Side by side prices for Japan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, France and the USA, plus what each offers on unlimited data, top-ups and rewards.
Airalo is the best known name in travel eSIMs, and a sensible benchmark. We compared its prices with Wigoo's for five popular destinations, using the plans closest in size and length.
Airalo's prices below were read on airalo.com on 19 September 2026, in US dollars. Wigoo's prices are not typed into this page: they come from our catalogue as you read it, in your own currency, because a price written into an article is wrong the day it changes.

Here Airalo is the better deal, and not only on price: its unlimited plans give 3 GB a day at full speed, 5 GB in the USA, before slowing to 1 Mbps. Wigoo has no unlimited plan, only day passes with 2 GB a day at full speed, and over a month they cost more than Airalo's unlimited.
If you plan to stream every day for a month, Airalo is the better choice. Most travellers use far less, and 10 or 20 GB covers a typical trip.
Everything else
| Wigoo | Airalo | |
|---|---|---|
| Data only | Yes | Yes, except some US plans with calls and texts |
| Top up the same eSIM | Yes | Yes |
| Rewards | Up to 5% back as Wigoo Money | Airmoney, from 5% up to 10% as you spend more |
| Networks in Japan | KDDI/au, NTT docomo, Rakuten Mobile, SoftBank | SoftBank, KDDI |
| Network in Saudi Arabia | STC, 5G | Zain |
Airalo's rewards grow with how much you spend, so frequent travellers who buy a lot from Airalo get more back.
Which one to choose
- Choose Wigoo if you want a fixed amount of data for a trip, and the ability to top up if you run short.
- Choose Airalo if you need heavy use every day for a long stay, or if you already have a high Airmoney tier.
