Saily
eSIMPrivacy-first eSIM by the Nord Security team
Best for: Privacy-conscious travelers and Nord ecosystem users who want a trustworthy data-only eSIM with clean UX at competitive per-GB prices.
Overview
Saily is an eSIM service built by the team behind NordVPN, with a strong focus on privacy and security. Competitive prices across 150+ destinations, a clean app experience and flexible data-only plans make it a great pick for privacy-conscious travelers.
Saily's pitch is a trusted name in privacy applied to travel data: the Nord Security team built it, and the app carries that DNA — clean onboarding, no ads, and built-in DNS-level filtering that blocks known malicious domains while you roam.
Plans are classic data buckets (1 / 3 / 5 / 10 / 20 GB) with 7-day minimum validity, extendable by top-up, and a flexible renewal model where unused data can roll over on auto-renewing plans in supported destinations.
Coverage spans 150+ destinations with multi-network routing in many markets, which reduces dead zones compared with single-network local plans.
The app supports installing the eSIM before travel and activating on arrival, and support is in-app chat. Saily frequently bundles promos (e.g. first-plan discounts) and the price per GB undercuts Airalo on many routes, though it does not offer unlimited plans or phone numbers — it is data-only, full stop.
If you already live in the Nord ecosystem (NordVPN, NordPass), the single-account experience is the most seamless on this list.
