Holafly takes a different approach. Its prepaid travel eSIM offering focuses heavily on unlimited data, allowing travelers to choose connectivity based on the number of days they need.
Both providers offer international connectivity, but their differences become clearer when comparing data allowances, hotspot restrictions, top-ups, reinstallation, and refund policies.
Figabytes provides prepaid travel eSIM connectivity across more than 200 destinations.

Getting connected with Figabytes starts with choosing your destination.
Select a country, regional, or global plan based on your itinerary, preferred data allowance, and trip duration.
After purchasing, install your eSIM using a QR code, direct installation, or manual setup, depending on your device and selected plan.
Manage your connectivity through your Figabytes account under My eSIMs or through supported mobile apps.
Eligible profiles support reinstallation, while selected plans allow additional data purchases.
For installation guidance, visit the Figabytes Help Center.
Not every traveler needs unlimited data.
Figabytes offers fixed-data packages alongside unlimited options in selected destinations.
For example, a traveler who mainly uses WhatsApp, Google Maps, email, and occasional browsing may find a 5 GB or 10 GB package sufficient.
Someone who streams frequently or uploads large amounts of content may prefer an unlimited option.
This flexibility allows travelers to choose connectivity around their actual usage rather than automatically purchasing unlimited data.
Figabytes offers reusable installation functionality for eligible eSIMs.
An eligible profile can be reinstalled on another compatible device, including a family member's phone.
The original purchaser retains account ownership and can monitor usage.
For example, you can purchase an eligible eSIM for a family member and help manage their connectivity without transferring ownership of your Figabytes account.
Only one device can use the same eSIM at a time.
Reinstallation does not restore consumed data, restart validity, or create another allowance.

Figabytes offers country, regional, and global packages for different travel requirements.
Supported plans also allow additional data purchases when needed.
This can be useful when your trip changes or you consume more data than expected.

Figabytes provides 24/7 customer support in:
Travelers can also access installation, compatibility, and troubleshooting guidance through the Help Center.
This is particularly useful when helping family members or resolving connectivity issues abroad.
Figabytes includes the Figs loyalty rewards program.
Participating customers can benefit from available rewards according to the program's terms.
For travelers who regularly purchase destination-based connectivity, this adds another benefit to using Figabytes.

Popular destinations include:
For travelers visiting several destinations, a regional or global package may simplify connectivity planning.
Always confirm that your selected plan covers every country on your itinerary.

