What unlimited means at each
Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone in the Dominican Republic and limits hotspot sharing to 1 GB a day. It sells days, not gigabytes. Saily lists no Dominican Republic unlimited. Its Global plan gives 30 GB at full speed for 30 days at $59.99, then 1 Mbps, which is a Global plan and not unlimited days.

Networks and coverage in the Dominican Republic
The Dominican Republic has two big networks, Claro and Altice, and a smaller one, Viva. Claro and Altice both cover Santo Domingo, Santiago, Punta Cana, Bávaro and the north coast towns. Signal thins out away from the towns. Holafly's own page names the Cordillera Central, Los Haitises, the Samaná Peninsula and the Sierra de Bahoruco as places where coverage can be weaker. Download offline maps before you drive into the mountains or take a boat, whichever eSIM you buy.
Holafly rides Altice. Saily does not name its network on its listing. Ringo Light rides a local partner network.
Installation, app and support
Holafly needs no app; you install it from a QR code. Saily needs its app. Ringo Light needs no app; the eSIM arrives by email in seconds and installs in one scan. Install it at home on Wi-Fi before you fly and switch it on for data when you land in Punta Cana or Santo Domingo.
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 the Dominican Republic it sells two trips, both unlimited data at full speed: 2 weeks at $44.99 and 30 days at $56.99. 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, Saily at $37.99 is the better buy. If you want 3 or 7 days, Holafly is cheaper than anything we sell. For two weeks or a month of unlimited, Ringo Light is cheaper than Holafly, and Saily sells no Dominican Republic unlimited.
