HolaFly, Nomad, and Ubigi are the other 3 I see mentioned the most. I tried Ubigi in Colombia recently and it worked perfectly.
At the end of the day, e-sim providers all essentially work in an identical fashion with the same underlying technology and often use the same providers. Although not always.
When you go to the e-sim's website, and click on the country name, and pretend to go through the steps, you can see who they're *really* using as the provider. (it varies by country) That is about the only differentiating factor for me.
Customer support could potentially be the other differentiating factor, but like I say, on over 20 trips with e-sims I've only had to contact support once about the e-sim not working. So I can't really say how good or bad support really is for any of these e-sim providers. I'd say >95% of the time I see someone mention their experience with using an e-sim, it's a positive experience.
