Pros and cons
Firsty
Pros
- One eSIM installation covers home use and every trip abroad
- Ad supported access in 171 countries without card or subscription
- Per GB and unlimited day or month choices under one account
Cons
- Entry access requires watching an ad to connect
- Use requires app download plus eSIM activation and roaming setup
Jetpac
Pros
- Connections come from Vodafone, AT&T and SoftBank, so a handset already on a major carrier usually settles on the local network fast.
- Bought data carries no fair use policy, so the full allowance keeps working at normal speed.
- Top-ups are available, which suits trips that outlast the bought data, and plans suit short trips and longer stays alike.
Cons
- The price per GB of $2 is above the €1.50 median, so heavy data users pay more than the cheaper sellers.
- The cheapest plan, $5, sits above the €2.87 lower end of the market, so a short trip costs more than it needs to.
- Unlimited plans are not uncapped: a fair use policy gives a daily allowance at standard speed, then slower speeds.
Who each suits
Firsty
Who it suits
- Travelers visiting several countries on one itinerary
- People who prefer one installation for repeat trips
Who should look elsewhere
- Travelers who do not want to manage data through an app
Jetpac
Who it suits
- Travellers crossing several borders who want one global plan rather than a separate eSIM per country.
- People who need hotspot sharing and 5G on the same plan, or who would rather not meter their data at all.
- Budgets that plan around a set data allowance, with top-ups available for whatever the trip uses after that.
Who should look elsewhere
- Not for the smallest budgets: eSIMGo.is starts at $0.99.
- Not for travellers who prefer a carrier's own pass priced in local currency, such as MTN at NGN 5,000.
- Not for anyone who needs unlimited data with no fair use limit, because a fair use policy slows speeds after a daily allowance.

Questions about each
Firsty
Where does Firsty work?+
Firsty connects in 176 countries with the same eSIM for home and travel. You keep one installation across trips. Nothing needs to be swapped when you land in a new place.
How does activation work?+
Download the Firsty app from a major app store and activate the eSIM. Enable roaming and select Firsty as the mobile data provider. Then watch a short ad or select a data choice to get connected.
Jetpac
How much does a Jetpac eSIM cost?+
Plans start at $5 and the price per GB begins at $2. Europe's larger data tier is $22, the US tier is $19 and Japan is $16. Unlimited plans sit above those prices but spare you from topping up mid-trip.
Is Jetpac's unlimited data really unlimited?+
Unlimited data is offered, but a fair use policy applies. Bought data has no fair use limit at all, while unlimited plans give a set daily allowance at standard speed and then drop to a much lower speed. Heavy streaming after that allowance is spent is where the difference shows.
