Category breakdown for Algeria.
Coverage
Airalo wins the coverage category for Algeria with a score of 9.7/10. Airalo connects to Mobilis and Ooredoo DZ in Algeria, part of a 2-network partner roster. Algeria operates on 4G LTE technology. Airalo scores slightly higher on raw country count but routes through the same carriers in Algeria. For in-country coverage quality, both providers are effectively identical — the 9.7/10 score reflects network infrastructure strength, not provider-specific coverage gaps.
Pricing
Airalo wins the pricing category for Algeria with a score of 8.6/10. Plans for Algeria start at $1.23/GB through Airalo, competitive with regional pricing benchmarks. Available tiers: 1GB: $3.55, 3GB: $7.35, 5GB: $12.29, 10GB: $18.49, 20GB: $34.99. Unlimited daily plans are available from approximately $5.99/day. Pricing scores are adjusted for local market conditions — the 8.6/10 reflects both absolute plan cost and per-GB efficiency relative to Algeria's infrastructure tier. Competing providers offer alternative pricing tiers but trail the leader on per-GB value in this market.
Speed
Airalo wins the speed category for Algeria with a score of 9.0/10. Algeria operates on 4G LTE technology. Speed performance tracks the local carrier infrastructure. Speed scores reflect median throughput across peak and off-peak test windows, not peak values. All five providers route through the same local carriers, so speed differences come from network selection and optimization rather than exclusive infrastructure.
App
Airalo wins the app category for Algeria with a score of 8.7/10. It leads on activation flow, UX polish, and feature depth. Saily receives an App boost in Algeria due to its built-in DNS threat blocking, which functions without a traditional VPN connection. Providers with mandatory manual APN configuration or clunky reset flows score lower in this category.

Airalo leads on response time and first-contact resolution rate. Emergency services in Algeria are reached at 14/17/1021; this is separate from provider support but relevant context for travelers. Second-tier providers averaged longer response times per ticket, placing them below the leader in this category.
