Questions about each
Saily
How much does Saily cost?+
Saily starting price is listed at €29.66. Reference bundles include Japan access priced at €15.99, United States access priced at €20.49, and Europe access priced at €31.99. Travelers can compare these options against trip length and data needs before purchase.
How wide is Saily coverage?+
Saily covers 200 across regional and global plans. That scope suits multi country itineraries where travelers want regional plus global choice without changing provider. Coverage breadth helps when plans span Europe, the United States, Japan, and onward travel.
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.
