Our verdict on each
Ninja WiFi
Ninja WiFi suits Japan trips where you would rather carry a device than install an app, and where daily price is the main thing you weigh. Daily price runs at ¥440, plans start from ¥770, and unlimited data is on the list.
TravlFi
TravlFi suits families and small groups traveling together, since a shared pocket WiFi covers a whole party rather than each traveler buying a separate plan, and connections run 10 to 128 devices. Group size support and Free shipping, delivery to customer address make it a practical pick for parties that skip the supplier desk.

Pros and cons
Ninja WiFi
Pros
- Daily price of ¥440 keeps a short Japan trip easy to budget.
- Unlimited data is on offer, listed as the unlimited data feature, and the capped plans slow down past the daily cap.
- Pickup at airport counters or courier delivery to your hotel, with a counter, courier or airport return box for the return.
Cons
- Support runs on phone and help centre only, with no chat or email listed for questions on the ground.
- Unlimited data comes with strings: past the daily cap the speed drops, and very heavy use in a day can suspend the service, with a fair use policy that says Excessive use may cause reduced speed.
- It is built for a single market, with JP as its home country, so it does not stretch beyond Japan.
TravlFi
Pros
- Connections run 10 to 128 devices, so a family or a coach party can share a single unit.
- Data choices of 2 GB to 200 GB, plus Unlimited (fair use above 1.2TB/mo) leave room for a light plan and a heavy one inside the same rental.
- Free shipping, delivery to customer address, so the device can be in hand before departure rather than collected at a supplier desk.
Cons
- The smallest data option is small: 2 GB to 200 GB, plus Unlimited (fair use above 1.2TB/mo) starts with a light allowance that suits browsing rather than streaming.
- Unlimited is bounded, because the fair use limit attached to 2 GB to 200 GB, plus Unlimited (fair use above 1.2TB/mo) caps a heavy month instead of removing it.
- Terms run through Pace International, with US the home country listed and 1972 the founding year, so a group organizer should read them before a large booking.
Who each suits
Ninja WiFi
Who it suits
- You land in Japan and want a device in your bag the same day, with airport counter pickup or courier delivery to your accommodation.
- You browse, stream and map all day and want unlimited data, with a daily cap you can live inside.
- You travel solo or as a pair, since the device handles 2 devices at once.
Who should look elsewhere
- WOM Chile, listed at CLP 3,990 a day, fits a Chile trip better than a Japan-only device.
- QCell, whose roaming data packages cover 50MB to 2GB per roaming data package, suits a traveller who wants data across markets rather than one home country.
TravlFi
Who it suits
- Families and coach-sized groups who want every traveler on a shared connection rather than separate SIMs.
- Long trips with heavy data use, since the allowance range climbs toward an Unlimited option that still carries a fair use limit.
- Organizers who value delivery over collection, since Free shipping, delivery to customer address and support on email, phone and help centre keep the arrival day simple.
Who should look elsewhere
- Travelers shopping only on the lowest daily rate, since Cherry Roam lists PHP 50 a day on its own local pricing.
- Travelers whose trip sits in a single market and want that provider's own terms, since Travelist WiFi lists ¥770 a day.
- Travelers on a tight daily budget, who should weigh Econet Telecom Lesotho at LSL 71.68 a day before settling on a shared rental.

Questions about each
Ninja WiFi
How much does Ninja WiFi cost per day?+
Plans run at ¥440 a day, with the entry point quoted at ¥770. Unlimited data sits inside the range rather than being sold as a separate data top-up, so the daily rate carries the whole cost. Pick the plan length that matches how long you are in the country.
Is the data allowance really unlimited?+
Unlimited data is listed as available, and it shows as the unlimited data feature. The catch sits in the allowance: the capped plans reduce speed once you pass the daily cap, and use beyond a very heavy daily total may suspend the service. So read unlimited as generous rather than endless.
TravlFi
How much is a TravlFi pocket WiFi per day?+
The daily rate is $19, and that figure is what a group pays per rental rather than per traveler, so a party of friends or family shares one line item. Because 10 to 128 devices is the device range, the kit can cover a whole group rather than handing out separate connections.
What data allowance comes with a TravlFi plan?+
Allowances are set by plan and run 2 GB to 200 GB, plus Unlimited (fair use above 1.2TB/mo). That spread covers everything from a light browsing plan for a short city break up to a heavy allowance for a long trip, and an Unlimited option sits alongside them. Pick the tier that matches how the group actually uses data in a given month.
