Policies compared

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

ID verification
Maya Mobile: Not confirmed yet
eSIMCard: Not required
Nomad: Not required
Saily: Not confirmed yet
Refund policy
Maya Mobile: Full refund (less processing fees) within 30 days if no data has been used — including incompatible or carrier-locked devices; partial refunds proportionate to unused data for Maya-side network issues.
eSIMCard: No refunds once the eSIM is installed and used; refunds within 30 days for coverage issues preventing installation, technical problems with no data consumed, or unauthorized purchases.
Nomad: Refund requests must be made within 30 days of purchase: a plan not yet installed or activated may be fully refunded (to the card or as Nomad Points); after activation only a partial refund for verified technical failure. Unlimited plans and a few others are non-refundable.
Saily: Full refund if the eSIM has not been installed or the data plan was never activated; after activation, refunds only while more than 99% of the data balance remains unused (subscriptions: within 14 days).
Validity starts
Maya Mobile: Each plan runs for its full duration once activated in the app (turn the eSIM on when you land, not automatically at purchase); you're charged once at purchase regardless of how much data you use, and there are no partial refunds for unused days.
eSIMCard: The eSIM activates automatically when the first byte of data is consumed at the destination, not at purchase, so it can be bought and installed well in advance.
Nomad: Validity starts only when the eSIM is activated, meaning first connection to a network or the automatic activation-window deadline - not at installation or purchase.
Saily: Saily plans must be installed before your trip; the validity/data countdown starts when the eSIM activates (first connection at your destination), not at purchase.
Fair-use limit
Maya Mobile: Unlimited plans: speed may be temporarily throttled to 10 Mbps once daily usage exceeds 3GB, and to 1 Mbps if very high usage continues; any throttle is removed within 24 hours. Prepaid (fixed-GB) plans run at full local network speed.
eSIMCard: Unlimited bundles include an allowed amount of full-speed data per rolling 24-hour period (starting from first use), after which speed drops for the rest of that period before resetting.
Nomad: Most Unlimited plans give 2 GB of high-speed data per day, then speed drops to about 1 Mbps or 2 Mbps (depending on the plan) for the rest of the day; the allowance resets every 24 hours from activation.
Saily: Unlimited plans include a Fair Use Policy: full-speed data resets every 24 hours (5GB standard, as low as 3GB in some countries), then speed is reduced until the next reset.
Top-ups & rollover
Maya Mobile: Add data to an existing eSIM any time: pick a package in the Shop and choose your existing eSIM at checkout (no reinstall); optional Auto Renew also extends 30-day plans monthly.
eSIMCard: Existing eSIMs can be topped up or extended with more data through the eSIMCard app, which also lets you manage active plans.
Nomad: Add-ons can be purchased in the Nomad eSIM app or website (Manage, then Add more data) without reinstalling; not every plan supports add-ons and they cannot be bought from the UAE or India.
Saily: Existing Saily eSIMs can be topped up (including an Auto Top-Up option) directly in the Saily app without reinstalling, per their Help Center.
