Airalo is one of the largest travel eSIM marketplaces, with prepaid local, regional and global data packs plus an app-first install flow. Coverage spans 200+ destinations, with Airmoney rewards, top-ups and multi-device install options for families and frequent travelers.
Airalo is a strong default when you want a deep destination catalog and a mature mobile app. Public store scores sit around 4.6/5 on iOS and 4.5/5 on Android. Our live sample currently runs from €4.00 to €6.00, with a median limited-plan value of €4.00 per GB. Still compare by destination: partner networks and €/GB can differ sharply.
Full comparison rules are documented on the methodology page.
