Compare the full NXTL starter purchase with the named Nomad Italy plans. The second example shows two trips separated by more than a plan's 30-day validity.

The worked comparison uses Nomad's named fixed-data package. Nomad also sells unlimited day plans with a selected daily high-speed allowance. Nomad can reuse an installed profile for eligible add-ons. This comparison concerns the purchase and validity model, not how many times a profile is installed. NXTL estimates use Vodafone's listed Italy rate. Cheapest preference prioritises the lowest-priced available supported network; the network actually used determines your charge. Examples exclude free trials, promotions, usage discounts and reward redemptions for both providers. English/USD storefront. Competitor prices and exchange rates can change.
Prices and calculation
Nomad prices checked 10 September 2026 from the official source listed below. NXTL data estimates use Vodafone at $0.7898 per GB. Neither Tokens nor usage discounts have been deducted from the amounts above.
NXTL amounts use the live site currency service (EUR rate to USD 1.16160200, recorded 2026-09-10 17:05:05 UTC). Converted competitor amounts are equivalents; the original checkout currency is unchanged in the source note. Provider checkout currencies may use different rates.
A plan for this trip—or balance for this trip and the next.
| What matters |
|
|
|---|---|---|
| Paying for data | Measured usage deducted from prepaid balance | Fixed-data plans and unlimited day plans. For Italy, Nomad asks the buyer to choose a daily high-speed allowance; after that allowance, data continues at 512 kbps until it resets 24 hours after activation. |
| Unused trip value | Prepaid balance never expires | Allowance follows the selected plan's validity |
| Dates in the priced example | No expiry date on unused prepaid balance | Named Italy fixed-data plans have 30-day validity |
| Purchase rewards | 5% reward value in Tokens on eligible paid purchases | Nomad Points earned on data-plan purchases |
| Using reward value | Redeem Tokens into prepaid account balance | Redeem Points for discounts at checkout |
NXTL also lets eligible usage unlock a separate discount of up to 10%.
Turn the habit of topping up into value for later.
NXTL's rewards are built around the reason you're here: staying connected. Earn Tokens on eligible purchases, redeem them into prepaid balance, and unlock usage discounts as your eligible usage grows.
5% back in reward value
Eligible paid purchases earn 5% of their value in NXTL Tokens. Redeem earned Tokens into prepaid data balance.
Up to 10% off eligible usage
Your usage level can reduce eligible data charges by 4%, 7% or 10%. It is based on eligible usage over a rolling 30 days, and an earned higher level is held for at least 30 days.
More of what you spend can support your next journey—not just the one you're booking today.
Purchase rewards and usage discounts are separate benefits. Eligibility and redemption rules apply.
For the travel plans that don't fit neatly into one month.
A holiday now, a work trip later.
Keep unused prepaid balance between supported trips. No need to spend it just because the first journey has ended.
An extra border on the itinerary.
Use the same NXTL eSIM and account balance in the next supported destination at its network rates.
A sensible limit for the account.
Set daily, weekly or monthly usage limits in Profile settings, with individual eSIM limits available in the eSIM's own settings.
Planning beyond the first trip?
What happens to NXTL balance between two holidays?
It remains in your account. Unused prepaid balance never expires, so you can use it on your next supported trip without buying a replacement country allowance just to access that balance.
Does Nomad offer rewards too?
Yes. Nomad has Points that can be redeemed at checkout. NXTL offers 5% reward value in Tokens on eligible paid purchases, redeemable into prepaid balance, plus separate eligible usage discounts.
Does Nomad unlimited mean unlimited high-speed data?
No. Nomad's Italy day plan lets the buyer choose a daily amount of high-speed data. After that allocation is used, data continues at 512 kbps until the 24-hour reset. That low-speed fallback may handle basic messaging and light pages, but video, cloud work, large downloads and hotspot-heavy use can become impractical. NXTL does not impose a daily high-speed allowance or post-threshold slow tier.
Can I check my actual route rather than the Italy example?
Yes. Open NXTL Data Pricing to check the countries and network rates for your trip. The Italy examples illustrate specific purchases; your own data charge depends on usage and the networks used.
Start a data balance you can take on more than one journey.
Choose NXTL for your next trip—and keep the same account, reusable eSIM and unspent prepaid value ready for the one after it.
