Our verdict
Saily wins as the better overall product at nearly the same money: prices within a dollar or two of Nomad on most routes, a noticeably better app, faster support, and the ad blocker and web protection that come with every plan. Nomad strikes back during its flash sales, when its big bundles undercut everyone, and deal hunters should check it before every trip. Buy Saily by default; buy Nomad when its sale banner happens to match your destination.
“The challenger built by the NordVPN team: usually a notch cheaper than Airalo, with an ad blocker and web protection included. The catalog is younger and slightly smaller, but the value per gigabyte is the best among the big names.”Editorial team, on Saily
“Routinely the cheapest fixed-data bundles in our spot checks, especially during its frequent sales. The app is decent, coverage is broad, and the savings against Airalo grow with bundle size. Watch the validity windows: some cheap packs run shorter than you think.”Editorial team, on Nomad
