Longer-validity alternatives
Seven rival offers lacked an identical PikoeSIM combination. Each was matched to the lowest-priced PikoeSIM plan with the same total data and a longer validity.
| Provider | Data | Rival plan | PikoeSIM alternative |
|---|---|---|---|
| Airalo | 1 GB | 3 days $4.00 | 7 days $0.66 |
| Airalo | 3 GB | 3 days $7.00 | 15 days $1.05 |

| Airalo | 20 GB | 15 days $22.50 | 30 days $5.57 |
At equal price, the longest validity wins when recorded service terms match. All seven alternatives cost less than their rival offers, though a longer-validity plan is not an identical package.
