Why the two price lists are shaped differently
How Holafly and Roami build their plan ladders
The two catalogues barely overlap in shape. Holafly sells nothing but unlimited data: 298 day passes from 3 to 30 days, no metered plan at all. Roami's 1,181 plans are mostly metered, from about 100 MB up to 100 GB, with a 37× spread between the cheapest and the dearest gigabyte and validity out to 180 days.
If you want a fixed amount of data you cannot buy it from Holafly; if you want one short unlimited pass, Roami sells it in 49 of its 50 markets rather than across the whole catalogue. Disclosure differs as well — Holafly's cards mention only a monthly 1 GB backup allowance, Roami's no post-cap speed.
