The Saily alternative
focused on the Balkans & Europe
Saily is the travel eSIM from Nord Security, the company behind NordVPN — an app-first service with security extras built in. Horizon is a focused alternative for the Balkans and Europe — with a guide for every destination, Albanian and English support, and up-front prices that run around half the big global brands. Here's an honest, side-by-side comparison.
Horizon is our own eSIM store, so we have a stake here. We've kept this factual, linked our sources, and noted where Saily leads. Last reviewed July 2026.

Saily alternative FAQ
Is Horizon a good Saily alternative?
Yes — especially for travel across the Balkans and Europe, where you want destination guides, Albanian-language support and up-front prices that run around half the big global brands. Saily is a solid pick if you want its in-app security extras. The best choice depends on where you're going.
Is Horizon cheaper than Saily?
Prices vary by destination and data amount on both services, so compare your specific plan. Horizon shows the full price up front — typically around half the cost of the big global eSIM brands — from €4 for a week, with no roaming charges or auto-renewals.
Do I need an app to use Horizon?
No. You can buy, install and manage a Horizon eSIM entirely from the web — the QR code and setup guide arrive by email. There's also an Android app if you prefer one. Saily is designed around its mobile app.
Can I keep my phone number with a Horizon eSIM?
Yes. Your physical SIM stays in your phone for calls and texts on your usual number, while the eSIM carries your data. Most recent phones support using both at once.
