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.
F
Choose Firsty if...
You want a free safety net. The ad-supported tier gives slow data worldwide at no cost, and you only pay (from about 1 EUR/day) when you need real speed.
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.
