Why the two price lists are shaped differently

How Ubigi and Yesim build their plan ladders

Ubigi is a metered catalogue with a subscription floor: 452 of its 483 plans are data buckets spanning 0.5 GB to 240 GB, valid from 1 day to a full year, and seven separate fair-use wordings cover them, including auto-renewing monthly lines and 12-month subscriptions. Yesim is unlimited-first — 1,344 unlimited listings against 308 metered — and everything it sells runs from 1 to 30 days, with no annual option.

So this is less a head-to-head on price than a choice of shape: a long-validity, high-ceiling data account on one side, a short unlimited trip pass on the other. The per-gigabyte comparison only becomes meaningful once you know which of those two you are actually shopping for.
