Airalo scores slightly higher on raw country count but routes through the same carriers in Peru. For in-country coverage quality, both providers are effectively identical — the 9.4/10 score reflects network infrastructure strength, not provider-specific coverage gaps.
Pricing
Airalo wins the pricing category for Peru with a score of 8.2/10. Plans for Peru start at $2.35/GB through Airalo, reflecting the premium data costs in this market. Available tiers: 1GB: $3.99, 3GB: $10.19, 5GB: $16.00, 10GB: $25.11, 20GB: $46.95. Unlimited daily plans are available from approximately $6.98/day. Pricing scores are adjusted for local market conditions — the 8.2/10 reflects both absolute plan cost and per-GB efficiency relative to Peru's infrastructure tier. Competing providers offer alternative pricing tiers but trail the leader on per-GB value in this market.
Speed
