Quick answer: Both TripoSIM and Yesim cover 150+ destinations with instant QR-code eSIMs and no roaming fees. Yesim is known for unlimited day-pass plans and virtual numbers. TripoSIM's edge is multi-network price routing (it compares several wholesale networks per order to find the lowest price, with automatic failover), tiered plans from $2, HomeLink (keep receiving your home calls and bank OTP texts abroad), family packs, and Arabic-first support. For most travelers who use 3–10 GB per trip, a right-sized TripoSIM plan usually costs less than an unlimited day-rate; if you specifically want unlimited-per-day, compare Yesim's day pass against a TripoSIM tiered plan for your exact destination.
Choosing a travel eSIM comes down to price for *your* destination, the plan shape you need, and the extras that matter to you. Here's an honest side-by-side.
Pricing
- TripoSIM uses tiered data plans starting around $2, and routes each order across multiple wholesale networks to find the lowest available price per destination. You pay for the data you need; top-ups extend the same eSIM.
- Yesim offers both data packages and unlimited day-pass style plans. Unlimited is convenient but, as with any day-rate model, can cost more than a right-sized tiered plan for travelers who use moderate data.
Rule of thumb: if you use roughly 3–10 GB on a trip, price a TripoSIM tiered plan for your country first — it's often the cheaper total. If you stream or hotspot heavily every day, compare an unlimited option directly.
Coverage
Both cover 150+ destinations across Europe, Asia, the Americas, the Middle East and Africa. Coverage overlaps on all popular destinations. As always, check your specific country before buying — the best value provider for, say, Turkey may differ from the best for Japan.

Where each one wins
Choose Yesim if you specifically want an unlimited day-pass model or a virtual number feature and don't mind paying the day rate.
Choose TripoSIM if you want the lowest price for your destination (multi-network routing), flexible tiered plans, the ability to keep receiving your home number's calls and bank codes abroad (HomeLink), family packs for travelling together, or Arabic-language support. For MENA and Gulf travelers especially, TripoSIM adds local carrier relationships through parent operator BroadNet Technologies.
The honest bottom line
Yesim is a solid provider with a strong unlimited/day-pass angle. But for the majority of trips — where you use a sensible few gigabytes and care about paying the least — a right-sized TripoSIM plan with multi-network pricing tends to win on value, and the HomeLink and family-pack features are things Yesim doesn't offer. The fair test: [check the TripoSIM price for your exact destination](/destinations) and compare it to Yesim's plan for the same trip.
Frequently asked questions
Is TripoSIM cheaper than Yesim? Often, for moderate data use, because TripoSIM compares multiple networks per order and offers tiered plans from $2 rather than only day-rate unlimited. Compare your specific destination to be sure.
Does Yesim or TripoSIM have unlimited data? Both offer unlimited options; Yesim is known for unlimited day passes, and TripoSIM offers unlimited plans alongside cheaper tiered plans.
Can I keep my WhatsApp / phone number with either? Yes — both are data eSIMs, so your regular SIM and number stay active. Only TripoSIM's HomeLink also forwards your home number's calls and bank OTP texts to you over data while abroad.
