Holafly vs. Maya Mobile: Which eSIM provider is the best in 2026?

Holafly offers a simple plan: you choose the number of days (from 1 to 90), and data is unlimited for the entire period. For frequent travelers, Holafly Plans offers monthly plans starting at $39.90/month (10 GB) up to $64.90/month (unlimited with extended hotspot sharing).

Maya Mobile covers over 200 destinations with regional multi-country plans (Asia+, Europe+, LATAM+) and a Global eSIM that covers 119 countries with a single profile—a clear advantage for travelers visiting multiple destinations who don’t want to juggle multiple eSIMs. Network quality depends on local partner carriers and may vary by destination.

Maya Mobile offers a few so-called "unlimited" plans for certain destinations, but there’s a major catch: high-speed data is capped at 4 GB per day. Once this daily limit is reached, the connection switches to reduced speed until the next day. For typical use (browsing, GPS, social media), this limit is rarely reached. For heavy professional use (continuous video calls, large file transfers), it may become noticeable by the end of the day.

Holafly's standard unlimited plans include a data-sharing limit of around 500 MB per day. Once that limit is reached, the hotspot stops working until the next day. For phone use only, this limit isn't a problem. But for someone who connects their laptop to work, 500 MB runs out in just 30 minutes of video conferencing.

Holafly does not impose any restrictions of its own, but certain restrictions may be imposed by local partner operators. Some plans in Asia block local payment apps (WeChat Pay, PayPay), while others restrict European banking apps. Holafly does not explicitly state that it does not restrict apps.

Maya Mobile isn't any better. Blocking still depends on local partner carriers. On some Asian plans, European banking apps may be restricted, or TikTok may be slowed down in certain countries. Maya does not contractually guarantee that apps will not be blocked.

You pay for a set amount of data. With a 10 GB plan over 30 days, you can watch about 10 to 15 hours of Netflix HD before you run out. Then you have to top up or wait. The advantage: no speed throttling—you keep your full speeds until the very last bit. The downside: you have to plan ahead and buy larger plans for long stays.

Holafly offers regional plans (Europe, the Americas, Asia) that cover about ten countries on a single eSIM, plus a global plan covering 113 countries. The plans are unlimited in duration and offer consistent quality, but there are fewer multi-country options than with Maya Mobile.

Maya Mobile relies on email and an online help center for support, with no live chat or dedicated WhatsApp channel. Response times vary: several user reviews report wait times of several days and responses that are sometimes generic for complex issues. The primary language of support is English.

The Maya Mobile app lets you purchase, install, and manage your eSIMs directly from your smartphone. The user experience is decent but not as polished as Holafly’s: the design is more basic, the onboarding process is minimalist, and there are few built-in guides to help first-time eSIM buyers.
