Airalo vs Holafly in one paragraph
Holafly is the only one of these two with unlimited data for Austria, from $11.90 for 3 days up to $73.90 for 30. Airalo's Servus Austria plan is buckets only, and its 10 GB at $11 beats Ringo Light's 2 weeks at $14.99 if a fixed amount of data is enough. If you want unlimited, Ringo Light costs less than Holafly for 3 days, two weeks and a month.
Price: the same trip at each
Holafly's unlimited costs $11.90 for 3 days, $27.50 for a week, $50.50 for 15 days and $73.90 for 30 days. Airalo has nothing to set beside those, because it sells no unlimited plan for Austria.
Ringo Light sells three trips for Austria, all unlimited data at full speed: 3 days at $8.99, 2 weeks at $14.99 and 30 days at $26.99. Three days is $2.91 under Holafly's $11.90. Two weeks at $14.99 costs less than Holafly's week at $27.50, and it is $35.51 under Holafly's 15 days at $50.50. A month is $46.91 under, $26.99 against $73.90. There is no 7-day plan.
Buckets are Airalo's side of the table. 10 GB for 30 days is $11, less than Ringo Light's 2 weeks at $14.99, and it lasts 30 days against 2 weeks. 20 GB is $16, less than Ringo Light's 30 days at $26.99, for the same 30 days. Holafly sells no buckets, and neither does Ringo Light. We would rather you read that here than at checkout.
What unlimited means at each
Airalo has nothing unlimited for Austria, so its Servus Austria plan is just a fixed amount of data. Holafly states no daily cap for data on your own phone, and limits hotspot sharing to 1 GB a day. It sells days, not gigabytes. Ringo Light is unlimited data at full speed for the whole 3 days, 2 weeks or 30 days. Fair use policy, see Terms.
Networks and coverage in Austria
Austria has three networks: A1, Magenta and 3, also called Drei. All three cover Vienna, Salzburg, Innsbruck and Graz well, and the main rail lines. The Alps are the hard part. Deep valleys, high passes and the national parks have gaps on every network. Holafly's own page warns of weaker coverage in parts of Tyrol, the Hohe Tauern and the Salzkammergut.
Airalo does not name its Austrian network, Holafly names 3 (Drei) and Ringo Light rides a local partner network. None of the brands in the full comparison names Magenta. If you plan to hike or drive the high roads, download offline maps before you leave the valley, whichever eSIM you buy.
Installation, app and support
Airalo needs no app in Austria, since you can buy on its site or in its app. Holafly needs no app, because it sends a QR code you scan in your phone's settings. Ringo Light needs no app: the eSIM arrives by email in seconds, installs in one scan, and support is by email. Whichever you pick, install it at home before you fly and switch it on for data when you land.
The cheaper third option: Ringo Light
Ringo Light is our own data eSIM. For Austria it sells three trips, all unlimited data at full speed: 3 days at $8.99, 2 weeks at $14.99 and 30 days at $26.99. You pay once, nothing renews and there is no app.
What it does not do: no buckets, no 7-day plan, no phone number. It is data only, and calls go over apps that use data. If you want 10 GB for a month, Airalo sells it at $11. If you want exactly a week, Ringo Light has no 7-day plan, and its 2 weeks at $14.99 is the nearest length.
Saily, Nomad and Ubigi are priced the same day in the full comparison for Austria, at /blog/best-esim-for-austria. The card to buy Ringo Light is further up this page, just after the side-by-side table.
