Saily review: prices, unlimited plans, coverage and security features of NordVPN's eSIM

Saily at a glance: our verdict

Saily launched in 2024 and is run from Lithuania by Nord Security. The table sums up what our database shows about the provider (October 2026):

• Strong points: high daily allowances on unlimited plans, a fallback speed that is faster than on many competitors, top-ups on every plan, very good user ratings and security features built into the app.
• Weaker points: higher prices per gigabyte than most providers we compare, and no network or 5G information in the plan data.

Saily's current score, prices and all plans are on its provider page, which we update daily.

Saily plans and prices: how they are structured

Saily keeps its range simple. For each country you choose between a few fixed data packages and a set of unlimited plans:

• Fixed data: 1 GB valid for 7 days, and 3, 5, 10 or 20 GB valid for 30 days. A few destinations have additional sizes.
• Unlimited: plans for 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 days in most countries, with a daily full-speed allowance (see the next section).
• Regional and global plans: one eSIM for several countries, for example Europe, Asia or a global plan with more than 100 countries. Some global plans also run for 90, 180 or 365 days.

Which size fits depends on how you use your phone. For a week of maps, messaging and some browsing, the 3 GB package is usually enough. For two to four weeks with social media and the occasional video call, 10 or 20 GB is a safer choice. If you stream video on mobile data or share your connection, an unlimited plan is the simpler option. Our guide How much data do I need for travel? has typical values per activity.

Saily is not a budget provider. Across the single-country plans in our database, its typical price per gigabyte is in the upper range of the roughly 40 providers we list, and for a 5 GB country plan we did not find a destination where Saily was the cheapest option at the time of writing. On the other hand, every plan can be topped up, so you can start with a smaller package and add data in the app if you need more.

To see how far Saily is from the cheapest offers, compare its prices on the Saily provider page with the table below, which shows the cheapest plans of all providers for Japan:

Saily unlimited plans: 3 or 5 GB a day at full speed

Saily's unlimited plans are where it stands out most. According to the plan data, each unlimited plan includes either 3 or 5 GB a day at full speed, depending on the destination; after that the connection continues at 1 Mbps until the allowance resets the next day.

Both values are above what is typical. Across all unlimited plans in our database, the most common daily allowances are 1 and 2 GB, and many plans drop to 512 kbps or less afterwards. At 1 Mbps, maps, messaging, music and video calls at reduced quality still work, so the slowdown is noticeable mainly with video streaming and large downloads.

For comparison, the table shows the cheapest unlimited plans for Europe from all providers, with a separate column for plans that keep at least 3 GB a day at full speed:

A daily allowance of 3 to 5 GB is enough for most travellers; it becomes a limit only for heavy streaming or when you share the connection with a laptop. Our guide Unlimited eSIM plans: how unlimited are they really? explains how the different rules compare.

Coverage, networks and regional plans

Saily covers close to 200 countries with single-country plans. Its regional plans are useful if one trip takes you to several countries:

• Europe: around 35 countries in one plan.
• Asia: about 20 countries, depending on the plan.
• Africa, Middle East, Caribbean, South America and North America: separate regional plans of different sizes.
• Global: more than 100 countries in one eSIM, useful for longer trips across continents.

Regional plans differ in which countries they include, so check the list before you buy. On the Saily provider page you can search for a country and see every Saily plan that covers it, including regional and global ones.

One gap is transparency: the plan data we collect from Saily does not name the partner networks or say whether a plan includes 5G. That is the main reason Saily scores lower on transparency in our ranking than providers that publish this information. If a specific network matters to you, compare the network tables on our destination pages, for example for Japan or Europe.

Saily also sells plans for cruises. We do not include them in our comparison, because they depend on the ship's maritime network rather than on a country.

Security features: what Saily adds beyond data

Because Saily comes from a security company, its app includes optional protection features that most travel eSIM apps do not have:

• Web protection: blocks known malicious and phishing websites while you use Saily data.
• Ad and tracker blocking: reduces ads and online tracking, which can also save some data.
• Virtual location: lets you appear to browse from a different country.

These features are not a full VPN: they do not encrypt your traffic. If you use public WiFi or want encryption, you still need a VPN. For frequent travellers, Saily also offers Saily Ultra, a monthly subscription launched in 2025 that combines global data with other Nord Security apps such as NordVPN and NordPass. It is a separate product with its own terms and price.

What users say: ratings and our score

Saily has one of the largest and best-rated user bases among the providers we track. In early October 2026, its ratings were:

In our score, Saily does very well on plan terms and user ratings and well on coverage. It loses points on price and transparency, which is why it ends up in the middle of our ranking rather than at the top. The score is recalculated every day; you can see how it is built on our methodology page.

Who Saily suits, and when to look elsewhere

Saily is a good choice if you:

• want an unlimited plan with a high daily allowance and a usable speed afterwards,
• like managing and topping up your eSIM in one well-rated app,
• value the built-in security features or already use other Nord Security apps.

Look elsewhere if you:

• want the lowest price for a fixed amount of data; the tables on our destination pages are sorted by price,
• need to know the network or 5G before you buy,
• need calls and SMS on the travel line; use the “Calls & SMS” filter under “More filters” on a destination page.
