What matters

We prefer Airalo

We prefer Airalo

Airalo covers more of the live catalog or starts cheaper on the same scale. Maya Mobile can still win a specific trip if the destination sheet says so.

Open Maya Mobile when the destination page shows a clearer network, hotspot rule or price for that itinerary. Do not crown a winner from the homepage.

Questions

Airalo vs Maya Mobile 2026: Compare eSIM prices+

Airalo covers more of the live catalog or starts cheaper on the same scale. Maya Mobile can still win a specific trip if the destination sheet says so.

When does Airalo make sense?+

Airalo is useful when you want a wide choice of local, regional and global packs. The deep catalog default for most trips. In our current sample: 3,298 priced plans across 211 destinations, median EUR 3.67/GB on limited packs. Partner networks change by country, so the destination comparison matters more than the brand.

Do you give this provider a score?+

No. We do not publish a customer rating or a best-provider badge. This page shows normalized catalog fields — price, data, validity, coverage, 5G and hotspot — plus sourced product notes. A commission on an outbound link does not change those numbers.

When does Maya Mobile make sense?+

Maya Mobile is built for travelers who prefer a daily rate over counting gigabytes. One reusable unlimited profile, including selected cruises. In our current sample: 8 priced plans across 180 destinations, prices from EUR 8.49. That convenience often costs more on a short, light trip. Fair-use and hotspot rules still sit on the destination plan, not on the brand name.
