Ubigi VS BetterRoaming

With Ubigi, you have more eSIM data plans with Ubigi: one-off top ups — ideal for travellers — and recurring subscriptions for regular users, while BetterRoaming’s plans are one-off only. Furthermore you can get data plans for eSIM compatible Windows 10 and Windows 11 laptops (and soon Windows 11) with a list of laptop models with Ubigi pre-installed. BetterRoaming eSIM does not work with Windows 10 (hence laptops), but it does on Apple Watch unlike Ubigi.

Finally, Ubigi has better customer reviews than BetterRoaming on the App stores and Trustpilot.

Ubigi VS Gigsky

Both Ubigi and Gigsky cover 200+ destinations (with new openings every month), but Ubigi has more country-dedicated plans (close to local rates) on top of regional plans. Ubigi offers both one-off eSIM data plans — ideal for travelers — and recurring subscriptions for regular users, while Gigsky’s plans are one-off only.

Finally, Ubigi has better customer reviews than Gigsky on Trustpilot.

Ubigi VS Airalo

Airalo is a reseller of different eSIM providers. So, the same eSIM profile cannot be reused in all the destinations unlike Ubigi (once Ubigi eSIM is installed, it works in 200+ destinations). Moreover, Ubigi offers data plans for eSIM compatible Windows 10 and Windows 11 laptops with a list of laptop models with Ubigi pre-installed. Airalo doesn’t provide eSIM data plans for laptops.

Finally, you can always access your account not only from the app but from our web portal too.

Very convenient
Got it for Japan and is very convenient. It automatically connects upon arrival, and the app will let you know how many data you have left.

Simple and easy to purchase the best option based on our trip. Then setup was nice and quick, with good reminders when I was in the area purchased for use. Would definitely use again and also recommend to others.

So Simple that a 60 Year Old Can Use It
At 60 years old, I had doubt and anxiety finding a way to stay connected to the internet on my cellphone while visiting Germany from the United States. My son told me about Ubigi. While at the airport, I signed up and downloaded the Ubigi App. The directions were simple and clear especially providing images of my cellphone setup features. Once I landed in Germany, the activation was automatic and seamless. When I have WiFi, I can use it and while I don't have WiFi, Ubigi automatically takes over. There are many packages and prices to select from. I love that there isn't anything I physically have to buy and install. So simple that a 60 year old can use it:)

Good esim provider
Ubigi worked really well on my trip to Japan. Activating the data plan upon arriving to the airport in Tokyo was completely automatic. No issues whatsoever over the entire 2 week period, recommending wholeheartedly for any travelers.
