Pros and cons
Kyivstar
Pros
- Kyivstar sells as a network (network), so the SIM only deal comes straight from the operator rather than a reseller.
- Contract length is 1 month, a short commitment next to a long fixed contract.
- An unlimited option exists in SuperGig Light eSIM, prepaid at UAH 400 for anyone tired of counting data.
Cons
- European roaming runs on fair use terms, so frequent travel is not covered outright.
- Plans run in UA only, so readers based in another market would be looking at the wrong operator.
- Billing is limited to contract and prepaid, with no rolling monthly option for people who like to cancel freely.
Proximus
Pros
- No commitment: plans run on 1 month terms, so nothing runs past a single billing cycle.
- EU roaming is included in the plan, with 27 countries covered.
- 5G and eSIM are both available, and a multi line discount applies to extra lines.
Cons
- Entry at €14.99 is above the €9.30 median, and rank 215 of 258 on price from.
- The unlimited option at €34.99 ranks 134 of 173, higher than the €23.19 median.
- Billing covers rolling and prepaid rather than a contract, which rules it out for anyone relying on an instalment-style contract term.
Who each suits
Kyivstar
Who it suits
- People living in UA who want the network's own SIM only line with eSIM support.
- Buyers happy to cap their data and pay less, since entry pricing starts at UAH 220 on a contract plan.
- Customers who like several routes to help, offered through chat, phone and help centre.
Who should look elsewhere
- yesss!, if you want a rolling billing option, since yesss! lists contract, rolling and prepaid while Kyivstar bills on contract and prepaid terms.
- Lonestar Cell MTN, if the entry figure decides it, since its entry price is $0.20 against Kyivstar's UAH 220.
- GETESA, if you want a second prepaid and contract pair to weigh, since GETESA lists prepaid and contract while Kyivstar serves UA only.
Proximus
Who it suits
- People living in Belgium who want a network operator rather than a reseller
- Households wanting several lines under one multi line discount
- Travellers within the EU who value included roaming on a 1 month term
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone outside BE, where the plans do not run
- Buyers chasing the lowest entry price, since €14.99 beats the €9.30 median
- People who want a long fixed term rather than rolling and prepaid billing

Questions about each
Kyivstar
What does the entry plan cost?+
The entry plan is VSE RAZOM Comfort at UAH 220, sold on a contract basis. The range also lists VSE RAZOM Legkyi Contract as a larger contract plan. Because Kyivstar is a network seller rather than a reseller, these are the operator's own tariffs, so the figure quoted is the network's own.
Is there a plan with unlimited data?+
Yes. SuperGig Light eSIM is a prepaid plan priced at UAH 400 with unlimited data, and it is the only unlimited option listed. The other two plans, VSE RAZOM Comfort and VSE RAZOM Legkyi Contract, come with a data allowance instead, which is where the lower UAH 220 entry point sits.
Proximus
What does the cheapest Proximus plan cost?+
The entry plan starts at €14.99 a month. That is a rolling price with no introductory discount that later expires, and no contract to serve. Across the wider market the median starting price is €9.30, so this sits above the middle.
How much is the unlimited plan?+
The unlimited option costs €34.99 a month. The market median for unlimited plans is €23.19, with an upper quartile of €32.45. There is a middle tier priced between the entry plan and the unlimited option.
