We compared official Spain plan pages from Airalo, Saily, Nomad, and Holafly, plus Airalo’s official unlimited fair-use policy, all checked November 10, 2026. We have not run speed tests and we do not invent scores. Official Holafly language says you can travel across the mainland and visit the Balearic and Canary Islands without switching eSIMs, and an official FAQ says the Canary Islands use the same Spanish carriers. Official Nomad language still says coverage may not include overseas territories; that Nomad clause is not the same as Holafly’s Canary Islands FAQ. Official Saily language says a Spain plan will only work in Spain, not Portugal. Confirm the live checkout price, the network list, and that your phone is unlocked and eSIM-compatible.

Nomad’s unlimited section did not include prices on the official page.

comparison

Airalo vs Holafly eSIM (2026)

For a 7-day Europe trip, official list prices were almost the same on November 10, 2026: Airalo $27, Holafly $27.50. The useful split is policy, not a dollar or two. Airalo’s written fair-use rule is 3 GB of high-speed data per 24 hours, then 1 Mbps, with no tethering cap in that policy. Holafly’s Europe plan lists 1 GB of hotspot data per day, a 6-month refund window, and operator fair-use slowdowns generally lasting no more than one day.

guide

What “Unlimited” eSIM Plans Actually Allow (2026)

“Unlimited” on a travel eSIM is usually a daily high-speed allowance, then a slower speed, not uncapped 5G. Official Airalo policy is 3 GB per 24 hours, then 1 Mbps, resetting from the time you activated the eSIM. Official Saily policy is 5 GB of high-speed data per 24 hours, then about 1 Mbps. Official Holafly language describes operator fair-use slowdowns, generally lasting no more than one day, without a daily gigabyte figure. Read the live plan details before you buy. This is not a speed test.
