Category breakdown for Kosovo.
Coverage
Holafly wins the coverage category for Kosovo with a score of 8.5/10. Holafly connects to IPKO Telecommunications and Vala (Kosovo Telecom) in Kosovo, part of a 2-network partner roster. Kosovo operates on 4G LTE technology. Airalo scores slightly higher on raw country count but routes through the same carriers in Kosovo. For in-country coverage quality, both providers are effectively identical — the 8.5/10 score reflects network infrastructure strength, not provider-specific coverage gaps.
Pricing
Holafly wins the pricing category for Kosovo with a score of 7.7/10. Plans for Kosovo start at $5.99/GB through Holafly, reflecting the premium data costs in this market. Pricing scores are adjusted for local market conditions — the 7.7/10 reflects both absolute plan cost and per-GB efficiency relative to Kosovo's infrastructure tier. Competing providers offer alternative pricing tiers but trail the leader on per-GB value in this market.
Speed
Holafly wins the speed category for Kosovo with a score of 8.5/10. Kosovo 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
Holafly wins the app category for Kosovo with a score of 9.0/10. It leads on activation flow, UX polish, and feature depth. All five providers offer functional apps for Kosovo: QR activation, tethering controls, and top-up support. No VPN restrictions affect the app comparison here. Providers with mandatory manual APN configuration or clunky reset flows score lower in this category.
Support
