Longer-validity alternatives
When a rival package had no exact match, it was checked against PikoeSIM plans with the same total data and more days. These longer-validity options are alternatives to, not copies of, the rival plan.
| Provider | Data | Rival plan | PikoeSIM alternative |
|---|---|---|---|
| Airalo | 1 GB | 3 days $4.00 | 7 days $1.43 |
| Airalo | 3 GB | 3 days $8.50 | 30 days $2.14 |

| Airalo | 50 GB | 30 days $49.00 | 90 days $77.29 |
Each such offer was matched with the cheapest same-data PikoeSIM plan with longer validity; at equal prices, the longest was preferred when recorded terms matched.

Frequently asked questions
Were all PikoeSIM exact-match prices lower than the rivals' for North Macedonia?
Yes, on 17 October 2026. In all 11 exact same-data, same-validity matches, the PikoeSIM USD price sat below the rival's. These recommendations reflect listed prices only, not network quality.
Does the data allowance reset daily on these North Macedonia plans?
No. These are fixed-total data plans; your full allowance covers the entire validity, not one day at a time. Top up packages, daily-reset allowances and unlimited plans were excluded from this comparison.
Does installing my PikoeSIM start its validity?
Not for the recorded North Macedonia packages. Their listed trigger is first network connection, so the days begin once the plan connects. Check the trigger on your selected plan before you travel.
