What is the same at both
Both sell prepaid, data-only eSIMs with no contract. At both, the plan's days start at the first network connection, not at purchase and help is available around the clock.
Where Holafly may suit you
Holafly states these on its own site: Always On: 1 GB of free data a month in 150+ countries while the eSIM stays installed. Unlimited plans for any trip length from 1 to 90 days. If you need one of them, Holafly has something RedSim does not list.
Where RedSim fits better
For a trip of a few days to a month with a data plan, RedSim is the lower price on 15 of the 15 plans here, and up to 25% of what you pay by card comes back as wallet balance for the next trip. An eSIM you have not activated is refunded in full until the plan expires.
