travel eSIM: 14-day ROI scorecard for “saily” — prove lift before annual

Fails that kill annual

• Invented baseline for Airalo/Holafly with no screenshot.
• Lift on Nomad without true period cost.
• “airalo” never becomes a named KPI.
• Incomplete scorecard on day 14.

Scorecard go / no-go

Consider annual on travel-esim-pick only with a green sheet and ≥10% lift. Otherwise stay monthly.

Compare eSIM revisits when “saily” or “best travel esim” change the team KPI.

Kit: baseline, day-14 shots, true cost, metric owner, sentence tying “travel esim europe” to ROI.

Compare eSIM (travel-esim-pick) turns “saily” into a 14-day ROI scorecard — not an impulse annual upgrade for travel eSIM.

Nearby signals (“best travel esim”, “travel esim europe”, “airalo”) only count after baseline + KPI runs on Airalo/Holafly/Nomad.

Rule: if ROI misses the floor in 14 days, the team stays monthly.

hotspot. Enable tethering and measure 10 minutes on Holafly; compare with Nomad in the same window.

top-up. Confirm top-up price outside the trial. No day-14 evidence → scorecard fails.

Three tracks a team runs in Oxnard

A vendor owner in Oxnard froze baseline ~133 units/week, tested Airalo, mirrored on Holafly, and kept Nomad as control with 5 seats.

Ceiling ~$175/month. No ≥10% lift vs baseline → no annual.

Airalo, Holafly, and Nomad on the scorecard

Airalo only “passes” “saily” hype if the internal KPI rises with a day-14 screenshot.

Holafly shows near “best travel esim”; measure the same KPI, not marketing demos.

Keep Nomad as control: noisy lift freezes the shortlist.
