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.
Ubigi
Pros
- Coverage of from 200 countries across local, regional and global plans.
- Prices start at $6 with the price per GB from $2.33.
- Hotspot sharing is included and top-ups are available, so an unplanned day does not end the connection.
Cons
- There is no unlimited data option, so every plan carries a set allowance that can run out.
- Support runs on email and help centre only, with no phone or chat line listed.
- Unused allowance is not refunded in cash under the fair use policy.
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.
Ubigi
Who it suits
- Travellers on short trip and long trip who want wide country coverage without a premium bill.
- People who need hotspot sharing for a laptop or tablet while moving between countries.
- Travellers who prefer one operator's own eSIM to a resale marketplace with many sellers.
Who should look elsewhere
- Travellers shopping purely on entry price, since eSIMGo.is lists a price from $0.99.
- Anyone who needs unlimited data, as Ubigi has no such plan.
- Buyers who want phone or chat support, because Ubigi runs on email and help centre only.

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.
Ubigi
How much do Ubigi eSIM plans cost?+
Plans start at $6 and the price per GB from $2.33. Listed reference pricing runs across Japan, Asia, a world plan and several Europe sizes, with larger Europe allowances priced higher than the smallest one. The brand sits in the budget model, so entry points are low rather than premium.
Does Ubigi sell unlimited data?+
No. Unlimited data is not part of the range, so every plan comes with a set data allowance that can be used up. Top-ups are available if you need more, and the fair use policy asks that the allowance is used for browsing, email and app use rather than heavy network load.
