Saily: the eSIM app from the NordVPN team

What Saily Does

• Data plans in more than 200 destinations, bought and installed inside the app.
• Built by Nord Security, the company behind NordVPN, which is also the developer name on the app stores.
• Ad and tracker blocking on the connection itself, rather than as a second subscription you have to remember to turn on.
• Instant top-ups when a plan runs low mid-trip.
• A subscription tier for frequent travellers, aimed at people abroad most months rather than on one holiday a year.

Why It Makes Sense for Nomads

The interesting part is what the parent company brings. Public wifi in airports, cafes and coworkings is where most nomads do their least careful browsing, and Saily puts a layer of filtering in the path by default. That is not a full VPN, and it should not be treated as one, but it is protection you get without a second app and a second bill.

The app-only model is the other thing to weigh. Everything lives in one place, which is genuinely simpler than juggling a QR code from an email you have to find again, and the same account carries from country to country. The flip side is that you need the app installed and working before you have data, so set it up while you still have wifi.

For anyone already paying Nord Security for something else, keeping travel data with the same company is one fewer account to manage across borders.

Pricing

Plans are priced per destination and per bundle, and the subscription tier is billed monthly. Prices move often enough that the app is the only reliable place to check.

The pick for people who want the eSIM and the wifi hygiene in one app.
