On the day we wrote this, Wigoo was cheaper almost everywhere. The exception was Saudi Arabia, where Nomad's 10 GB plan and ours were within cents of each other. Nomad also sells a 50 GB plan for Japan at $35, a size Wigoo does not offer.
Unlimited data
Nomad's unlimited plans in these countries last up to 21 days, and give 2 GB a day at 4G or 5G speed, then 1 Mbps. Wigoo's day passes work the same way, 2 GB a day at full speed, so here the comparison is direct.
Nomad's unlimited plan for Japan costs $25 for 7 days. On the day we wrote this, a Wigoo day pass for the same week cost less. For 30 days of unlimited data Nomad has no plan in these countries, while Wigoo's day pass runs up to 30 days.

Which one to choose
- Choose Wigoo for most destinations, and for day passes longer than three weeks.

- Choose Nomad if you want a very large fixed plan, like 50 GB for Japan.
