Holafly vs. Jetpac (2026 review)

Unlimited-first pricing that overcharges light users.

Holafly’s plans start around $19 for five days of unlimited US data and run to $49.90 a month. If you stream and tether all day, that flat rate is fair. For a short trip on a little data, you pay for plenty you won’t touch.

Perks-first pricing: you’re paying for the lounges, not the gigabytes.

Jetpac prices data by the gigabyte and adds about $1.99 for voice, so on data alone it sits at a premium. The value rests entirely on whether you’ll use the bundled lounge access and fast-track, which for a frequent flyer can pay for the plan.

200+ destinations on an unlimited model, no carrier shown.

Holafly’s reach matches the field on paper, and unlimited data removes the where-did-my-gigabytes-go worry. What’s missing is granularity and disclosure: fewer true regional plans, no European sub-zones, and no carrier or speed shown before you pay for it.

Solid 200+ coverage, but no regional depth or carrier shown.

Jetpac reaches the destinations most travellers need and performs adequately, but as a younger product it lacks true regional plans and European sub-zones, and doesn’t disclose the carrier before purchase. Coverage is competent rather than a headline strength.

One of the largest verified review bases in the category.

Holafly holds 4.7 on Trustpilot across roughly 110,000 reviews, plus 4.71 on the App Store and 4.57 on Google Play from 81,646. Praise lands on simplicity and speed to connect; criticism on the unlimited throttle and refund friction. On sheer volume it’s a leader.

A strong Trustpilot score on a very small app-store base.

Jetpac holds 4.7 on Trustpilot, but from just 3,479 reviews, and its app-store presence is tiny: 3.75 on the App Store from only 88 ratings and 3.98 on Google Play. The signal is thin and mixed, so the ratings are harder to lean on than the headline suggests.

Unlimited data is the feature; almost everything else is missing.

There’s no phone number in the box beyond a paid EU regional add-on, no data calculator, and no security tools. What you get is genuinely unlimited data with a clean, one-tap experience, which for many single-country trips is exactly the point, and enough.

Airport perks no other eSIM offers, a genuine feature edge.

Access to 1,300+ lounges, Fast Track security and SmartDelay are real, distinctive inclusions, and for the right traveller they outweigh anything a data plan bundles. Outside the perks the product is standard, but the perks themselves are unmatched in this set.

Allowed, but quietly capped at roughly 500MB a day.

Holafly limits hotspot use to about 500MB a day on unlimited plans, and that ceiling isn’t disclosed before you buy. For anyone tethering a laptop, that’s the first wall they hit, an important caveat given the plans are sold on the promise of unlimited data.

Unrestricted tethering, matching the most open policies here.

Jetpac places no restriction on hotspot use, which is the right call and as open as it gets. For anyone sharing data with a laptop or a companion’s phone, it works without a cap or an add-on, a straightforward strength for a young product.

HolaCoins and generous referrals, nothing automatic on spend.

Holafly runs a HolaCoins loyalty scheme and referrals that can reach €100, which rewards frequent sharers well. What it doesn’t do is return a flat percentage on every purchase automatically, so casual buyers see less back than the referral headline suggests.

Referral rewards, plus the perks as ongoing value.

Jetpac offers referral rewards, and the lounge and fast-track perks are themselves a kind of recurring benefit, but there’s no cashback that lands on every purchase. For a frequent flyer the perks carry the value; for everyone else the standing rewards are light.

24/7 support over both live chat and WhatsApp, a real strength.

Holafly staffs chat and WhatsApp around the clock, and reviewers consistently reach a human quickly. For a provider selling to first-time eSIM buyers, that reassurance matters, and it’s one of the strongest support operations in this comparison.

A 24/7 help centre, reasonable for a young product.

Jetpac offers round-the-clock help through its centre, which is fair for a newer brand. What it lacks is a web-reachable live channel and a stated money-back guarantee, so the safety net is adequate rather than a selling point, and largely untested at scale.

Clean, fast, and built for people who’ve never used an eSIM.

Holafly’s app and checkout are deliberately simple: pick a country, buy unlimited, connect. There’s little to configure because there’s little to manage. For a nervous first-timer that simplicity is a genuine feature, even if power users will want more control.

A capable young app, still finding its feet.

Jetpac’s app handles the essentials, but as a newer product it lacks the polish and depth of the category’s best, and its small review base makes the experience harder to judge. It works, but it hasn’t yet earned the trust that a longer track record brings.
