Our verdict: Digital Republic or swype?

Digital Republic is cheaper at entry level and already includes roaming data and unlimited Swiss calls in its base plan. The swype entry plan Surf is a data plan with a limited number of minutes and no roaming. In return, everything at swype runs through the app, you pay in advance by TWINT or card and never receive an invoice. If you want calls and roaming included in the price, Digital Republic is the better fit. If you like app handling and paying in advance, swype is your provider. Both run on the Sunrise network with 5G and are cancellable monthly. On customer satisfaction, however, the gap is wide, see the Peer Score above.
