store cut
Selling on the open web means no ~30% platform commission baked into the price you pay.
No ad budget in your bill
No airport billboards or influencer campaigns — the savings go into the per-GB price you can verify above.
Before you trust this page
Is vigxo actually cheaper?
On the plan shown above, on the date shown, yes — and that is the only claim we make. We publish the exact plan and the date we checked so you can verify it rather than take our word. Prices move; a comparison without a date is worth nothing.
Why is Holafly not a like-for-like comparison?
Holafly sells unlimited-data plans rather than fixed gigabytes, so there is no identical plan to line up. We show its closest option for the same trip length and label it plainly instead of leaving it out — omitting it would flatter us.
How often do you check these prices?
We re-check before we update any pricing claim, and the date on this page is the last time we did. If the date looks old, treat the competitor figures as indicative and check their sites.
The honest caveat
This is one plan on one date. Prices move, and on some routes a competitor may run a promo that beats us on a given day. We re-check before we make a claim, and every vigxo plan shows its own per-GB price so you can verify it yourself — no need to take our word for it.
