Saily sells eSIM data with a privacy owner attached. Nord Security, the company behind NordVPN, owns Saily and applies its documented no-log policy to eSIM traffic across 150 destinations. Founded in 2023 and run from Lithuania, Saily prices 10 GB at $18.99, a rate of $1.90/GB, and its app earns 4.6/5 for a short purchase flow with a privacy indicator on the home screen.
The honest negatives are coverage, support and price. Saily's 150 destinations are 50 short of Airalo's 200. In-app questions route to email in a single language, which puts support at 4.2/5, fourth of the five providers reviewed here. And the rate that once looked sharp no longer is: HelloRoam sells the same 10 GB for $8.26. If the no-log policy is the thing you are buying, Saily still delivers it, and the price gap is what that policy costs.
