Travel light. Stay connected. Flylo is the eSIM that just works. Pick a country, tap Apple Pay, and you're online the moment your plane lands — no SIM swaps, no airport queues, no roaming bill surprises. ---------- WHY FLYLO ---------- • 190+ countries — Asia, Europe, Africa, Americas, Oceania, the Middle East. One app, one account, one experience. • Unlimited data plans — From £3.90/day. No throttling, no fair-usage gotchas. Just data that works. • 5G + 4G everywhere supported — We connect to local premium networks, not bottom-tier roaming. • 2-minute setup — Tap to install. Your iPhone adds the eSIM automatically (no QR-code scanning). • Apple Pay checkout — One tap with Face ID. No forms, no card details to type. • Keep your normal SIM — Your eSIM runs alongside your regular SIM. Calls/texts go to your number; data switches to Flylo. Best of both. • Pay only for what you use — From 1-day passes to 30-day unlimited. Top up from inside the app. • Honest, transparent pricing — Same price you see in-app is what you pay. No mystery fees, no auto-renewals. ---------- HOW IT WORKS ---------- 1. Pick your destination — 190+ countries and 7 regional bundles (Europe, Asia, Latin America, etc.). 2. Choose a plan — Unlimited or capped. From 1 day to 30 days. 3. Pay with Apple Pay — One tap. No card details to type. 4. Tap install — Your phone adds the eSIM in seconds. No QR scanning. 5. Land and you're online — Data switches on automatically. ---------- BUILT FOR TRAVELLERS ---------- We're a small team of travellers who got tired of $50 roaming bills and 2-hour SIM-card queues at airports. So we built Flylo: the eSIM app we wish existed. • Live customer support 7 days a week • Refund within 24 hours if it doesn't work • Earn 5% off by leaving us a review • Refer friends, both get £5 Compatible with iPhone XR or newer (and most iPhones from 2018+). ---------- SUPPORT ---------- Email: support@flylo.app Web: https://flylo.app Privacy policy: https://flylo.app/privacy Terms: https://flylo.app/terms

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Flylo at none against SimWise's 10. Flylo also leads on ratings volume (8 vs 1) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
