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.
Yesim
Pros
- A global balance from €0.92 per GB next to unlimited day passes, so you can pay for a week of data or a single heavy day.
- Coverage of 170 countries with hotspot sharing and instant activation on major host networks.
- Top-ups are available and the per GB balance never expires, which suits longer routes (short trip and long trip).
Cons
- The unlimited plan is metered in plan days: the next day is deducted only when you reconnect, so a long streaming session spends a day quickly.
- Support runs on email, help centre and community only, with no phone line listed.
- Coverage of 170 countries sits below Zwitchy's 200, which matters on trips that cross several regions at once.
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.
Yesim
Who it suits
- Travellers on short trips who want unlimited data for a set day instead of counting gigabytes.
- Longer routes where a toppable balance that never expires beats buying a fresh plan at each border.
- People who need hotspot sharing for a laptop or tablet while moving between countries.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone whose route needs the longest country list: Zwitchy covers 200.
- Travellers who only need a single destination: SimToIsrael lists prices from $25.
- Anyone who wants live phone support, since support runs on email, help centre and community.

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.
Yesim
How much does Yesim cost?+
Global Pay & Fly starts at €0.92 per GB, charged by the megabyte. Unlimited day passes are listed per destination, with the US, UK, Germany, France, Spain, Japan, Thailand, Turkey and Mexico each at its own rate, so you can mix a fixed run of unlimited days with pay as you go data.
Is the data really unlimited?+
Unlimited data is available on the day pass plans, and the fair use policy sets the limit. A plan day runs from the moment you connect, and the next day is deducted only when you reconnect after the previous one has expired, so a heavy streaming session uses up a full day quickly.
