To me, Airalo gives a good mix of convenience, performance and price for the way that I use data. Doesn't mean they are the cheapest, or the best, or the fastest - but so far I've yet to have a bad experience with Airalo, where the few times I've tried other companies (not including local (e)SIMs) I have had issues in some form or other.

For this particular trip I knew I wouldn't need much data, as it was a 4 day trip where I knew 90+% of the time would be in either the hotel or our office - both of which have Wifi. If I'd been buying from Airalo I probably would have bought the 2GB plan even through I knew 1GB would have been enough. I certainly didn't need 100GB!
