Yesim is a Swiss eSIM app with a pay-as-you-go option and quick support. Robita is a web service for travellers from Uzbekistan with Click payments and cashback. The biggest practical difference may be when your plan starts.

The short answer

Yesim is an app-based eSIM service run by Genesis Group AG in Switzerland. It offers fixed and unlimited plans plus a pay-as-you-go option, where you pay only for the data you use in more than 140 countries. Robita sells data packages and fair-use unlimited plans through its website, with payment in soums via Click, an interface in Uzbek and Russian, and 1% cashback on every order. An important detail: Yesim says a plan's duration starts right after purchase unless you choose 'Activate later', while a Robita plan starts when your phone first connects to a network at your destination.

Last checked September 2026 on the providers' official websites. Features and prices change, so check before buying.

Where Yesim is strong

• Pay-as-you-go. Its international option charges only for data actually used in 140+ countries — useful for trips with many short stops.
• Fast support. Yesim advertises 24/7 help with an average response time of about five minutes.
• Automatic network switching to the strongest available network, including 5G, through 800+ network partners.
• Free hotspot use from your plan's data, plus extras such as virtual numbers.

Where Robita is a better fit

• Your plan waits for your trip. Buy and install at home; days only start counting when the eSIM connects at your destination, so there is no need to remember an 'activate later' option.
• Pay in soums with Click, or by card in USD, and see prices in UZS.
• 1% cashback on every order — not only from referrals.
• No app to download. Buy on the website and install from the QR code on screen or in your email.
• Uzbek and Russian interface and travel guides written for travellers from Uzbekistan.

Which should you choose?

Yesim suits frequent travellers who hop between many countries and like paying only for what they use through an app. Robita suits travellers from Uzbekistan who want to pay in soums, buy without installing an app and get cashback, with a plan that only starts on arrival. Before buying either, check that your phone supports eSIM.
