Why doesn't EMnify publish pricing and what does that mean for procurement?

As of July 2026, EMnify publishes no rates: no €/MB, no per-SIM fee, not even the currency on its pricing pages. It publishes the plan structures (fixed allowance, pooled, pay-per-use, usage bands), but the final number is quote-only. For a procurement team that means a fair €/MB comparison is impossible on paper: get the EMnify quote and compare it against our published €0.005/MB. If their offer wins for your profile, we'll tell you exactly that.

Is EMnify's platform technically more advanced?

On cloud integration, yes, and we won't argue it: the native AWS Transit Gateway attachment, regional breakouts and the multicloud Data Streamer are first-rate engineering, and their SGP.32 eSIM reached commercial production in 2026. If your architecture is enterprise-grade and AWS-centric, that's a real advantage. For most deployments in Spain what you need is a private APN with your CIDR, static IP, reliable webhooks and someone who picks up the phone: that is exactly what the iot.cards standard offer includes.

Does EMnify cover Spain well?

Yes in roaming terms: its SuperNetwork claims 540+ networks in 180+ countries with 2–3 networks per country. What it does not publish is which specific Spanish networks it uses; it is unconfirmed which of Movistar, Vodafone or Orange are behind it. If your project requires knowing (and proving to your client) which networks the SIM rides on, iot.cards names them: Movistar, Vodafone and Orange, with automatic switching across all three.

Is EMnify's Cloud Connect equivalent to the iot.cards private APN?

Similar goal, different approach. Cloud Connect offers IPsec and native AWS Transit Gateway attachment (also Azure and GCP), with a free OpenVPN option: ideal if your backend already lives in those clouds. The iot.cards private APN gives you a dedicated APN with your own CIDR range and an IPSec or WireGuard tunnel into your VPC or your on-premise network, plus private static IPv4 per SIM. If your destination is pure AWS, Cloud Connect is excellent; if you mix on-premise, SCADA or need addressing control, the dedicated APN fits better.

How do the trials compare?

EMnify's trial is free and good, let's be clear: 3 SIMs shipped anywhere in the world plus prepaid test credit valid 60 days, with VPN, Data Streamer and API included. Our SIM Test Kit costs €15 and includes 5 SIMs with 1 GB and 12 months of validity: you pay something, but you get a year to pilot without the pressure of a 60-day clock. Honest recommendation: if in doubt, run both trials and measure in the field.

What support does each offer and in which language?

EMnify offers three tiers: Standard (business hours), Business (24/7 with 3 to 9 hour response) and Enterprise (24/7 with 1 hour response). Support is in English; it does not advertise Spanish-language support. iot.cards responds with engineers in Seville, in Spanish and English, by phone and email, with a 24/7 SLA on the enterprise tier and technical onboarding from day one.

How should I approach a pilot or a migration between EMnify and iot.cards?

Switching providers means a physical SIM swap (or an eUICC profile change if your hardware supports it), so size things before mass deployment. Our advice: get the EMnify quote, run their 3 free SIMs and our €15 kit in parallel on 5-10% of the fleet, and compare real coverage at your locations, latency to your backend and total cost with actual numbers on the table. If with the EMnify quote in front of us the result favors them, we'll tell you honestly.

Commercial comparison

EMnify vs iot.cards

How to choose between EMnify's cloud-native platform and the iot.cards multi-carrier IoT SIM. Not a brand war: EMnify has excellent network engineering and iot.cards a transparent model built for deploying in Spain. We explain when each one fits, without half-truths.

Quick summary

EMnify is a solid choice if your fleet is enterprise-grade, lives on AWS and you want native VPC integration, regional breakout and SGP.32 programmable eSIM: it is the best-reviewed platform in the segment (4.9/5 on G2). Its weak point is commercial opacity: it does not publish rates (Jul 2026); pricing is quote-only. iot.cards is the reasonable choice if you want published rates (from €0.005/MB), the three Spanish networks named (Movistar, Vodafone, Orange), Spanish-language engineering support and a relationship that doesn't start with "talk to sales".

Side-by-side feature comparison

Two serious platforms with opposite commercial philosophies: one sells by quote, the other publishes its rates.

	EMnify	iot.cards
Commercial model	Does not publish rates (Jul 2026): no €/MB, no per-SIM fee, not even a currency. Plan structures are public (fixed allowance, pooled, pay-per-use, in 1–50 MB, 50 MB–1 GB and >1 GB bands). Pricing by quote.	Published rates: pay-as-you-go from €0.005/MB at low usage and €1.50/GB at high usage, plus a published monthly fee. No lock-in.
Coverage in Spain	Multi-IMSI roaming in Spain, but it does not publish which national networks it uses (Movistar/Vodafone/Orange unconfirmed).	Movistar, Vodafone and Orange named, with automatic switching across all three networks.
Global coverage	540+ networks in 180+ countries ("SuperNetwork", 2–3 networks per country), with its own cloud-native core on AWS and a satellite/NTN add-on.	190+ countries and 750+ networks via multi-IMSI.
Cloud integration / private APN	Excellent: Cloud Connect with IPsec and native AWS Transit Gateway attachment (also Azure/GCP), a free OpenVPN option and regional breakouts.	Dedicated private APN with your CIDR range + IPSec/WireGuard tunnel into your VPC or your on-premise network, with private static IPv4 per SIM.
eSIM / eUICC	SGP.32 programmable eSIM commercially live since ~March 2026, consumer eSIM and all form factors including MFF2.	eUICC eSIM SGP.02 and SGP.32 with remote profile management.
API and integration	REST API, SDKs and multicloud Data Streamer to export usage data in real time.	Documented REST API with HMAC-signed webhooks and ICCID idempotency.
Try before you buy	3 free SIMs shipped worldwide + prepaid test credit valid 60 days, with VPN, Data Streamer and API included.	SIM Test Kit for €15: 5 SIMs with 1 GB and 12 months of validity to pilot without rushing.
Technical support	Three tiers: Standard (business hours), Business (24/7, 3–9 h response) and Enterprise (24/7, 1 h). In English; no Spanish-language support advertised.	Engineering team in Seville, in Spanish and English, by phone and email, with 24/7 SLA on enterprise.
Reviews and track record	4.9/5 on G2 (92 reviews), the best in the segment. User criticisms are minor; the substantive objection is pricing opacity.	Operating M2M SIMs in Spain since 2013 (EasyM2M, today Kore Logic SL), with published rates from day one.
Billing	EU entity (EMnify GmbH, Berlin) with EUR billing: convenient for Spanish buyers. The amount, by quote.	Monthly EUR invoice for actual pooled consumption, with rates known upfront.
