The short answer
Verizon TravelPass makes your own plan work in Singapore for $12 a day, charged only on days you use the phone there. For a stay I would buy Ringo Light, which costs far less: $8.99 for 3 days, $17.99 for 2 weeks, $29.99 for 30 days, unlimited data at full speed. Verizon wins where many people care most: your own number, calls and texts included, nothing to install, and no need for an eSIM slot.
Unlimited data at full speed for 3 days at $8.99, 2 weeks at $17.99 or 30 days at $29.99, one payment, nothing renews. Verizon is $12 for every day you use the phone in Singapore, and I would not pay that for more than a day.
The pass runs on your own plan, so calls and texts keep working on your own number, nothing is installed, and the cost goes on the bill you already pay. A phone with no eSIM slot works too. Ringo Light is data only, which I count as its one big gap.

The prices, charted
US dollars, 31 October 2026. Verizon TravelPass is charged only on days the phone is used, so 14 days is the most it can cost for the fortnight. Ringo Light is unlimited data at full speed for the whole 2 weeks.
Verizon's page shows no monthly international plan for Singapore, so 30 days is 30 times the daily price. Ringo Light is one payment for 30 days.
Three days of use at each. Verizon is the only one of the two that also carries your calls and texts.

Verizon TravelPass vs Ringo Light in one paragraph
On the two price pages I read for Singapore, Ringo Light costs a small fraction of TravelPass. Two weeks is $17.99 against $168, a month is $29.99 against $360, and a long weekend is $8.99 against $36. TravelPass wins on convenience, and that is a genuine win: calls and texts work on your own number, nothing needs installing, it sits on the account you already pay, and it works on a phone without an eSIM slot. For a day or a layover with zero setup, I would use TravelPass. For a longer stay, or if you will tether a laptop, I would buy Ringo Light.
Price: the same stay at each
I found Singapore at $12 per day on Verizon's countries list, and its TravelPass FAQ says you are charged only on days you use your device in a TravelPass country, read 31 October 2026. Three days of use is $36, two weeks is $168 and 30 days is $360. No monthly international plan appears for Singapore, so the month is 30 times the daily price.
Ringo Light is one payment per trip, in US dollars: $8.99 for 3 days, $17.99 for 2 weeks, $29.99 for 30 days. The gap is $150.01 on two weeks and $330.01 on a month. TravelPass comes out cheaper only on a stay where the phone is used on a day or two; a single day of the pass already costs more than the 3-day eSIM, so I give the pass the win on ease and not on price.
Data and speed at each
Verizon's FAQ says TravelPass gives high-speed data for the first 5 GB each day, then unlimited data at 3G speeds for the rest of that TravelPass session. I call that generous for navigation, messaging and photos, and a day of video calls or a laptop on a hotspot can use it up. Ringo Light is unlimited data at full speed for the whole trip, with no daily figure. Fair use policy, see Terms.
Calls, texts and your own number
Here I say Verizon wins without argument. With TravelPass the phone behaves as it does at home: the same number rings, texts arrive as usual, and codes sent to that number still reach you. Ringo Light is data only. Calls go over apps that use data, and your own SIM stays in the phone for calls, with your number staying on your own SIM next to it. If your bank texts a code to your US number while you travel, I would keep your own SIM active whichever one you choose.
Setup and billing
TravelPass asks nothing of you: the pass starts when the phone uses data abroad and each day of use shows on your Verizon bill. Ringo Light arrives by email after you pay and installs in one scan of the QR code, which I would do at home on Wi-Fi before the flight, then switch on for data when you land at Changi. The phone must support eSIM; TravelPass has no such requirement.
What Ringo Light is, and what it is not
Ringo Light is the data eSIM I write for here, sold to fund the full Ringo, one plan that works everywhere. For Singapore it sells three trips, all unlimited data at full speed: 3 days at $8.99, 2 weeks at $17.99 and 30 days at $29.99. One payment, nothing renews.
What it is not: it has no phone number, so it does not replace your Verizon line for calls and texts, and it needs a phone with an eSIM slot. Verizon keeps everything on one bill; Ringo Light is the lower price for the same time in Singapore, and that is how I weigh the two.
I compared the other travel eSIM brands for Singapore at /blog/best-esim-for-singapore. The card to buy Ringo Light is further up this page, just after the side-by-side table.
