Firsty covers “170 countries included at one price” and is the only provider in this set with a free tier: “Watch ads - Zero costs”. Its unlimited plan is €2 a day with a published cap of “5 GB at high speed, then 512 Kbps”. It does not sell a phone line. Numero eSIM sells numbers in 39 countries, a full eSIM with data, minutes and a real number in 188, and 19 calling plans.
Firsty is the price leader of this set: free ad-supported data across 170 countries, €0.98 a gigabyte, €2 a day for unlimited. On data alone it costs less than most of the field, Numero eSIM included. What is left to compare is the phone line. Firsty sells top-up credit to call abroad and nothing to be called on.
Does Firsty give you a phone number?
No. There is no number, no toll-free line and no eSIM carrying a real number; calling abroad is a top-up. Numero eSIM sells numbers in 39 countries from $3.99 a month and a full eSIM with data, minutes and a number in 188.
What are the fair-use terms on each side?
Firsty publishes its cap on the product page: 5 GB at high speed, then 512 Kbps until the next day or a top-up. Numero eSIM's, published in its terms, is 2 GB a day at full speed and then 1 Mbps: a faster speed after the cap, and less high-speed data before it. Both figures are in the table so you can weigh them.
What does “free” include?
An ad-supported data tier in 170 countries, by Firsty's own description “Watch ads - Zero costs”. Numero eSIM's data eSIM starts at €3.50 in 181 countries and 7 regions, and sits next to the number, the full eSIM and the calling plans on one account.
Firsty sells travel data with an ad-supported free tier. The table compares it across all four Numero eSIM product lines; Firsty competes in one of them.

Firsty is the only competitor in this set that publishes its fair-use policy on the product page: 5 GB at high speed, then 512 Kbps. Numero eSIM's is 2 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps, published in its terms. Firsty gives more high-speed data before the cap; Numero eSIM gives more speed after it.
Numero eSIM sells numbers in 39 countries from $3.99 a month, a full eSIM in 188 with data, minutes and a real number from €16.00, and 19 calling plans. Firsty's calling is a top-up to dial out, and nothing on its side can be dialled.
A free, ad-supported data tier across 170 countries is something nobody else here offers. At €0.98 per gigabyte and €2 a day for unlimited with the ability to pause, Firsty is priced below most of the field, Numero eSIM included. For data alone, it is hard to beat.
Data in “190+ countries” next to its original product, a map of shared WiFi hotspots, with no price or number published. Numero eSIM publishes both.
190+ countries on “520 Networks” with inflight plans, and “Voice and Text Plans” referenced without details. Numero eSIM spells out its number and calling products.
The nearest match to the whole portfolio: eSIM, data, phone numbers, calls and SMS in one app. Compared with Numero eSIM on what each side publishes, price by price.