The biggest difference between Figabytes and Holafly is how their prepaid packages are structured.
Figabytes offers fixed-data packages and unlimited plans in selected destinations.
Holafly's prepaid offering focuses primarily on unlimited data priced according to the number of travel days.
For example, someone visiting Turkey for one week could compare a Figabytes 10 GB package against a Holafly seven-day unlimited plan.
However, these products are not directly equivalent.
The Figabytes package provides a defined allowance, while the Holafly product provides unlimited usage subject to its applicable conditions.
The better choice depends on how much data you expect to consume.
Both providers offer unlimited options.
However, unlimited data does not necessarily mean unrestricted high-speed connectivity.
Network management, fair-use conditions, and hotspot limits may apply.
Holafly's unlimited plans are designed around a selected number of travel days.
Figabytes unlimited options are available in selected destinations and durations.
Before purchasing, compare:
Travelers should review the specific package rather than relying only on the word "unlimited."
Both Figabytes and Holafly advertise coverage across more than 200 destinations.
However, regional and global products can include different countries.
For example, a Europe package from one provider may not cover exactly the same destinations as a Europe package from another.
The most important consideration is whether your selected plan covers your actual itinerary.
Check the available networks, data conditions, and validity before purchasing.
Figabytes supports QR code, direct, and manual installation, depending on the device and plan.
Holafly also supports QR, automatic, and manual installation methods on compatible devices.
Both providers generally recommend preparing the eSIM before departure.
Activation conditions depend on the selected product.
Installing an eSIM does not always mean that its validity begins immediately.
Always review the activation instructions before traveling.
Figabytes supports web account management through My eSIMs, alongside mobile app access where available.
Holafly also provides website purchasing and a dedicated mobile app.
Neither provider requires a mobile app for every purchase or installation method.
Figabytes' Android app was scheduled for early October 2026. Confirm its current availability before publication.
Figabytes supports reinstallation on eligible profiles.
When an eligible eSIM displays Reinstall status, it can be installed again on another compatible device.
The original purchaser retains account ownership and usage visibility.
Holafly's prepaid eSIM by Days documentation previously described a different approach.
It advised travelers not to delete installed profiles because reinstallation may not be supported.
The same documentation indicated that a new prepaid eSIM is generally required for another trip.
These rules may differ for other Holafly products.
Travelers should review the current policy before deleting or transferring an installed eSIM.
Figabytes supports top-ups on eligible plans.
Holafly's previously reviewed prepaid eSIM by Days policy stated that traditional top-ups or data reloads were no longer available.
Instead, travelers needing additional days would generally purchase another prepaid eSIM.
This difference matters when your travel plans change unexpectedly.
With Figabytes, eligible top-ups may allow you to purchase additional data without installing a completely new profile.
Top-ups do not necessarily extend the original validity period.
Both providers can support hotspot usage, depending on the selected product.
Holafly allows data sharing on many plans, but hotspot allowances may be limited even when the phone itself has unlimited data.
Figabytes hotspot availability also depends on the plan and network.
This is particularly important for remote workers, families, and travelers connecting laptops or tablets.
Both providers primarily offer travel connectivity through mobile data.
Holafly's prepaid eSIM by Days products are generally data-only.
Figabytes customers should check their selected package if traditional calls or SMS are required.
Both services can provide internet access for communication applications such as WhatsApp, FaceTime, Telegram, and Messenger, subject to local restrictions.
Using a travel eSIM for data does not normally change the phone number registered with WhatsApp.
Holafly's unlimited-data approach is particularly relevant for travelers who prefer not to monitor a fixed data allowance.
Its previously reviewed prepaid products allowed travelers to select durations ranging from one to 90 days in supported destinations.
This can simplify purchasing for someone who knows their travel dates but does not know how much data they will consume.
However, travelers should distinguish between unlimited mobile data and unrestricted use of every feature.
Hotspot limits, fair-use conditions, network management, and other restrictions may apply.
For example, someone who needs mobile data primarily for their phone may have different requirements from someone who plans to connect a laptop throughout the day.
Figabytes offers unlimited options in selected destinations, so travelers should compare equivalent durations where possible.
For lighter usage, a fixed-data package may provide better value.
Figabytes offers fixed-data packages alongside unlimited options in selected destinations.
Travelers can choose an allowance that matches their needs rather than automatically purchasing unlimited connectivity.
This is particularly useful for light and moderate data users.
Figabytes explicitly supports installing eligible reusable eSIMs on another person's compatible device.
The purchaser retains account ownership and can monitor usage.
This creates a practical workflow for managing connectivity for family members or travel companions.
Figabytes supports additional data purchases on eligible plans.
This provides flexibility when travelers consume more data than expected.
Holafly's previously reviewed prepaid eSIM by Days policy did not support traditional top-ups.
Figabytes provides 24/7 customer support in Arabic, English, and Urdu.
Travelers who prefer assistance in these languages have a documented support option.
Holafly's current language availability should be checked before making a direct comparison.
Figabytes offers the Figs rewards program for participating customers.
Available benefits depend on the program's terms.
This adds value for travelers who return to Figabytes for future trips.
Neither provider is automatically cheaper for every traveler.
A fair comparison must account for the difference between fixed-data and unlimited packages.
The following Figabytes Turkey prices were recorded in August 2026.
| Figabytes Turkey Plan | Validity | Historical Price |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GB | 7 days | $2.64 |
| 5 GB | 30 days | $7.52 |
| 10 GB | 30 days | $11.04 |

| Unlimited | 1 day | $6.12 |
| Unlimited | 3 days | $14.43 |
| Unlimited | 5 days | $22.75 |
| Unlimited | 7 days | $31.07 |
Historical prices checked August 2026. USD. These are not verified October 2026 prices.
Holafly's Turkey offering uses a different structure, with unlimited data priced according to the selected number of days.
A traveler who needs only 5 GB may find a fixed-data package more economical.
A traveler expecting substantial daily usage may prefer comparing unlimited plans from both providers.
The correct comparison depends on actual usage, trip duration, and the current price.
For a short holiday with predictable usage, compare fixed-data packages first.
For heavy data usage, compare equivalent unlimited durations and review hotspot and fair-use conditions.
For family travel, Figabytes' eligible reusable eSIM workflow and account management may provide additional practical value.
For travelers who prioritize a published refund window, Holafly's previously documented policy may also influence the decision.
Live price verification: Equivalent current prices for both providers have not been independently confirmed for this revision, so no direct numerical winner is presented.
Holafly previously published a refund policy allowing eligible requests within six months of purchase.
The policy covered circumstances such as changes in travel plans, incompatible devices, and certain connectivity problems.
However, the six-month period did not mean every purchase automatically qualified for a full refund.
Eligibility depended on factors including activation status, usage, the reason for the request, and supporting conditions.
Travelers should review Holafly's current policy before purchasing.
Figabytes customers should also review the applicable Figabytes refund terms.
Refund flexibility is worth considering, particularly when travel dates are uncertain.
Before purchasing, confirm that your device supports eSIM and is carrier-unlocked.
Then check:
