Choose Gjirafa eSIM if...
You are travelling around the Balkans, especially Kosovo, Albania or North Macedonia, or visiting family there. One Balkans plan covers 12 countries including Kosovo, which several Europe-wide plans leave out, and when the data runs out a reduced-speed Life Saver Mode keeps WhatsApp and email working.
Choose Holafly if...
You refuse to count gigabytes. Streaming, video calls, and heavy maps use without watching a meter, and 24/7 WhatsApp support when something breaks.
The Sherpa take
There is no single winner: the right pick depends on your destination and how much data you burn. Run both through the calculator with your actual trip dates and the answer usually becomes obvious.
