Round Analysis

Category breakdown for French Guiana.

Coverage

HelloRoam wins the coverage category for French Guiana with a score of 9.1/10. HelloRoam connects to Orange GF and Digicel in French Guiana, the sole operator. French Guiana operates on 5G technology. Airalo scores slightly higher on raw country count but routes through the same carriers in French Guiana. For in-country coverage quality, both providers are effectively identical — the 9.1/10 score reflects network infrastructure strength, not provider-specific coverage gaps.

Pricing

HelloRoam wins the pricing category for French Guiana with a score of 9.7/10. Plans for French Guiana start at $0.90/GB through HelloRoam, one of the lowest per-GB rates globally. Available tiers: 1GB: $1.57, 3GB: $2.88, 5GB: $5.68, 10GB: $9.34, 20GB: $17.99. Unlimited daily plans are available from approximately $1.82/day. Pricing scores are adjusted for local market conditions — the 9.7/10 reflects both absolute plan cost and per-GB efficiency relative to French Guiana's infrastructure tier. Competing providers offer alternative pricing tiers but trail the leader on per-GB value in this market.
