The short answer
I priced a trip on 25 October 2026 that runs from Rome and Venice to Split and Dubrovnik, with a ferry or a short flight across the Adriatic in the middle. One Europe eSIM from Ringo Light covers Italy and Croatia for $22.99 for 2 weeks or $35.99 for 30 days, unlimited data at full speed. Airalo Eurolink asks $49 for 15 days and $71 for 30 days. My pick for the whole trip is the Ringo Light 2 weeks.
One eSIM for both: unlimited data at full speed for 2 weeks at $22.99 or 30 days at $35.99, nothing renews. Airalo Eurolink asks $49 for 15 days and $71 for the month.
10 GB for 30 days at $15 across 38 countries. Its 15 days is 30 GB at full speed, then 2 Mbps, for $35.
Eurolink lists 41 countries, Serbia, Bosnia and North Macedonia among them, which helps if the Croatia leg runs inland. 3 days of unlimited at $11.50, 5 GB a day at full speed.
Days, not gigabytes, in 33 countries. No daily cap stated for your own phone; sharing limited to 1 GB a day. $27.50 for a week.
Prices read on 25 October 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.

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 Italy and Croatia, and what your phone needs for it
Eight places from the Colosseum to the walls of Dubrovnik, with the one thing your data does for you at each. One Europe eSIM comes with you on the ferry.
One plan for both countries: Ringo Light
Italy and Croatia face each other across the Adriatic, and most people cover the water by ferry from Ancona or Bari, or by a cheap flight. There is no border post on the road to wait at, but there is still a change of country, and a single Europe eSIM means you install once, at home, and keep the same plan on the boat. Two country eSIMs mean two installs and a second plan to find on the day.
On 25 October 2026 Ringo Light's Europe plan is $22.99 for 2 weeks and $35.99 for 30 days. For regional unlimited the rivals ask more. About two weeks: Ubigi $35 (30 GB, then 2 Mbps), Airalo $49, Saily $49.99, Holafly $51.50. A month: Ubigi $62, Airalo $71, Saily $71.99, Holafly $76.50.
I also added up Ringo Light's country pages. Italy's 2 weeks is $14.99 and Croatia's $16.99 on their own pages, $31.98 together, against $22.99 for the Europe trip that covers both. For 30 days it is $26.99 and $26.99, $53.98 together, against $35.99.
For a stay of 3 days in Italy only, Ringo Light's Italy page sells 3 days at $8.99, under Airalo's Europe 3 days at $11.50. Croatia's page lists no 3-day plan. A rival also wins if you want a cap on cost over a quiet month: Ubigi's 10 GB is $15.
Which plans cover both countries
The lists are the ones I read on 25 October 2026. Ringo Light's Europe plan covers 33 countries, the EU countries plus the UK, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Gibraltar. Italy and Croatia are both EU members, so both are in.
Airalo Eurolink lists 41 countries, Holafly 33, Saily 35, Nomad 35 on its unlimited plans and Ubigi 38. I could not confirm on the day that each of those lists names Croatia as well as Italy, so I would read the list at checkout before paying. Airalo's extra countries include Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and North Macedonia, which Ringo Light does not cover.

If you want a data bucket: Ubigi or Nomad
- Ubigi, $15 for 10 GB. The cheapest 10 GB for 30 days. 25 GB is $29, and a 20 GB monthly plan at $19 renews until you cancel it.
- Nomad, $23 for 10 GB. And 20 GB for 30 days at $27, the cheapest one-off 20 GB in the Europe plans.
- Airalo, $31 for 10 GB. Eurolink 20 GB for 30 days is $48, with the longest country list.
- Saily, $35.99 for 10 GB. From saily.com, 25 October 2026.
- ✓Ringo Light, no buckets. Ringo Light sells 2 weeks of unlimited for $22.99 and 30 days for $35.99, and no fixed amount of data. Ubigi's 10 GB at $15 is $7.99 under its 2 weeks, and Nomad's 20 GB at $27 is $8.99 under its 30 days. If you will mostly use maps and messages, I would buy the 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. I write for Ringo, so weigh that. For this trip it sells the Europe plan across 33 countries, unlimited data at full speed: 2 weeks at $22.99 and 30 days at $35.99. Nothing renews. The eSIM arrives by email in seconds and installs in one scan, no app. It moves to a local network on its own when you land in the second country.
The card to buy it is further up this page, just after the side-by-side table.
Pick by trip
The Europe plan has no 7-day option. I would use Ringo Light's Italy page, 2 weeks at $14.99.
Ringo Light Europe, 2 weeks, $22.99. It costs less than any rival's week.
Ringo Light Europe, 30 days, $35.99. Ubigi at $62 for 60 GB if you want a fixed amount.
Ringo Light's Italy page, 3 days, $8.99, or Airalo Eurolink at $11.50 if you want the Europe list.
Ubigi 10 GB for 30 days at $15.
None of these travel plans does that. The full Ringo, which Ringo Light funds, ports the number you have.
