**Quick answer:** As of 3 November 2026, Airalo's Philippines eSIM runs on Smart and costs from US$7.50 for 3 GB over 3 days, with unlimited plans from US$11.50 for 3 days, and its app is rated 4.7 on iOS and 4.6 on Android. A new Fizen app user pays less on six fixed-data plans on the Globe network, for example US$15.48 against US$18.00 for 10 GB over 7 days.

**Key takeaways**

- **Airalo Philippines runs on Smart.** Its page names Smart as the primary network; Fizen's Philippines plan runs on Globe 4G and 5G.
- **New Fizen app users save 7% to 14%** on six fixed-data plans from 5 GB to 20 GB (3 November 2026).
- **Unlimited is about the same price** on both for 5 to 15 days. For a month of unlimited or 50 GB, Airalo is lower.
- **Neither gives you a +63 number.** Both are data-only, so keep your home SIM for bank and app codes.

You typed "Airalo Philippines" because the flight is booked and you want data the moment the plane door opens at NAIA or Mactan. Fair question: is Airalo's price good, which network do you land on, and is there a better deal for your exact days? We read Airalo's Philippines page on 3 November 2026 and put it next to the Fizen app, plan by plan.

## How much is Airalo's Philippines eSIM?

On 3 November 2026 Airalo listed fixed-data plans from 3 GB for 3 days (US$7.50) up to 50 GB for 30 days (US$48.00), and unlimited plans from 3 days (US$11.50) to 30 days (US$71.00). Its page says top-up packages appear before and after purchase when they are available, and it lists no Philippine phone number with any plan.

The page does not state hotspot rules or when validity starts, so open the plan details in the Airalo app before you pay if you will tether a laptop or install weeks ahead.

## Is the Fizen app cheaper than Airalo for the Philippines?

On these six plans, yes. Exclusive to new Fizen app users: US$10 of eSIM credit lands in the eSIM tab the moment you join and pays for up to 30% of each plan until it is used. In the app you pay with USDT or by card (Stripe).

| Plan           | Airalo   | Fizen app, new users  |
| -------------- | -------- | --------------------- |
| 5 GB, 7 days   | US$11.00 | **US$10.26** SAVE 7%  |
| 10 GB, 7 days  | US$18.00 | **US$15.48** SAVE 14% |
| 10 GB, 15 days | US$18.50 | **US$16.65** SAVE 10% |
| 10 GB, 30 days | US$19.00 | **US$17.29** SAVE 9%  |
| 20 GB, 15 days | US$28.50 | **US$26.51** SAVE 7%  |
| 20 GB, 30 days | US$30.00 | **US$27.90** SAVE 7%  |

App prices can differ by a few cents; checked 3 November 2026\. On 3 GB for 3 days, 5 GB for 15 or 30 days and unlimited for 5 to 15 days the two are about the same price. More benefit: US$2 of eSIM credit after every order, for your next trip.

## Which network does Airalo use in the Philippines, Smart or Globe?

Airalo's Philippines page names **Smart** as the primary network. Fizen's Philippines country plan runs on **Globe** 4G and 5G, according to Fizen's catalogue on 3 November 2026, and its fixed-data plans slow to 128 kbps when the data runs out instead of cutting off, enough for messages and a text map.

If you already know which one held up on your last trip to Siargao or Coron, let that decide, because the network matters more than a dollar. Our [Philippines eSIM guide](https://blog.fizen.io/best-travel-esim-for-philippines-2026/) covers coverage island by island.

## What do Airalo reviews say, and who should pick it?

Airalo's own page shows app ratings of 4.7 on iOS and 4.6 on Android, without a review count. It has the biggest catalogue, a polished app, and Airmoney: cashback of 5% to 10% on each eSIM or top-up depending on your loyalty level (Airalo loyalty page, 3 November 2026).

- **Pick Airalo** for a month of unlimited data, for 50 GB over 30 days, if you want Smart, or if you already hold Airmoney.
- **Pick the Fizen app** for 5 GB to 20 GB on Globe as a new user, to pay with USDT, or to reach a real person in in-app chat if the eSIM fails.

## What should you check before buying any Philippines eSIM?

Your phone must support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked. Install on home Wi-Fi before you fly, then switch the eSIM on as your data line and turn data roaming on for it after landing; our note on [the roaming label](https://blog.fizen.io/philippines-esim-roaming-label-data-roaming-2026/) explains why that is normal. A travel eSIM is data-only, so read [eSIM with a phone number or data only](https://blog.fizen.io/philippines-esim-with-phone-number-2026/) if you need GCash or bank codes.

Most Fizen eSIMs cannot be topped up, so size the plan for the whole trip. Changed plans? An unused, not-yet-installed eSIM can usually be taken back; eligibility depends on the plan, check Package details or ask chat. **Your money. Your freedom. No borders.**
