Pros and cons
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.
Maya Mobile
Pros
- Unlimited data on every tier, with a daily high speed quota and standard speed once that quota is used
- Coverage of from 165 countries on major networks, with 5G and hotspot sharing both available
- A single pass that costs the same in every country it covers, from $9.99
Cons
- Fair use policy allows deprioritisation during congestion, so speeds can fall on a busy network
- High speed stops at a daily quota, then standard speed until the reset, which limits heavy streaming and tethering
- Entry price of $9.99 sits above the site median of €5
Who each suits
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.
Maya Mobile
Who it suits
- Budget travellers crossing several countries who want one pass instead of a plan per country
- Readers on short trips and long trips who prefer not to change plans as borders change
- Heavy browsers and streamers who accept standard speeds after a daily high speed quota
Who should look elsewhere
- Shoppers on entry price alone, where eSIMGo.is from $0.99 sits below Maya Mobile
- Readers who need a wider country list, since Zwitchy covers 200 countries
- Travellers buying one destination rather than a global pass, in the mould of SimToIsrael from $25

Questions about each
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.
Maya Mobile
How much does Maya Mobile cost?+
Plans start at $9.99, and the reference pricing runs across several validity lengths, from a short stay to a month-long one, all with unlimited data. The pass price holds in each covered country, so the total does not shift as the itinerary does.
Is the data really unlimited?+
Unlimited data is included, yes, and unlimited data, 5g and hotspot carries it as a plan feature. The fair use policy sets a daily high speed quota, with the connection holding standard speed once that quota is used and the quota resetting every day.
