Saily: the 5 GB / 30-day plan of the country. Saily’s own pages refused our request that day; prices are from its listing on esimdb.com, which matched Saily’s search snippets. BeeSim: the cheapest plan with at least 5 GB and 30 days in our catalog right now. Checked 30 September 2026; the brand's prices were noted in US dollars and are shown converted at today's rate. Brand prices can change with promotions; report a difference and we will recheck.
The terms
| Saily | BeeSim | |
|---|---|---|
| Unlimited and daily plans | Unlimited plans: 5 GB a day at full speed (3 GB in the UAE), then 1 Mbps. | Daily plans where a destination has them: the plan card states the full-speed amount per day and the speed after it. |
| Top-up | Yes, in the app. | On the plans whose own page says so; the others are bought again rather than topped up. |
| Hotspot | Yes, no limit. | Yes, the full allowance. |
| Account | The app and an account are needed to install. | None needed; the eSIM opens from the order link. |
| Refunds | Within 30 days if not installed or activated. | Any eSIM that has not been installed; an installed one only if it never worked. |
| Payment | Cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay. | Cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay through the payment partner. |
What is the same
Both sell fixed-data plans from 1 GB, both allow hotspot without a cap, both keep your number on your own SIM, and both start the days on first connection.
Where BeeSim and Saily differ
- Saily is app-first: the eSIM is installed from the Saily app, with an account. BeeSim works from a web page — pay, scan the QR code or tap “install”, done — and the app is optional.
- Saily includes VPN-style features in the app; BeeSim does not, and does not route your traffic through anything but the operator’s network.
- Saily’s Europe regional plan cost about double its single-country plans on the day we checked; BeeSim’s regional bundles are priced closer to the countries they cover.
Which one to pick
Choose Saily if you already use NordVPN or want the ad-blocking and web-protection features in the same app.
Choose BeeSim for a purchase without an app or account, and for the regional prices.
