Most trips to the Netherlands start in Amsterdam and spread out by train to Utrecht, Rotterdam and the windmills. For 15 days, Airalo asks $48, Saily $48.99 and Holafly $50.50. For a month, $69, $71.99 and $73.90. Ubigi is cheaper at $29 and $44 for 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.
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 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 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, still under Ubigi's $29 for 15 days; a heavy month costs $34.98, under every rival for the month.
For a short trip, Ringo Light sells no 3-day or 7-day plan. Nomad sells 3 days of unlimited at $11, and Ubigi a week with 20 GB at full speed for $19. Our 2 weeks at $12.99 still costs less than any rival's week.
The Netherlands has three networks: KPN, Vodafone and Odido, the old T-Mobile. The country is small and flat, and all three cover it with 4G and 5G, trains included. KPN is the one most travel eSIMs ride here; Holafly and Nomad add Vodafone. Coverage thins only on parts of the Wadden islands and in the Frisian countryside, which Holafly itself flags.
If your phone plan is from another EU country, you roam here at home prices within a fair use limit, and you may not need a travel eSIM at all. Travellers from the US, the UK, Canada or Australia usually pay a daily roaming fee, and that is where a travel eSIM saves money.
Ubigi, $11 for 10 GB. The cheapest 10 GB and the cheapest 20 GB class: 25 GB for 30 days at $19, on KPN, no app needed.
Nomad, $16 for 10 GB. 20 GB for $20 on KPN and Vodafone with 5G.
Saily, $17.99 for 10 GB. 20 GB at $26.99. Its listing is from June; saily.com would not load for us.
Airalo, $18 for 10 GB. Its Hé Hé plan on KPN, 20 GB for $27, buckets from $4 for 1 GB.
Ringo Light, no buckets. Our 2 weeks starts with 10 GB for $12.99 and our 30 days with 20 GB for $21.99. For 10 GB that lasts a month, Ubigi at $11 is the better buy, and Ubigi's 25 GB at $19 and Nomad's 20 GB at $20 both cost less than our month. We would rather you read that here than at checkout.
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 the Netherlands it sells two trips, both unlimited data at full speed with no speed cap: 2 weeks at $12.99, starting with 10 GB, and 30 days at $21.99, starting with 20 GB. Each adds 10 GB once at 80%, charged at $12.99. One payment, nothing renews. The eSIM arrives by email in seconds and installs in one scan, no app.
The card to buy it is just below this article.
A long weekend in Amsterdam. Nomad unlimited, 3 days, $11. Ringo Light sells no 3 days; its 2 weeks is $12.99 if the trip might run longer.
A week or two by train, Amsterdam to Rotterdam. Ringo Light unlimited, 2 weeks, $12.99, less than any rival charges for one week.
Two weeks, light use, budget first. Ubigi 10 GB for 30 days at $11.

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.
What to do in the Netherlands, and what your phone needs for it. Eight places most first trips include, from the Amsterdam canals to Giethoorn, with the one thing your data does for you at each. Most are an hour or less by train from Amsterdam, and all have good 4G and 5G.
The canal ring, Amsterdam. Four half-moon canals from the 17th century, lined with narrow merchant houses and on the UNESCO list. Walk the Herengracht and the Jordaan early, before the tour boats start. Bikes have right of way on the red lanes. Set your maps to walking and look both ways for bikes, not just cars.
The Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. The national museum, home of Rembrandt's Night Watch and the Vermeers, on the Museumplein next to the Van Gogh Museum. Give it half a day. Tickets are sold for a time slot. Book on your phone and show the QR code at the door.
Keukenhof, Lisse. Millions of tulips, daffodils and hyacinths in a park between Amsterdam and Leiden. It opens only in spring, roughly from late March to mid May. Tickets and the bus from Schiphol or Leiden are sold online. Buy both before you go.
The windmills of Kinderdijk, near Rotterdam. Nineteen 18th-century windmills along the polder canals, still draining the land, and a UNESCO site. Best early or late in the day. The waterbus from Rotterdam is the nicest way in. Check the live timetable, it runs less often out of season.
Zaanse Schans, Zaandam. Working windmills, green wooden houses and a clog workshop on the Zaan river, a short train ride north of Amsterdam. Free to walk around. Tap in and out at the station gates with your contactless card or phone wallet; no paper ticket needed.
The Oudegracht and the Dom Tower, Utrecht. A canal with wharf cellars at water level, now cafés, under the tallest church tower in the country. Climb the Dom with a guide for the view. Many cafés here take cards only. A phone wallet does the job everywhere.
The Erasmus Bridge and the skyline, Rotterdam. The white Swan bridge over the Maas, the modern skyline, the Markthal and the yellow cube houses, all rebuilt after the city centre was bombed in 1940. The NS app gives live platforms and delays for the train back to Amsterdam, about 40 minutes by the fast line.
Giethoorn, Overijssel. A village of thatched farmhouses and footbridges where the old centre has canals instead of roads. Rent a quiet electric boat and steer yourself. It is a train and a bus from Amsterdam via Steenwijk. Save the route offline in case the signal dips on the water.
We priced Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi and Ringo Light for Netherlands 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.

Airalo and Ubigi ride KPN, Holafly and Nomad KPN and Vodafone. Saily does not name its network on its listing. All of them cover Amsterdam, Utrecht, Rotterdam and the train lines between them.
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 the Netherlands 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.
