Our verdict on each
M1
M1 suits short-trip travellers who want a carrier's own plan rather than a marketplace. Daily Passport roaming starts at SGD 2.95, a Tourist SIM is aimed at visitors to Singapore, and coverage reaches 78 countries on a regional basis, with 5G available.
Orange Polska
Orange Polska is the travel eSIM pick for anyone leaving Poland who wants a carrier plan instead of a resale marketplace, covering from 100 countries on a global footprint. Hotspot sharing, top-ups and instant activation come as standard, and a used package simply stops rather than billing extra.

Questions about each
M1
What does M1 roaming cost from?+
Daily Passport roaming from SGD 2.95 is the entry point, below the site median price of €5. The same reference lists a Tourist SIM for Singapore visitors, so the same short-trip audience can pick either a day pass or a visitor plan.
How many countries does M1 cover?+
Coverage runs to 78 countries on a regional basis, which is well short of Zwitchy at 200. Multi-continent itineraries that cross several regions are better served by a wider plan, so a holiday inside the footprint suits M1 better.
Orange Polska
How much does an Orange Polska travel eSIM cost?+
Packages start at PLN 5, which sits below the €5 median entry price across the comparison. That makes the carrier plan an accessible starting point for a single trip, and top-ups let you add data later if a journey runs longer than planned.
How much do packages cost in different destinations?+
A package in the EU is PLN 45, the USA is PLN 80 and Japan is PLN 79. Published per GB rates follow the same order, with the EU cheapest and Egypt, Thailand and the USA dearest, so the price per GB is worth checking before you pick a destination.
