Is the Nomad Worth It?

Cheapest per gigabyte. For a US trip specifically, Nomad gives you the same dual-network roaming as Airalo for a third less per gigabyte. Its smaller country list matters only if you are hopping borders.

Nomad Pros & Cons

Pros
  • $1.80 per GB — the lowest mainstream price here
  • 20 GB for $32 brings it under $1.60 per GB for heavier users
  • Roams onto both T-Mobile and AT&T
  • Clean app with clear usage tracking
Cons
  • Fewer countries than Airalo or Saily
  • Speeds were mid-pack in our tests
  • Customer support is email-first
