Holafly vs Nomad in one paragraph
These two do not overlap much in Brazil. Holafly sells unlimited days only, from 3 days at $13.50 to 30 days at $100.50, with no stated daily cap for your own phone, on Claro, TIM and Vivo. Nomad sells buckets, 10 GB for 30 days at $19 and 20 GB at $31, and a short unlimited, 5 days at $17 and 10 days at $31, with 2 GB a day at full speed, then slower, on TIM. Holafly sells no buckets; Nomad sells no unlimited past 10 days. Because the lengths differ, we do not call either one cheaper. Pick Nomad for a bucket. Pick Holafly for unlimited from a long weekend to a month. For two weeks or a month of unlimited, Ringo Light sells 2 weeks at $37.99 and 30 days at $64.99, unlimited data at full speed.
Price: the same trip at each
Priced on 25 October 2026, in US dollars. Holafly: $13.50 for 3 days, $28.50 for 7, $51.50 for 15, $100.50 for 30, all unlimited. Nomad: unlimited $17 for 5 days and $31 for 10 days; buckets $19 for 10 GB and $31 for 20 GB, both for 30 days. Holafly has no 5-day or 10-day plan and Nomad has no 3, 7, 15 or 30-day unlimited, so there is no like-for-like row and no cheaper brand to name.
Ringo Light sells two trips for Brazil: 2 weeks at $37.99 and 30 days at $64.99. The 2 weeks is $13.51 less than Holafly's 15 days; Nomad has no 15-day plan to compare. The 30 days is $35.51 less than Holafly's $100.50; Nomad sells no 30-day unlimited. Ringo Light sells no buckets, and its 2 weeks at $37.99 is $18.99 more than Nomad's 10 GB. For a fixed amount of data, buy Nomad, not us.
What unlimited means at each
Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone and limits hotspot sharing to 1 GB a day. Nomad gives 2 GB a day at full speed, then slower, and its unlimited stops at 10 days. Ringo Light is unlimited data at full speed for the whole 2 weeks or 30 days. Fair use policy, see Terms.
Networks and coverage in Brazil
Brazil has three national networks: Vivo, Claro and TIM. All three cover Rio, Sao Paulo, Salvador, Foz do Iguacu and most of the coast. Coverage thins out in the Amazon, on the dunes of Maranhao and on long roads through the interior, whichever network you are on. Holafly lists Claro, TIM and Vivo; Nomad rides TIM. Ringo Light rides a local partner network. For the cities and the beaches, any of them works; for remote places, download offline maps before you go.
Installation, app and support
Nomad needs its app: you buy, install and top up inside it. Holafly uses the app for the data balance. Ringo Light needs no app; the eSIM arrives by email in seconds and installs in one scan, and support is by email. Whichever you pick, install it at home before you fly and switch it on for data when you land.
The cheaper third option: Ringo Light
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 Brazil it sells two trips, both unlimited data at full speed: 2 weeks at $37.99 and 30 days at $64.99. One payment, nothing renews, no app.
What it does not do: no buckets, no 3-day or 7-day plan, no phone number, data only. Calls go over apps that use data. If you want 10 GB for a month, Nomad at $19 is the better buy. For two weeks or a month of unlimited, Ringo Light is cheaper than Holafly, the one of the two that sells those lengths.
