An Airalo alternative for travel agencies
Airalo is the best-known consumer travel eSIM brand, sold through its app and website in 200+ locations, with a partner arm, Airalo Partners, for affiliates, resellers and API users. Terudo supplies travel data eSIMs only to travel businesses, which resell them to their own travellers under their own name. The core difference for an agency: Airalo's reseller terms ask you to buy only from Airalo and to try not to sell below its recommended price. Terudo has no exclusivity, and you set your price.

- You want a large catalogue with unlimited options and some plans that include voice and text.
- You plan to run a full white-label eSIM shop at scale and have a team to manage the domain, proxy and e-mail setup.
- You only want an affiliate link and a 10% commission, with nothing to manage.
Pick Terudo if

- You set the retail price freely. Our public price is a non-binding recommendation.
- You choose on every order between a commission and a net price you resell yourself, with no minimum or monthly fee.

How reselling works with Airalo
Airalo Partners has three main routes. Affiliates share a link and earn 10% of the final sale, and the traveller buys from Airalo. Resellers buy eSIMs on the Partner Platform and distribute them under their own brand, with prices and payment terms set in a private order form. The published reseller terms add two conditions: buy these services only from Airalo during the term, and use reasonable efforts not to sell below the recommended reselling price.
How it works with Terudo
You pick the mode on each order. In commission mode we sell to your traveller on a checkout page branded for your agency and pay you monthly. In net price mode you buy at your partner rate, shown after sign-in, and resell at the price you choose. Sell from a hosted shop under your name, from your own pages with Elements, through the partner API, or from an AI assistant through our MCP server.
Switching or using both
Terudo asks for no exclusivity and no minimum. If you are bound by Airalo's reseller terms, check your order form before buying elsewhere, since the exclusivity clause runs for the term and ending it without cause takes 90 days' notice. Once you are free to, you can test Terudo on a few files. Sandbox keys let a developer try our API before any real order.
Questions
Does Airalo have a programme for travel agencies?
Yes. Airalo Partners offers an affiliate programme, a reseller platform, a co-branded store, a white-label shop and an API. Reseller prices are set in a private order form and are not published.
Can I sell Airalo eSIMs below the Airalo price?
Airalo's reseller terms let you set your own price but ask you to use reasonable efforts not to charge below the recommended reselling price shown on the Partner Platform. With Terudo, you set the price freely.
Can I use Terudo alongside Airalo?
Terudo asks for no exclusivity. Airalo's reseller terms ask resellers to buy only from Airalo during the term, so check your order form first. If you only use an affiliate link, check which terms you signed.
Whose brand does the traveller see with Terudo?
Your agency's. Your name is on the install e-mail and on the traveller's My eSIM page, and you can sell from a hosted shop under your name.
Is there a minimum volume or a monthly fee with Terudo?
No. There is no volume commitment, no monthly fee, no minimum and no stock. You pay per eSIM sold, and uninstalled eSIMs can be refunded.
Is Terudo a mobile operator like Airalo?
No. Terudo works with several wholesale suppliers, never on an exclusive basis. Airalo's own reseller terms refer to the network providers behind its service.
