Airalo, Holafly, and Nomad in the receipt duel

Airalo only survives “saily” if the receipt matches the ad (or the delta is written).

Holafly shows near “best travel esim”; measure the cart, not the hero.

Keep Nomad ready to freeze the shortlist if checkout invents a last-step fee.

Fails that kill annual

• Landing on Airalo/Holafly with no numeric price.
• Checkout on Nomad with a surprise fee.
• “airalo” without a timestamped shot.
• Incomplete duel under 20 minutes.

Receipt go / no-go

Consider annual on travel-esim-pick only with two shots and delta <= 37%. Otherwise stay monthly.

Compare eSIM revisits when “saily” or “best travel esim” change the price funnel.

Kit: landing shot, checkout shot, URL, time, sentence tying “travel esim europe” to the delta.

Compare eSIM (travel-esim-pick) turns “saily” into a receipt duel: landing price versus checkout total for travel eSIM.

Signals (“best travel esim”, “travel esim europe”, “airalo”) only count after a landing shot and a cart shot on Airalo/Holafly/Nomad.

20-minute rule: if checkout lands > 37% above the ad, freeze annual.
