Why we're cheaper.
Direct carrier partnerships
We skip the middlemen. No reseller markup. You pay closer to wholesale rates.
No massive ad spend
Airalo spends millions on brand awareness. We grow through content and word-of-mouth.
Lean team structure
Small, efficient team. No enterprise bloat. Lower operational costs = lower prices.
Real wholesale costs
We buy direct at wholesale rates and keep a lean margin. Transparent cost structure.
Where Airalo might still win.
Airalo has a bigger app with more features.
True. Airalo's app has more integrations (travel insurance, itinerary planning, etc.). Flysimio's app is simpler but faster. If you care about extras, Airalo edges it out.
Airalo has more marketing and bigger name recognition.
Airalo is the category leader. Everyone knows their name. If you want to stick with what you recognize, that's fair. We're scrappier and newer.
Airalo has a bigger customer support team.
More staff = faster response times for rare edge cases. We answer within 24 hours; they often within 2.
Airalo has native iOS and Android apps, not just web.
Airalo has dedicated native apps in both stores. We have a fast web app + PWA install.
Where we're identical.
Common questions.
If Flysimio is cheaper, aren't you cutting corners?
No. Same real carriers, same coverage, same instant activation. The difference is cost structure — we have lower overhead and no massive ad budget. That savings goes to you.
Can I switch from Airalo to Flysimio mid-trip?
Yes. You can have both eSIMs active at once (most modern phones support dual eSIM). Keep your Airalo plan active while testing Flysimio, then switch if you prefer.
Why trust a smaller company over Airalo?
We're lean and focused — we do eSIM, nothing else. Airalo does insurance, flights, hotels, etc. We also offer a 7-day full refund. Zero risk to try.
Is Flysimio compatible with the same phones as Airalo?
Yes. Any phone with eSIM support (iPhone XS+, modern Android, tablets) works with both. eSIM is a global standard.
Can I get a refund if I don't use it?
Yes. 7 days from purchase for a full refund, no questions asked.
