Pricing notes. Prepaid data packages, often cheaper per GB than rivals on larger bundles. Entry plans start around S$8; regional and unlimited-style plans cost more.

GST. Digital eSIM plans sold to Singapore consumers have 9% GST included in the displayed price.

Nomad is a popular Airalo alternative that competes hard on price. For Singaporean travellers who know exactly where they are going — say a week in Japan or Korea — Nomad's larger data bundles often work out cheaper per GB than the equivalent Airalo plan, and its regular promos can widen that gap.

Pros & cons

What’s good

  • Often the lowest per-GB price on larger single-country bundles.
  • Runs frequent promotions that can undercut Airalo.
  • Clean app with clear data tracking.

Worth noting

  • Data-only — no local phone number.
  • Slightly narrower country coverage than Airalo.
  • Promo pricing makes it worth checking the current rate before each trip.

Our verdict

Choose Nomad when you want the best price for a single, known destination and you are happy to check the current promo. For sprawling multi-country trips, Airalo's wider coverage may still win.
