Round Analysis

Category breakdown for Monaco.

Coverage

HelloRoam wins the coverage category for Monaco with a score of 9.1/10. HelloRoam connects to Monaco Telecom in Monaco, the sole operator. Monaco operates on 5G technology. Airalo scores slightly higher on raw country count but routes through the same carriers in Monaco. 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 Monaco with a score of 9.2/10. Plans for Monaco start at $22.52/GB through HelloRoam, reflecting the premium data costs in this market. Available tiers: 1GB: $30.26, 3GB: $85.74, 5GB: $134.48, 10GB: $245.43, 20GB: $450.47. Unlimited daily plans are available from approximately $53.79/day. Pricing scores are adjusted for local market conditions — the 9.2/10 reflects both absolute plan cost and per-GB efficiency relative to Monaco's infrastructure tier. Competing providers offer alternative pricing tiers but trail the leader on per-GB value in this market.

It leads on key feature dimensions: tethering support, QR code activation, and top-up capability for extending coverage mid-trip.

At $22.52/GB, Monaco offers standard cost-to-data value.
