The short answer
Six travel eSIMs sell a Croatia plan and get most of the traffic for this search. I priced all six on the same day, for a week in Dubrovnik, two weeks down the coast from Split with ferries to the islands, and a month, and I read the fine print on unlimited. Here is where I think each one wins.
Unlimited data at full speed for 2 weeks at $16.99 or 30 days at $26.99, nothing renews. Airalo asks $38.50 for 15 days and $58.50 for the month.
3 days of unlimited at $9.50 on Telemach, 3 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps.
10 GB for 30 days at $12 on A1, installed by QR code, no app needed.
20 GB for 30 days at $21 on Telemach and A1, and 10 GB at $15.
Prices read on 11 November 2026: Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi on their own sites or listings, Ringo Light from its catalogue. All in US dollars unless stated. Treat every number as a snapshot.

The prices, charted
US dollars, 11 November 2026. The rivals sell 15 days, Ringo Light 2 weeks. Ubigi has no 15-day Croatia plan; its Europe plan is 30 GB at full speed, then 2 Mbps. Nomad stops at 10 days.
The 30-day plan at each brand. Ringo Light is unlimited data at full speed. Ubigi's month is 60 GB at full speed, then 2 Mbps. Nomad sells no 30-day unlimited.
Holafly sells no buckets. Ringo Light sells no bucket either: its 2 weeks is unlimited and lasts 2 weeks, not 30 days.

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 Croatia, and what your phone needs for it
Eight places most first trips include, from Dubrovnik up the coast to Istria and inland to Zagreb, with the one thing your data does for you at each. The coast and the towns have good 4G and 5G; the lakes and small islands are where signal thins.
If you want unlimited for two weeks or a month: Ringo Light
Croatia is a one or two week trip for most people: Split, a ferry to Hvar, the drive to Dubrovnik, a day at Plitvice. I compared the plans on that kind of trip. For 15 days of unlimited, Airalo asks $38.50, Saily $48.99 and Holafly $51.50. Ubigi sells no 15-day Croatia plan; its Europe plan gives 30 GB at full speed for $35. For a month, $49 to $76.50. Ringo Light charges $16.99 for 2 weeks and $26.99 for 30 days, nothing renews.
I would read what unlimited means before you pick. Airalo gives 3 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps. Saily gives 5 GB a day, Nomad 2 GB. Ubigi gives a fixed amount, 60 GB for the month, 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 the whole 7 days, 2 weeks or 30 days.
For a short trip, Ringo Light sells no 3-day plan. Airalo sells 3 days of unlimited at $9.50, and Ubigi a week with 20 GB at full speed for $20. The Ringo Light 7 days at $5.99 still costs less than either, and than any rival's week, so I would buy it for anything from a long weekend up.
Which network works best in Croatia, and the islands
Croatia has three networks: Hrvatski Telekom, A1 and Telemach. All three cover the cities, the coast road and the big islands like Hvar, Brač and Korčula. Signal thins on the small islands, in the mountains and deep inside the national parks; Holafly says as much on its own page. Most travel eSIMs here ride Telemach or A1. None of the six names Hrvatski Telekom.
One quirk: the coast between Split and Dubrovnik is cut by a few kilometres of Bosnia and Herzegovina at Neum. The Pelješac Bridge lets cars go round it since 2022, but some buses still cross. Bosnia is outside the EU, so a Croatia plan will not work there for those twenty minutes. I would download your map before you leave Split.
If you want a data bucket: Ubigi or Nomad
- Ubigi, $12 for 10 GB. The cheapest 10 GB for 30 days, on A1 with 5G, installed by QR code, no app needed. 25 GB is $24.
- Nomad, $15 for 10 GB. And the cheapest 20 GB at $21, on Telemach and A1.
- Airalo, $17 for 10 GB. Its Cronet plan, 20 GB for $25.50. The app is needed.
- Saily, $17.99 for 10 GB. 20 GB at $27.99. Its listing is dated 4 October; saily.com refused the fetch.
- ✓Ringo Light, no buckets. The 2 weeks is unlimited for $16.99 and the 30 days unlimited for $26.99. For 10 GB that lasts a month, Ubigi at $12 is the better buy, and Nomad sells 20 GB for $21, a little under the Ringo Light 30 days. I would rather you read that here than at checkout.
What Ringo Light is
Ringo Light is the data eSIM Ringo sells to fund the full Ringo, and I write for Ringo. It is one plan that works everywhere with your own number ported onto it. For Croatia it sells three trips, all unlimited data at full speed with no speed cap: 7 days at $5.99, 2 weeks at $16.99 and 30 days at $26.99. Nothing renews. The eSIM arrives by email in seconds and installs in one scan, no app.
The card to buy it is further up this page, just after the side-by-side table.
Pick by trip
Airalo unlimited, 3 days, $9.50. Ringo Light sells no 3 days; its 2 weeks is $16.99 if the trip might run longer.
Ringo Light unlimited, 7 days at $5.99 or 2 weeks at $16.99, either less than any rival charges for one week.
Ubigi 10 GB for 30 days at $12.
Ringo Light unlimited, 30 days, $26.99.
None of these travel plans does that. The full Ringo, which Ringo Light funds, ports the number you have.

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.
