The numbers

Head to head

Green marks the better figure on each row. Where they match, neither is marked. Nothing here is weighted or scored: these are the published figures side by side.

Average per GB is computed only over plans where a per-gigabyte figure is derivable, so a catalogue full of unlimited plans is not flattered by counting zeroes. Price accuracy is measured from our own outbound clicks rather than taken from either provider: 2 sampled clicks for LotsoTravel and 1 sampled click for Roamix. A perfect score from a hundred clicks is a weaker claim than one from four hundred, so the counts travel with it, and a provider nobody has clicked through yet has no score at all rather than a flattering default.

Same size, both providers

What each actually charges

Aggregates tell you about a catalogue. These are real plans at matching allowances, the same validity window and the same breadth of coverage, which is what you would actually be choosing between.

3 GB 15 days · 1 country £3.67 £1.23 per GB Buy → £3.08 £1.03 per GB Buy → 16% cheaper
15 GB 5 days · 1 country £8.07 £0.54 per GB Buy → £10.31 £0.69 per GB Buy → 22% cheaper
50 GB 10 days · 1 country £19.07 £0.38 per GB Buy → £13.68 £0.27 per GB Buy → 28% cheaper
150 GB 30 days · 1 country £27.88 £0.18 per GB Buy → £73.50 £0.49 per GB Buy → 62% cheaper

Each row pairs plans with the same allowance, the same validity window and the same number of countries, so neither side is penalised for covering more. The Buy links go to each provider's cheapest live plan rather than to the plan on that row: we only link to a plan we can track, and their own checkout is always authoritative.

Like for like

Where they overlap

The comparison that means something: the same market, both providers, cheapest gigabyte each. An average across different countries is not a like-for-like number.

Which to pick

When each one is the right buy

Every reason below is drawn from a figure in the table above, so none of them outlives the fact behind it.

Pick LotsoTravel if
  • Your destination is one of the 29 shared markets they are cheaper in
  • Price per gigabyte is what you are optimising for: £2.79 typical against £3.76
  • You want the cheapest gigabyte on the page: £0.18 against £0.27
  • You are going to one of the 8 markets Roamix does not reach
Pick Roamix if
  • Your destination is the 1 shared market they are cheaper in
  • You want the lowest entry price: their cheapest plan is £0.62 against £3.66
  • You want 5G, advertised on 84% of their plans and on none of LotsoTravel's
  • You need a validity window longer than 30 days
  • You are going to one of the 10 markets LotsoTravel does not reach
  • You would rather choose from a deep catalogue than a short one

Or neither of them

This page compares two providers because you asked for two. Roamix is the 17 cheapest of the 23 catalogues we read, and on plenty of trips the right answer is a third provider entirely. The destination page for wherever you are going ranks every provider selling there on the same figures used above.

We earn a commission on some outbound links. Which provider comes out ahead on any row above is computed from their published prices, not from what either pays us, and no payout figure is available to the code that ranks plans.
