Holafly sells only unlimited plans for Canada, so it has no price in the GB rows; its 7-day plan is in the week table below.
A week of unlimited data in Canada
| Provider | 7 days | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| ONE eSIM | $26.60 | 1 GB a day at full speed, then 512 Kbps until the next day (7 × $3.80) |
| Airalo | $28.87 | 3 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps (fair use) |
| Holafly | $36.50 | No daily cap; fair use may slow very heavy use |
| Saily | $28.99 | 3 GB a day at full speed, then up to 1 Mbps |
| Nomad | $30.00 | 2 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps |
For a week, ONE eSIM's 1 GB a day plan is the cheapest way to stay online all day at $26.60. The cheapest of the others is Airalo at $28.87, which gives more full-speed data a day; compare by how much you use a day, not by the word unlimited.
Networks and coverage in Canada
ONE eSIM's Canada plans connect to Rogers Wireless, Bell, Telus and SaskTel, all with 5G in supported areas. That's a broad spread across the country's main carriers, so you should get decent coverage in cities and along major highways, with the usual rural gaps any Canadian network has. The 1 GB plan itself runs on the Rogers Wireless network.

How we check prices
We read each provider's public Canada page on 27 October 2026 and took its cheapest plan at or above each size, in US dollars before any coupon, with the validity in brackets; ONE eSIM prices are our live list prices on the same day. Prices move, so we re-check every month and keep the date on the page and in the short answer. If a number is out of date, write to support@oneesim.app and we will correct it.
