[IMAGE:flat-design-airalo-jetpac-comparison-two-apps-flat-illustration]

Jetpac is one of the newer eSIM providers gaining traction in the travel market. It markets itself on simplicity and unlimited-style plans. I tested it during a Thailand-Vietnam trip against Airalo. Here’s my comparison.

### Head-to-Head Overview

| Feature | Airalo | Jetpac |
|—|—|—|
| Asia 10GB plan | ~$17 | ~$16 |
| Unlimited option | No | Yes (1GB/day high speed) |
| Countries | 200+ | 150+ |
| App quality | Polished | Clean, minimal |
| Customer support | Email | Chat + email |
| Plan flexibility | Excellent | Good |

### Pricing Comparison

Jetpac and Airalo are similarly priced at the 10GB tier. Jetpac’s “unlimited” plan actually means 1GB/day at full speed, then throttled — it’s more accurately a daily 4G allowance with unlimited throttled backup. At $20/month for this plan, it’s competitive.

For straight fixed-data plans, Airalo and Jetpac are nearly equal on price.

### Coverage in Southeast Asia

My speed tests across Thailand and Vietnam:

| Location | Airalo | Jetpac |
|—|—|—|
| Bangkok | 45 Mbps | 40 Mbps |
| Chiang Mai | 32 Mbps | 28 Mbps |
| Ho Chi Minh City | 52 Mbps | 46 Mbps |
| Rural northern Thailand | 8 Mbps | 7 Mbps |

Nearly identical performance. Both use quality local network partners.

### App Experience

Jetpac’s app is very clean and minimal — perhaps too minimal. I found plan details harder to access than on Airalo. Airalo’s data usage tracker and account management are more comprehensive.

For first-time eSIM users, Airalo’s more guided setup experience may be preferable.

### Where Jetpac Wins

– Competitive pricing at 10GB tier
– The “1GB/day” unlimited structure works well for consistent daily users
– Clean, simple app interface
– Slightly better live chat support response time than Airalo

### Where Airalo Wins

– More country coverage (200+ vs 150+)
– Better plan variety (more data tier options)
– More established track record (founded 2019 vs Jetpac’s more recent launch)
– Better data usage tracking

### My Verdict

Both are legitimate providers. For Southeast Asia specifically, **Airalo’s broader country coverage gives it an edge** for multi-country trips. Jetpac is worth considering if their daily 1GB unlimited structure suits your usage pattern.
