Data Plan provides comprehensive network monitoring that fits your specific needs. Stay in control of your data consumption with an intuitive interface that shows exactly what you need to know. FEATURES OVERVIEW - Supports Cellular and Wi-Fi Interfaces The app supports monitoring of cellular and Wi-Fi interfaces, including eSIMs. - Flexible Configuration Create tracking plans that fit your needs. — Rolling Window Track data usage within rolling number of days. For example, if you need to keep tracking 10 GB within the last 3 days. — Rollover Data Automatically move unused data to the next cycle. - Multiple Plans Create as many tracking plans as needed. - Widgets Stay on top of your data usage with clear & intuitive Home & Lock screen widgets. - Notifications Configure notifications for getting reminders about reaching daily or cycle limits. - Autonomous With the needed setup completed correctly, you do not need to open the app, and it will still track the data correctly. WHAT THE APP CAN'T DO While many features are supported, and the app provides the best tracking of network data usage possible, there are still limitations imposed by iOS. - Multiple SIM or eSIMs Data Plan cannot automatically track data usage for multiple SIMs / eSIMs at the same time. Currently, iOS does not allow that. You can still track data per SIM / eSIM, if you allow one SIM / eSIM connection at a time. This can be configured in the Device Settings. - Roaming Data Plan cannot automatically track when you go roaming. This might be possible in the future with location-based tracking. FREE TRIAL Because the app essentially offers one main feature, it requires being on a paid plan. When installing the app, everyone is entitled to a 7-day trial, and the app sends a notification 2 days before the trial expires.

Verdict

The call
