The short answer
I priced a trip on 25 October 2026 that starts in Barcelona and ends in Paris, by the high-speed train or a short flight over the Pyrenees. One Europe eSIM from Ringo Light covers Spain and France for $22.99 for 2 weeks or $35.99 for 30 days, unlimited data at full speed, against $49 for 15 days and $71 for 30 days on Airalo Eurolink. I would buy the Ringo Light 2 weeks for it.
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 and sells 3 days of unlimited at $11.50, 5 GB a day at full speed.
Days, not gigabytes, in 33 countries including the UK and Ireland. 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.

The prices, charted
Europe plans that cover both countries, US dollars, 25 October 2026. The rivals sell 15 days, Ringo Light 2 weeks. Ubigi's 15 days is 30 GB at full speed, then 2 Mbps. Nomad sells no unlimited past 10 days in Europe.
The 30-day Europe plan at each brand, for one trip through both countries. 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 for Europe.
Holafly sells no buckets. Ringo Light sells no bucket either: its 2 weeks is unlimited and lasts 2 weeks, not 30 days.

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 Spain and France, and what your phone needs for it
Eight places from the Sagrada Familia to the Côte d'Azur, with the one thing your data does for you at each. One Europe eSIM stays on across the Pyrenees.
One plan for both countries: Ringo Light
Spain and France share the Pyrenees and a long rail line, so a trip from Barcelona to Paris, or down from Nice to Valencia, is common. One Europe eSIM means a single install before you leave and no switch at the border. Two country eSIMs mean two installs, and a decision about which to turn on in every station.
Ringo Light's Europe plan is $22.99 for 2 weeks and $35.99 for 30 days on 25 October 2026. The rivals ask more for regional unlimited. About two weeks: Ubigi $35 for 30 GB at full speed, then 2 Mbps, Airalo $49, Saily $49.99, Holafly $51.50. A month: Ubigi $62, Airalo $71, Saily $71.99, Holafly $76.50.
The honest sum of Ringo Light's country plans: Spain's 2 weeks is $16.99 and France's $14.99 on their own pages, $31.98 together, against $22.99 for the Europe trip that covers both. For 30 days the pages ask $26.99 and $26.99, $53.98 together, against $35.99.
A country page wins in one case. For 3 days in one country only, Ringo Light sells Spain at $8.99 and France at $9.99, both under Airalo's Europe 3 days at $11.50. And Ubigi's 10 GB at $15 is cheaper than any unlimited plan here if you hardly use data, and I would buy it then.
Which plans cover both countries
These are the lists 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, and Spain and France are both EU members, so both are in.
Airalo Eurolink lists 41 countries, Holafly 33 including the UK and Ireland, Saily 35, Nomad 35 on its unlimited plans and Ubigi 38. I did not read each list country by country on the day, so for those five I cannot say that Spain and France are both named. I would read the list at checkout.

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 of the Europe plans.
- Airalo, $31 for 10 GB. Eurolink 20 GB for 30 days is $48, and Eurolink lists the most countries.
- Saily, $35.99 for 10 GB. From saily.com, 25 October 2026.
- ✓Ringo Light, no buckets. Ringo Light sells unlimited for 2 weeks at $22.99 and 30 days at $35.99, no buckets. If you want a 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. I would take a bucket for a trip of messages and maps.
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 once you cross.
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 Spain page, 2 weeks at $16.99.
Ringo Light's France page, 3 days, $9.99, or Airalo Eurolink at $11.50 if you want the Europe list.
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.
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.
Frequently asked questions
How we compared, and our sources

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.
