Holafly sells only unlimited plans for Malta, 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 Malta
| Provider | 7 days | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| ONE eSIM | $12.11 | 1 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps until the next day (7 × $1.73) |
| Airalo | $27.00 | 3 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps (fair use) |
| Holafly | $27.50 | No daily cap; fair use may slow very heavy use |
| Saily | $26.99 | 5 GB a day at full speed, then up to 1 Mbps |
| Nomad | $25.00 | 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 $12.11. The cheapest of the others is Nomad at $25.00, 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 Malta
ONE eSIM's Malta plans run on Vodafone and GO, both with 5G where available (your phone may show the operator's current brand name instead). Malta is small and densely covered, so signal is good across Valletta, the Sliema and St Julian's seafront, Mdina and the beaches; Gozo is covered by the same networks.
Which eSIM should you choose for Malta?
- Short trip, light use (up to 3 GB): ONE eSIM's 3 GB plan at $4.13 (15 days), the cheapest at that size.

How we check prices
We read each provider's public Malta page on 4 November 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 If a number is out of date, write to support@oneesim.app and we will correct it.
