1 · The short answer: Ringo Light

The Holafly alternative I would buy is Ringo Light. In the USA, 2 weeks of unlimited data cost $17.99. Holafly's own page lists $50.50 for 15 days. In Italy it is $14.99 against $44.50, and in Germany $16.99 against $51.50. Ringo is cheaper in every country I checked, and the gap is largest on the longer trips.

The reason is simple. Ringo Light is a data-only travel eSIM that sits beside your own SIM, so your number keeps working for calls, texts and bank codes. It is one payment with no renewal, the eSIM arrives by email in seconds, and it installs with one scan, no app needed. The trips are sold as "Unlimited data at full speed", with one line about limits: "Fair use policy, see Terms".

I write for Ringo, so weigh that. I read Holafly's prices and hotspot rule on its own country pages on 11 November 2026, and the links are at the end. Ringo prices come from the live catalogue on 11 November 2026.

2 · Two weeks and 30 days, country by country

Ringo sells 2 weeks, Holafly sells 15 days, so Holafly gets one extra day in this table and is still far more expensive. All prices are in US dollars.

3 · Short trips: 3 and 7 days

Holafly's 3-day plan is $11.90 on all six pages. Ringo's 3-day plan is $8.99 in Germany, Italy and Turkey, and $9.99 in Japan. Ringo has no 3-day plan in the USA or Thailand, so I compare 7 days there: Ringo $7.99 in the USA and $6.99 in Thailand, against $27.50 on Holafly.

A week in Thailand at $6.99 against $27.50 is the biggest ratio I found, nearly four times the price.

4 · Hotspot and limits

Holafly allows hotspot, and its pages say so with a number: sharing comes with "1 GB of shareable data available per day", so a 7-day plan includes up to 7 GB to share. The Holafly pages for the USA, Germany and Turkey also describe a fair usage policy that can slow your speed for up to one day.

Ringo's trips carry one line on limits, "Fair use policy, see Terms". I will not claim more than that, so read the Terms before a trip where you plan to share your connection all day.

5 · Which one I would buy

  • A long weekend or 3 days. Ringo Light, $8.99 in Germany, Italy and Turkey against $11.90.
  • One week. Ringo Light, $7.99 in the USA and $6.99 in Thailand against $27.50.

  • Sharing the connection with a laptop. Holafly prints 1 GB of sharing per day. Ringo's line is "Fair use policy, see Terms", so check it against how you work.

I found no country among the six where Holafly was cheaper.

6 · Why Ringo

You pay once, and the eSIM lands in your inbox in seconds. You scan one code and there is no app to download. Your own SIM stays in the phone, so your number keeps taking calls, texts and bank codes. And on the six countries I priced, you spend a fraction of what Holafly lists for the same trip.

Open your destination, pick the length and buy. The price you see is the price you pay.
