CocoRoam vs Holafly
Holafly is known for unlimited data plans. CocoRoam offers flexible plans at competitive prices. Here's how they compare so you can pick the right one for your trip.
The core difference
Holafly sells unlimited data plans priced by duration. You choose how many days you need (5, 7, 10, 15, 30 days) and get unlimited data for that period.
CocoRoam sells plans by data amount and duration. You choose both how much data and how many days. This gives you more control over what you pay.
This means Holafly can be simpler (no worrying about running out), while CocoRoam can be cheaper if you don't need unlimited data.
Pricing
Holafly's unlimited Europe plans start around $19.50 for 5 days and go up to $75+ for 30 days.
CocoRoam's Europe plans start lower for capped data bundles. If you need 3–5 GB for a week-long trip, you'll typically pay significantly less than Holafly's unlimited rate.
When Holafly makes sense: If you're a heavy data user (streaming, video calls, remote work) and don't want to think about limits, the unlimited plan can be worth the premium.
When CocoRoam makes sense: If you're a light-to-moderate user (maps, messaging, social media, occasional browsing), you'll save money with a right-sized data plan instead of paying for unlimited you won't use.

Coverage
Both providers cover popular travel destinations across Europe, Asia, and beyond. Holafly covers 200+ destinations. CocoRoam covers 150+ countries.
For mainstream destinations (Western Europe, Southeast Asia, North America), coverage is comparable. Holafly may have an edge for less common destinations.
Plan flexibility
This is the structural difference. Holafly's catalogue is built around durations — 5, 7, 10, 15, or 30 days of unlimited data. CocoRoam's is built around two dimensions: data amount AND duration. You can buy 1 GB for a week, 20 GB for a month, or anything in between.
If you know roughly how much data you use, this saves money. If you don't, the data calculator can estimate it for you in a couple of minutes.

Hotspot and tethering

Holafly's hotspot support varies by destination and plan. Some plans restrict tethering entirely. Check the fine print for your specific destination before purchasing.
