Holafly eSIM Europe: Pros, Cons and a Better Alternative

Holafly offers unlimited plans, but usage is subject to a fair use policy that isn’t clearly defined, which can affect speeds during heavy use. Some Reddit users have taken a guess about what their usage is but it varies too much for me to say. ZenSim is more upfront about limits, clearly stating daily speed caps, so you know exactly what to expect with no surprises.

Holafly allows hotspotting, but it’s capped at 500MB per day, which can be restrictive if you’re working remotely or sharing data across devices. ZenSim includes unlimited hotspotting, making it a better option for laptops, tablets, or travel partners.

Holafly is a popular brand with good reviews, but it’s generally one of the more expensive eSIM options. ZenSim offers cheaper plans for similar or better performance, which means more money left over for actual travel instead of mobile data.

Holafly eSIMs are usually locked to the country or region you purchase. Both offer regional plans like Europe or Latin America though ZenSim also allows you to top up and add multiple countries to the same eSIM, which is far more convenient for multi-continent trips or stopovers.

Holafly mainly focuses on unlimited data plans, with pricing based on the number of days you need rather than how much data you use. ZenSim offers more choice, with flexible plans ranging from smaller data packs through to unlimited options, making it easier to pick a cheaper plan if you don’t need unlimited data.

This is just for Europe but ZenSim offer the ability to top up your Europe eSIM with various other countries to save you installing a new one!
