Holafly alternatives for Australians
Ryvo is our brand.
That makes this an argument, not a review, so we have put the ranking rules above the ranking, linked every rival fact to the rival's own page, and left Holafly at the top of the row it deserves.
For a week in Japan, Airalo publishes the clearest cap of Holafly's rivals and our plans print the total you get on the card.
Holafly still wins one thing outright: one eSIM that follows you across many countries.

Who should pick which
You are hopping between many countries and would rather not think about it
Pick: Holafly
Its global plan carries one eSIM across a long list of countries with no total to keep an eye on.
Our World plan has a fixed total, so for a long multi-country trip Holafly is the easier buy and we will say so.
You want to know, before paying, how much runs at full speed
Pick: Ryvo
Our day pass names the amount you get each day, what the speed drops to after it, and when the clock resets.
It is on the card, not in a help centre.
You are heavy on data for one short trip
Pick: Airalo
Airalo is the only seller here that publishes both the full-speed amount per day and the speed after it, and it puts no limit on sharing the connection with a laptop.
You want Australian dollars and Afterpay at the checkout
Pick: Simify
Simify sells from Sydney, prices in Australian dollars and offers Afterpay.
We offer none of those three.
Its price per gigabyte is the highest in this table.

How we compared
What each rule checks
- Does it tell you what you get each day. Holafly's weakness is the thing nobody publishes. A seller that names the daily amount and the slower speed after it ranks above one that leaves both to a help page.
- Does one eSIM cross borders. Holafly's global plan does, which is why it sits in this table even though we sell nothing that behaves the same way.
- What the week costs, and the month. The seller's own total for the plan's own length, plus that total divided by its days, each kept in the currency it was published in.
- Sharing and stretching. Whether a laptop can use the connection without a separate cap, and whether more data can be added to the eSIM already in the phone.
How this page is built
Our own rows come out of the catalogue that feeds our product pages and our checkout. Nobody types a Ryvo price or limit into this page, so it cannot say one thing here and another at the till, and a plan taken off sale drops out of the table.
Everything in a competitor row is that seller's published wording, with a link to the page and the day somebody opened it. A blank cell means we looked and found nothing to quote. No review on this page was written by us, and we publish no reviews of ourselves anywhere.
Three months is the oldest a fact on this page may be. Past that our own test suite refuses the build, which forces the weekly read to refresh it.
Where you sit in the table means nothing. Our rows come first because we wrote the page, then each rival in the order we cite it, and the lengths differ because that is what each seller sells. The per-day figure is there so a week and a month can still be weighed against each other.
One gap is left open. Neither Holafly page we read says whether a trip can be extended on the eSIM already installed, so those cells stay blank rather than carrying an answer we would be guessing at.
Per day is the published total divided by the plan's own days, rounded to the nearest cent. Prices stay in the currency each provider published, because a rate we picked on the day is not a price anyone published.

Questions about this comparison
Is Holafly ever the better choice?
Yes.
If you are crossing a lot of borders on one trip, its global eSIM covers a long list of countries with no data total to watch, and we sell nothing that works the same way.
Our World plan gives you a fixed total instead.
Why does the hotspot column matter so much?
Because a laptop can eat a trip's data in an afternoon.
Holafly publishes a separate daily sharing limit, Airalo publishes none, and our plans share the same allowance you already bought.
If you work from a laptop, read that column first.
Why is Holafly's price in US dollars and Airalo's in euro?
That is what each site showed us from an Australian connection on the day we read it.
We publish the figure as published rather than converting it, since a rate we picked would be the only number here you could not check.
Can one Ryvo eSIM cover several countries?
Our World plan does, with a fixed data total across a long list of countries.
If watching a total is the part you want to avoid, Holafly's global plan is the one to look at, and the table shows what each of them costs over its own length.
Do any of these come with a phone number?
No.
Every plan in this table carries data only, so none of them gives you a local number for calls or texts.
If someone needs to ring you, they ring your usual number on your usual SIM.
How often does somebody check these figures?
Every competitor fact here carries the day it was read, and our build fails once any of them passes three months old.
So a date on this page is either recent or about to be replaced, and you can open the link and check it yourself.
Can I keep my Australian number if I switch?
Yes, with any of these sellers.
A travel eSIM carries data only, so your usual SIM stays in the phone for calls and texts and the eSIM handles mobile data.
Nothing here replaces your number.
In short
Holafly is still the easier buy for a long multi-country trip, because one eSIM follows you with no total to watch.
Ryvo is the pick when you want to read the daily amount, the speed after it and the reset time on the card instead of in a help centre.
Simify is the pick for Australian dollars and Afterpay.
