Flysimio vs Saily.

Where Saily might still win.
Saily bundles a VPN with the eSIM.
True. Saily is built by Nord Security (NordVPN), so plans include VPN routing as a feature. If you want both in one app, that's a real perk. Flysimio is data only — bring your own VPN if you need one.
Saily has the backing of NordVPN's infrastructure.
Saily inherits Nord's brand recognition and security audit history. We're a smaller, independent team. If parent-company size is a tiebreaker, Saily wins it.
Saily's app design is polished.
Saily ships a clean native app. Our web + PWA is faster to launch but lacks some app-store conveniences (Face ID quick-open, native widgets).
Common questions.
Why is Flysimio cheaper than Saily?
Saily's price funds VPN infrastructure and Nord-level marketing. We're a focused eSIM-only operator with lower overhead. That cost difference goes to you.
Do I need a VPN with my eSIM?
For most travel, no. Modern HTTPS protects sensitive traffic. A VPN helps if you're on shared Wi-Fi a lot or need to bypass geo-restrictions — in which case adding your existing VPN to a cheaper eSIM is usually still cheaper overall.
Can I switch from Saily to Flysimio mid-trip?
Yes. Most modern phones support dual eSIM. Keep your Saily plan active for backup or VPN, install Flysimio for data.
Is there a refund policy if it doesn't work?
Yes. 7 days from purchase for a full refund, no questions asked. If you activate, we refund the unused portion.
