Policies compared

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

ID verification
Airalo: Required for some countries (passport/ID)
AirPlans: Not required
Refund policy
Airalo: Self-service refund request from your account (My eSIMs > Package History > Request Refund) for wrong purchase, changed plans, installation issues, or a non-working eSIM โ€” expired or fully-used eSIMs aren't eligible. Wrong-purchase/changed-plans refunds go to Airmoney (their in-app credit) only; installation-issue/not-working refunds can go to Airmoney or your original payment method, taking 7-10 business days (up to 30 depending on your bank).
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.
Validity starts
Airalo: Validity starts either when the eSIM connects to the destination network or at the moment of installation, depending on the specific plan โ€” check 'Additional Information > Activation Policy' on the plan page before buying to see which applies.
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.
Fair-use limit
Airalo: Unlimited plans default to a 3GB-per-day full-speed allowance before throttling to 1 Mbps for the rest of that 24-hour period (counted from activation, not purchase); a different daily threshold is stated on the specific plan's page when it applies instead of the 3GB default.
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.
Top-ups & rollover
Airalo: Only plans marked 'rechargeable' (checkable under Additional Information before buying) can be topped up, via the My eSIMs > Top Up option in the app โ€” a non-rechargeable eSIM or one that changed carriers requires buying a new eSIM instead.
AirPlans: Existing eSIMs can be topped up with more data from the My eSIMs screen in the app, no reinstall needed.
Support
Airalo: Live chat ยท Help center ยท 24/7
AirPlans: Live chat ยท Email ยท Help center ยท 24/7
