Policies compared

Confirmed from each provider's own site — see the trust card on each provider page for the verification date.

ID verification

AirPlans: Not required

ZetSIM: Not confirmed yet

Refund policy

AirPlans: Full refund within 30 days if the eSIM was never installed or activated, wasn't delivered, or had a verified unresolved technical failure; installed plans and wrong-destination purchases are non-refundable.

ZetSIM: An eSIM that has not been activated and whose plan is still valid is refunded in full, with no fee, as refund coins (store credit in the same currency, never expires, not withdrawable as cash). No refund once activated or for unused data.

Validity starts

AirPlans: On most plans validity begins the first time the eSIM connects to a supported network at the destination, not at purchase or install; AirPlans' Terms note some plans instead start on installation, as stated in each plan's terms.

ZetSIM: Validity starts when the eSIM first connects to a local network at the destination, not at purchase.

Fair-use limit

AirPlans: Unlimited plans come with a daily high-speed allowance (1GB, 2GB or 3GB per day depending on the plan), after which speed drops to a stated rate (512 Kbps to about 2 Mbps) until the next day. Both figures are published per plan in their feed and shown on each plan row here.

ZetSIM: Unlimited plans: 2GB of high-speed data per day, then 256 kbps; the daily allowance resets every 24 hours from first connection.

Top-ups & rollover

AirPlans: Existing eSIMs can be topped up with more data from the My eSIMs screen in the app, no reinstall needed.

ZetSIM: Add a new plan to the eSIM you already installed: no new QR code, no reinstall.
