Where Holafly is genuinely good

- 24/7 chat support
- Simple day-based pricing

- One eSIM per trip/destination; nothing to reuse next time
Who should choose which
Choose Holafly if unlimited data — no counting gb is the thing you care about most and you are happy to manage everything through their website.
Choose eSIM BFF if you travel more than once a year and want one eSIM you never reinstall, the ability to top up when you are already at zero, and no app. For families, ordering several eSIMs in one checkout and seeing them in one dashboard is the difference that gets mentioned most.

eSIM BFF vs Holafly questions
Is eSIM BFF cheaper than Holafly?
Premium. Great if you truly need unlimited data; expensive for normal maps-and-messaging use. Our 5 GB Europe plan is AZN 10.03 and 5 GB in most of Asia is AZN 13.43, tax included. Check Holafly’s current price for the same destination — prices change often and we would rather you compare live numbers.
Can I switch from Holafly to eSIM BFF mid-trip?
Yes. Install eSIM BFF on Wi-Fi (two minutes), buy a package for the country you are in, and switch your mobile-data line to it. Your Holafly eSIM can stay on the phone or be deleted once its plan expires.
Does eSIM BFF have an app like Holafly?
No app is required. Installation is a one-tap link or QR code, and the dashboard is a website that works at 0 GB. If you prefer an app, Holafly has one; we prefer not making you download anything at the gate.
Do I reinstall an eSIM when I leave Holafly behind?
No. eSIM BFF is one profile. Buy a package for the next country in the dashboard and it attaches to the eSIM you already have.
