Saily comes from the team behind NordVPN, and it advertises a lot. But when you line the plans up, a trip to Turkey or a month in Europe costs roughly half as much with Blue eSIM.

Saily's own website doesn't let price checkers read it, so we took Saily's prices from the eSIMDB price tracker in October 2026. Saily lists prices in US dollars and we list ours in euros. One euro is worth a little more than one dollar, so we only compare plan sizes where Blue eSIM stays cheaper either way.

Turkey: what you pay

5 GB, 30 days€4.95$9.99
10 GB, 30 days€8.45$15.99
20 GB, 30 days€14.45$22.99

Europe: what you pay

Data, 30 daysBlue eSIM (34 countries)Saily
3 GB€5.99$12.49
10 GB€12.79$35.99

A month across Europe with 10 GB costs €12.79 with us. That is about a third of the price.

What Saily's "unlimited" really means

Saily also sells unlimited plans, from $18.99 for 5 days in Turkey. Read the small print: according to the plan details, you get 5 GB a day at full speed, then the speed drops to 1 Mbps for the rest of the day. That's slow enough to make video and video calls a struggle.

With a fixed plan from us, every gigabyte runs at full speed, up to 5G where the network offers it. If you need more, you top up the same eSIM in the app.
