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.

Fast and reliable
Fast, reliable and pretty easy to use. I’ve never used an eSIM before and bought a Ubigi sim for my trip to Japan after doing some research online. I didn’t quite understand out to activate it but managed to work it out quickly enough. It always had service, especially in the quieter villages we went to and despite using it for Google Maps for 1300km of road driving, I barely cracked half of my allotment. Would use it again for sure!

Super convenient an reliable!
I used Ubigi eSIM during my trip and absolutely loved it! It was very quick to set up and super easy to use — I had instant connection right after activation. The internet speed was great, and I never had any issues throughout my travel. Highly recommend it for anyone who wants a hassle-free data experience!

Accessible WiFi
Ubigi has provided me with accessible internet access whilst in Japan which compares very favourably to my previous experience of renting routers and accessing free WiFi in cafes and such like.

Worked well but took a little sorting out in settings
It wasn’t quite as simple as download and it will work when you get there. I had to go into settings to select the “travel” sim for mobile data. The sim itself worked perfectly all over Japan.

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 and use
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.
