3. "Unlimited" plans with a daily cap: price, daily cap, speed after the cap and cost per high-speed GB.

Value score (0-100)

• Price (60%): 100 for the lowest price, proportional for the rest.
• No daily cap (40%): 100 with no published daily cap; with a cap: 70 (5 Mbps+), 50 (1-5 Mbps or not stated), 25 (under 1 Mbps), +10 if the cap is 5 GB/day or more.

Sources for daily caps

• VoaSim: 100% unlimited, no daily cap and no throttling. "Internet 100% ilimitada. Sem franquia, sem velocidade reduzida, sem trocar seu chip." source (Oct 12, 2026)
• Holafly: publishes no daily cap; says the operator may reduce speed for up to one day (fair use) and limits hotspot to 1 GB/day. "Some operators have a Fair Usage Policy (FUP) that may reduce speeds after you reach a certain high-speed data limit" source (Oct 12, 2026)
• Airalo: 3 GB/day of high-speed data (default; may vary by package), then 1 Mbps for the rest of the 24 h. "when you use more than 3GB in a day, we'll slow down (or "throttle") your internet speed to 1 Mbps for the rest of that day" source (Oct 12, 2026)
• Nomad: 2 GB/day of high-speed data on most plans, then about 1 or 2 Mbps. "the term "Unlimited" is subject to specific daily high-speed data constraints and subsequent speed reductions" source (Oct 12, 2026)
