GigSky review

GigSky ranks eighth and is the specialist pick for cruises. Its App Store listing says plans start at $4.99 in 190+ countries, with fixed-term plans from 1 GB to 50 GB and unlimited plans for 1, 3, 7, 14, 21 or 30 days. Cruise + Land plans keep you connected on the ship and in port, which most general eSIM apps do not cover. New users get a free 100MB plan without a credit card, and every purchase earns 5% back as credit. GigSky is an official Visa partner, and gigsky.com says eligible Visa cards get up to 30% off plans. It also offers GigSky One, a subscription for travel of 30+ days. The limits are a smaller country count than the 200+ of most rivals and a free plan that only works as a test. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not test networks abroad.
