Ubigi is cheaper at $25 and $39, with a fixed amount at full speed. Ringo Light charges $12.99 for 2 weeks and $21.99 for 30 days, one payment each, nothing renews.

Ubigi sells 30 GB at full speed for 15 days or 60 GB for 30, then 2 Mbps. Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone and limits sharing to 1 GB a day. Ringo Light has no speed cap: the 2 weeks starts with 10 GB and the 30 days with 20 GB, and when you have used 80% we add 10 GB once and charge the $12.99 top-up. A heavy two weeks with us costs $25.98, a heavy month $34.98, still under every rival for the month.

Saily, $19.99 for 10 GB. On all four networks, 20 GB at $31.99. Its listing is from June; saily.com would not load for us.
Ringo Light, no buckets. Our 2 weeks starts with 10 GB for $12.99 and our 30 days with 20 GB for $21.99. If you need 10 GB to last a whole month, Ubigi at $10 is the better buy, and Nomad sells 20 GB for $21. We would rather you read that here than at checkout.

Every brand has a limit somewhere. Airalo slows you after 3 GB a day, Saily after 5 GB, Nomad after 2 GB, Ubigi after its fixed full-speed amount. Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone. Ringo Light has no speed cap: it starts with 10 or 20 GB and adds 10 GB once at 80%, charged.
If your home plan is from an EU country, roaming in France is usually included at home prices, within a fair use limit. Travellers from the US, the UK, Canada or Australia usually pay a daily roaming fee, and that is where a travel eSIM saves money.
