Longer-validity alternatives
Seven rival offers had no exact match. Each gets a separate comparison against a PikoeSIM package with the same total data but more days — a similar, not identical, plan.
| Provider | Data | Rival plan | PikoeSIM alternative |
|---|---|---|---|
| Airalo | 1 GB | 3 days $4.00 | 30 days $0.66 |
| Airalo | 3 GB | 3 days $8.50 | 5 days $0.91 |

| Airalo | 10 GB | 15 days $22.00 | 30 days $2.65 |
| Airalo | 20 GB | 15 days $34.50 | 30 days $5.39 |
Each alternative is the lowest-priced PikoeSIM option with the same data and longer validity; at equal price, the longest validity wins when recorded terms match.

Frequently asked questions
Were PikoeSIM's prices lower for every identical Switzerland package on 17 October 2026?
Yes. Sixteen rival offers matched a PikoeSIM package on total data and validity, and PikoeSIM listed the lower USD price in all sixteen — for example, 20 GB/30 days at $5.39 versus Saily's $36.99.
How does a fixed-total data plan work in Switzerland?
Fixed data plans give one allowance for the whole validity; nothing resets daily. If you run out, compare a larger package before assuming you can top up.
When does a PikoeSIM Switzerland package start counting its validity?
Only the 100 MB/7-day package starts at installation, so add it close to departure. All other recorded packages start at first network connection, which lets you install early without using days.
