Lebara or Sunrise? The direct comparison

The starting position

Lebara and Sunrise both use the Sunrise network (over 99 % of the population). So reception won't change after switching — this duel is decided on price, features and flexibility.

What Lebara stands for: the price and no minimum term. And what Sunrise stands for: included services, service, and bundle discounts.

It's also a duel of two business models. Sunrise sells network plus service — stores across Switzerland, hotline and chat. Lebara mainly sells the price — support online, no stores.

At the entry price, there's CHF 16.95 per month between the two — over a contract term of 24 months, that's a CHF 406.80 difference, in favour of Lebara.

Network and coverage

Lebara and Sunrise use the same network. The Sunrise network covers over 99 % of the population with 4G and is one of the largest 5G networks in the country. In the Connect network test, Sunrise regularly achieves "very good", usually just behind Swisscom.

For the choice, this means: reception, speed and coverage are identical. Anyone switching from one of the two plans to the other won't notice any difference in the network — only on the bill. What it actually looks like at your address is shown by the Coverage check.

Switching from Lebara to Sunrise — and vice versa

The number stays with you in both directions: you request the port from the new provider, who handles the switch with the old one. The order matters — first the check the cancellation and its notice period, then submit the porting request, so the number is not switched off beforehand. Details are in the article on Number portability.

If all you want is a lower price, you do not necessarily have to switch: sometimes a call to your current provider is enough. When switching is worth it anyway is explained in Switch instead of renewing.

Conclusion: Lebara or Sunrise?

On today’s data the winner is Lebara with 6 to 3 out of 14 points. What weighs more heavily: the price and the no minimum term. The entry there costs CHF 12.95 per month, 14 plans are available, unlimited data from CHF 12.95.

What speaks against Lebara: few additional services, top performance classes are sometimes missing. That's exactly where Sunrise is strong: included services, service and bundle discounts — from CHF 29.90 per month. Anyone who weighs one of these arguments more heavily than the overall score is right to choose Sunrise; the table above shows line by line where the difference lies.

And if neither of the two fits: in the Overall comparison all Swiss providers stand side by side, with the same daily prices.
