The short answer

Six travel eSIMs sell a Brazil plan and get most of the traffic for this search. I priced all six on the same day, for a week in Rio, two weeks from Rio to Iguacu and Salvador, and a month, and I read the fine print on unlimited. Here is where each one wins, and where Ringo does not.

That is the full Ringo service: one plan that works everywhere, with your own number included.

It is a separate product from Ringo Light and it is still being built, so it is not on sale yet. Join the waitlist to hear when it opens.

What to do in Brazil, and what your phone needs for it

Eight places most first trips include, from Rio down to Iguacu and up to Salvador, the Lencois dunes and the Amazon, with the one thing your data does for you at each. Signal is good in the cities and on the coast; on the dunes and the rivers it drops, so offline maps matter.

If you want unlimited for two weeks or a month: Ringo Light

Brazil is big, and most first trips run two weeks: Rio, then a flight to Iguacu or Salvador. For 15 days of unlimited, Airalo and Ubigi ask $46, Saily $48.99 and Holafly $51.50. Nomad stops at 10 days for $31. Ringo Light charges $37.99 for 2 weeks, nothing renews. That is the plan I would buy for two weeks.

For a month Ringo Light is the cheapest too, at $64.99. Ubigi sells 30 days at $69, $4.01 more, with 5 GB a day at full speed and 2 Mbps after that. Airalo asks $85, Saily $89.99 and Holafly $100.50.

Read what unlimited means before you pick. Airalo and Saily give 3 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps. Nomad gives 2 GB a day. Ubigi gives 5 GB a day, then 2 Mbps. Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone and limits sharing to 1 GB a day. Ringo Light is unlimited data at full speed for 7 days, 2 weeks or 30 days. If you use a lot of data a day, that difference is what I would weigh.

For 3 days I would skip Ringo Light, which sells no 3-day plan; its 7 days at $14.99 costs $2.99 more than Airalo's 3 days at $12. For a week, Ringo Light's 7 days at $14.99 is cheaper than every rival's, the cheapest of them being Airalo at $25.

Which network works best in Brazil

Brazil has three national networks: Vivo, Claro and TIM. All three cover Rio, Sao Paulo, Salvador, Foz do Iguacu and most of the coast. Coverage thins out in the Amazon, on the dunes of Maranhao and on long roads through the interior, whichever network you are on. Airalo rides Vivo, Nomad TIM, Ubigi TIM and Vivo, and Holafly lists all three. For the cities and the beaches, I think any of them works; for remote places, I would download offline maps before you go.

If you want a data bucket: Ubigi or Nomad

  • Ubigi, $19 for 10 GB. The cheapest 10 GB I found, on TIM and Vivo, installed by QR code, no app needed. Its 20 GB is a monthly plan at $19 that renews.
  • Nomad, $22 for 10 GB. The cheapest one-off 20 GB I found, at $35, on TIM.
  • Airalo, $23 for 10 GB. Its Maneiro plan: 20 GB for $36, buckets from $4 for 1 GB.
  • Saily, $24.99 for 10 GB. 20 GB at $39.99. I read this on saily.com, 25 October 2026; not readable on 10 November 2026, figure kept.
  • ✓Ringo Light, no buckets. Its 2 weeks is unlimited for $37.99 and its 30 days unlimited for $64.99. For a fixed amount of data, Nomad, Ubigi, Airalo and Saily are all cheaper in Brazil. I would buy Ringo Light for unlimited, not for a bucket.

What Ringo Light is

Ringo Light is the data eSIM Ringo sells to fund the full Ringo, one plan that works everywhere with your own number ported onto it. For Brazil it sells three trips, all unlimited data with no speed cap: 7 days at $14.99, 2 weeks at $37.99 and 30 days at $64.99. Nothing renews. The eSIM arrives by email in seconds and installs in one scan, no app.

In Brazil it is the cheapest two weeks of unlimited of the six. It is the cheapest month too: Ubigi is $4.01 more. The card to buy it is further up this page, just after the side-by-side table.

One more thing to know: the Ringo Light Latin America trip covers Brazil as well, at $47.99 for 2 weeks and $65.99 for 30 days, the same unlimited data with no speed cap on one eSIM that also works in the neighbouring countries. If you only need Brazil, I would buy the Brazil plan, which is the cheaper Ringo Light today; the Latin America page compares the other one with the same brands.

Pick by trip

A long weekend in Rio

Airalo unlimited, 3 days, $12. Ringo Light sells no 3 days, so I would pass on it here.

A week in Rio

Ringo Light unlimited, 7 days, $14.99, against $25 at Airalo. I would only move to its 2 weeks at $37.99 if the trip might run longer.

Two weeks, Rio to Iguacu and Salvador

Ringo Light unlimited, 2 weeks, $37.99, less than any rival charges for 15 days. My pick.

Two weeks, light use, budget first

Ubigi 10 GB for 30 days at $19, or Nomad at $22. I would count gigabytes here and not pay for unlimited.

A month in Brazil

Ringo Light, 30 days, $64.99, unlimited data at full speed. Ubigi is $69 with 5 GB a day at full speed, and I would pick it only if you want the dual network.

You need your own number to keep ringing

None of these travel plans does that. The full Ringo, which Ringo Light funds, ports the number you have, and I know of no other route to it.

Frequently asked questions

Which eSIM is cheapest for Brazil?+
For two weeks of unlimited data, I found Ringo Light cheapest at $37.99 on 10 November 2026, against $46 for 15 days at Airalo and Ubigi. For a month, Ringo Light at $64.99, against $69 at Ubigi. For 3 days, Airalo at $12. For a 10 GB bucket, Ubigi at $19.
Which Brazilian network will my travel eSIM use?+
Airalo rides Vivo, Nomad TIM, Ubigi TIM and Vivo, and Holafly lists Claro, TIM and Vivo. I found no network named for Saily on its listing. All three networks cover the big cities and the coast.
Is an unlimited eSIM really unlimited in Brazil?+
Every brand has a limit somewhere, and I read each one. Airalo and Saily slow you after 3 GB a day, Nomad after 2 GB, Ubigi after 5 GB. Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone. Ringo Light is unlimited data at full speed.
Can I just buy a local SIM at the airport in Brazil?+
You can, but a Brazilian prepaid line has to be registered to an ID, usually a CPF, the Brazilian tax number. Carrier shops can register a line to a passport, which takes time and a queue. I would skip that: a travel eSIM needs none of it and works as you land.

How we compared, and our sources

Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi, Ringo Light

We priced Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi and Ringo Light for Brazil on 10 November 2026, all on the same day, in US dollars. Each rival's price comes from its own website where it showed dollars, otherwise from an esimdb.com listing, and every source and its date is listed below. Ringo Light's prices come from the catalogue our checkout charges.

We compare the trips people actually book: a week, two weeks and a month of unlimited data, and a 10 GB bucket. We read each brand's fair use and speed rules and quote them as the brands state them. We did not run speed tests, so this page makes no speed claims for any brand.

Ringo Light is our own product. We put it in the table on the same terms as everyone else, and where a rival is the better buy the page says so.

Left out: Maya Mobile. We could not read its own prices for this country on the day, so it stays out rather than being guessed.
