Squeezie eSIM: should you use the Saily promo code?

Squeezie and Saily: what is this partnership?

Since 2024, Squeezie (Lucas Hauchard, 19 million YouTube subscribers) has regularly run segments sponsored by Saily in his videos. The format: he introduces the eSIM service, explains how it works, and shares his promo code SQUEEZIE for -15% off your first order.

Saily is built by Nord Security, the company behind NordVPN and NordPass. That is a big part of the pitch: it ties the credibility of a well-known cybersecurity player to an eSIM service. In practice, the Saily app bundles a VPN, an ad blocker and Wi-Fi protection, which most competitors do not offer.

The partnership is a paid collaboration, clearly labelled as such in the videos. Squeezie earns a commission on sales made through his code. Other French creators have the same kind of deal with Saily: Mcfly et Carlito, Poisson Fécond, Léo TechMaker, LeMondeDeChoi. They all share the same -15% code.

What the Saily eSIM does well

Before we get to the promo code, let us look at what Saily is worth as a service. Several things work in its favour.

✅ Wide coverage: 150+ countries, with local, regional and global plans.

✅ Built-in security: a NordVPN VPN included in the app, handy in countries where some services are blocked (China, Turkey).

✅ Well-built app: 4.8/5 on Google Play (25,000+ reviews). Setup in a few minutes, clear interface.

✅ Tethering: hotspot is allowed with no restrictions on every plan.

✅ Responsive support: live chat available from the app.

Where the Saily eSIM falls short

❌ Higher price per GB than some competitors on small plans. Entry pricing is $3.99 for 1 GB / 7 days, roughly €3.70 per GB. At other providers such as Airalo, voilà or Ubigi, the same volume can start at €0.80 per GB on popular destinations.

❌ Data only: no native calls or texts. Everything goes through WhatsApp, Signal or FaceTime. A US number is available as an add-on ($0.99/month), but it is not a local European number.

❌ Fair use on unlimited: past 2 to 3 GB a day, speeds are throttled. It is not truly unlimited, and that is rarely spelled out in sponsored videos.

❌ Prices shown in dollars: the conversion can surprise you at checkout if you pay in euros.

The SQUEEZIE code (-15%): is it a good deal?

The code works: we tested it on an order in July 2026 and the 15% discount does apply at checkout. But the real question is not "does the code work", it is "is Saily with -15% cheaper than the alternatives without a code".

Take a concrete example: a 5 GB / 30 day plan for Thailand. With Saily you are at about €12.50 ($13.49), so €10.63 with the SQUEEZIE code, which works out to €2.13 per GB. With Airalo, about €10.20 ($11.00) with no code, so €2.04 per GB. With Maya, about €9.50, so €1.90 per GB. Holafly asks €19.00 for unlimited, where price per GB cannot be calculated since the volume is not capped (but is subject to fair use).

Prices checked in July 2026, approximate USD/EUR exchange rate. Other providers offer even lower rates on this destination.

Bottom line: on this destination, Saily with the SQUEEZIE code is competitive, but several providers do better on price per GB, even without a promo code. A -15% code does not always make up for a higher base price.

Saily's edge is elsewhere: the built-in VPN (useful in China or Turkey), unrestricted tethering, and the NordVPN name behind it. If those matter to you, the SQUEEZIE code is a nice bonus. If you just want the cheapest plan, compare first.

The other YouTubers sponsoring Saily

Squeezie's deal is not a one-off. Saily works with several French-speaking creators, all on the same mechanic: a -15% promo code on your first purchase.

Mcfly et Carlito: same discount, same rules. Poisson Fécond: discovery and travel angle. Léo TechMaker: tech and device testing angle. LeMondeDeChoi: travel and lifestyle.

The code is identical whichever creator you come from: -15% on the first purchase. If you have already used a Squeezie code, the Mcfly code will not give you another -15%. Codes do not stack with each other, nor with other Saily promo codes.

What are the alternatives to Saily?

Saily is a solid provider, but the eSIM market is crowded. Depending on your destination and your priorities, other players are worth comparing.

Airalo: the biggest catalogue, 200+ countries, competitive prices on small plans, solid app. voilà: some of the lowest prices per GB on the market, 187 destinations, human support, simple app. Holafly: unlimited data (with fair use), ideal if you use a lot and do not want to watch a quota.

Ubigi: backed by Transatel (NTT), good European coverage and network reliability, but an ageing app. Nomad: clear interface, good prices across Southeast Asia, appealing regional plans. Yesim: calls included on some plans, local number available, less known but complete.

The best habit is still to compare price per GB for your exact destination. A provider can be unbeatable in Japan and expensive in Brazil. That is why we built a comparator that ranks every plan on that metric.

Our verdict

The SQUEEZIE code works and the -15% discount is real. Saily is a serious provider, backed by Nord Security, with a good app and a genuine built-in VPN. If you are heading somewhere a VPN comes in handy (China, Iran, Turkey), Saily with the SQUEEZIE code is a sensible pick.

That said, if your main criterion is price per GB, a -15% code is not always enough to offset a base price higher than some competitors. On popular destinations, other eSIM providers start at €0.80 per GB with no promo code, which is still cheaper than Saily at -15%.

The rat's advice: compare first, click the code second. Not the other way round.
