Saily review

Saily ranks second for travelers who want more than raw data. Its App Store listing describes prepaid local and multi-destination plans in 200+ destinations, top-ups in a few taps and usage tracking in one app. Two features set it apart from the other apps here: an ad blocker and Web protection built in by the team behind NordVPN, and shared plans that let one buyer split data with up to 4 travel buddies. Saily also sells an optional US second number from US$0.99 per month, cruise plans for select cruise lines, and a Saily Ultra subscription for frequent travelers. Saily's Japan page lists fixed plans from 1 GB for 7 days up to 20 GB for 30 days plus an unlimited option, which makes price per gigabyte easy to compare. The page showed prices in euros from our location, so the USD check is pending. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not test networks abroad.
