Airalo wins the coverage category for Venezuela with a score of 9.7/10. Airalo connects to Movistar Venezuela (Telefonica) and Digitel in Venezuela, part of a 3-network partner roster. Venezuela operates on 4G LTE technology. Airalo scores slightly higher on raw country count but routes through the same carriers in Venezuela. 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 scores are adjusted for local market conditions — the 8.2/10 reflects both absolute plan cost and per-GB efficiency relative to Venezuela's infrastructure tier.
