eSIM comparison
Start with the reason you are considering a switch: a different data allowance, another route or easier plan management. Compare Horizon, Airalo, Holafly, Saily and KudoSIM against your exact Nomad package before buying a second eSIM.
Horizon is our own store. This is a comparison of published provider information, not an independent network test. We link the sources and explain when another option may fit.
The shortlist
Choose by your route, total data, validity and hotspot needs. The order below is a shortlist, not a network-quality ranking.

| Provider | Best for | Check before choosing |
|---|---|---|
| Horizon eSIM | Balkans, Albanian-diaspora and Europe trips | Match every stop, data allowance and validity to the selected package. |
| Airalo | Global trips and a large plan catalogue | Check the package's activation rule, data allowance and included calls. |
| Holafly | Unlimited-labelled data plans | Distinguish prepaid from subscription terms; check hotspot and fair use. |
| Saily | An app with built-in security features | Compare the data plan, app requirements and any separate extras. |
| KudoSIM | Albanian-language Balkans and Europe plans | Check the exact regional coverage and current hotspot terms. |
