1 · The short answer

Six travel eSIMs sell one plan for all of Europe and get most of the traffic for this search. We priced all six regional plans on the same day, for a long weekend in one city, two weeks across three or four countries by train, and a month, and read the fine print on unlimited and on which countries each plan covers. Here is where each one wins.

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.

4 · What to do in Europe, and what your phone needs for it

Eight places most first trips to Europe include, from Paris to Santorini, with the one thing your data does for you at each. All eight are in countries Ringo Light covers, and one eSIM follows you across every border between them.

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

Most Europe trips are two weeks and three or four countries: Paris, then Amsterdam, then down to Rome or Barcelona. For about two weeks of unlimited on a regional plan, Airalo Eurolink asks $49, Saily $49.99 and Holafly $50.50. Ubigi asks $35 for 30 GB at full speed. Nomad sells no Europe unlimited past 10 days. For a month, $62 to $73.90. Ringo Light charges $18.99 for 2 weeks and $28.99 for 30 days, one payment each, nothing renews.

Read what unlimited means before you pick. Airalo and Saily give 5 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps. Nomad gives 2 GB a day, then 1 Mbps. Ubigi gives 25 GB for 7 days, 30 GB for 15 days or 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 2 weeks or 30 days.

For a short trip, Ringo Light sells no 3-day or 7-day plan. Airalo sells 3 days of unlimited at $11.50 and Holafly at $11.90. For a week, though, our 2 weeks at $18.99 already costs less than any rival's 7 days: Ubigi $23, Airalo $27, Holafly $27.50.

6 · Which countries each Europe plan covers

A Europe plan is only as good as its country list, and the lists differ. Ringo Light covers 37 countries: the EU countries plus the UK, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, San Marino, Albania, Montenegro, Georgia and Turkey. Airalo's Eurolink covers 41, and it is the one to buy if your route runs through Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia or Ukraine, which Ringo Light does not cover. Holafly lists 33 countries including the UK and Ireland, Saily 35, Nomad 35 on its unlimited plans and Ubigi 38.

Check the list for every country on your route before you buy, whichever brand you pick. The UK and Switzerland are the two that catch people out: neither is in the EU, and a plan sold as EU only can skip them. Ringo Light, Airalo Eurolink and Nomad include both; for the others, read the country list at checkout.

7 · If you want a data bucket: Ubigi or Nomad

  • Ubigi, $15 for 10 GB. The cheapest 10 GB for 30 days across 38 countries. 25 GB is $29, and a 20 GB monthly plan at $19 that renews until you cancel it.
  • Nomad, $23 for 10 GB. And 20 GB for 30 days at $27, the cheapest one-off 20 GB here.
  • Airalo, $31 for 10 GB. Eurolink 20 GB for 30 days is $48, and Eurolink covers the most countries.
  • Saily, $35.99 for 10 GB. From a July listing; saily.com would not load for us.
  • ✓Ringo Light, no buckets. Our 2 weeks is unlimited for $18.99 and our 30 days unlimited for $28.99. For a fixed amount of data over a month, Ubigi is cheaper for 10 GB, by $3.99, and Nomad for 20 GB, by $1.99. Buy Ringo Light for unlimited, not for a bucket. We would rather you read that here than at checkout.

8 · What Ringo Light is

Ringo Light is our own data eSIM, sold to fund the full Ringo, one plan that works everywhere with your own number ported onto it. For Europe it sells two trips across 37 countries, both unlimited data at full speed with no speed cap: 2 weeks at $18.99 and 30 days at $28.99. One payment, nothing renews. The eSIM arrives by email in seconds and installs in one scan, no app. When you cross a border, it moves to a local network in the next country on its own.

The card to buy it is further up this page, just after the side-by-side table.

10 · Frequently asked questions

Which eSIM is cheapest for Europe?+
For two weeks or a month of unlimited data, Ringo Light: $18.99 for 2 weeks and $28.99 for 30 days on 28 September 2026, against $49 for 15 days and $71 for 30 days on Airalo Eurolink. For 3 days, Airalo at $11.50. For a 10 GB bucket, Ubigi at $15.
Which countries does a Europe eSIM cover?+
It depends on the brand. Ringo Light covers 37, including the UK, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Turkey. Airalo Eurolink covers 41 and adds Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia and Ukraine. Holafly lists 33, Saily 35, Nomad 35 and Ubigi 38. On the road, each eSIM joins a local network in whichever country you are in.
Is an unlimited eSIM really unlimited in Europe?+
Every brand has a limit somewhere. Airalo and Saily slow you after 5 GB a day, Nomad after 2 GB, Ubigi after its fixed full-speed amount. Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone. Ringo Light is unlimited data at full speed.
Do I need an eSIM if my phone plan covers EU roaming?+
If your home plan is from an EU country, roaming in the EU is usually included at home prices, within a fair use limit, though often not in the UK, Switzerland or Turkey. Travellers from the US, the UK, Canada or Australia usually pay a daily roaming fee in Europe, and that is where a travel eSIM saves money.

11 · How we compared, and our sources

We priced Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi and Ringo Light for Europe on 28 September 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.

Written and priced by the Ringo team. Prices change often; if you spot one that has moved, tell us through the contact page and we will update the table.
