Our take
If you hate watching a data meter and accept paying more for that calm, Holafly is the clearer emotional fit — after you verify hotspot limits. If you want the most trip for your budget and can live within a GB cap, Nomad is usually the more rational price comparison. Neither is “best” in the abstract.
