Network and coverage
Yallo and Lebara 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 scores "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 Yallo to Lebara — 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: Yallo or Lebara?
On today’s data the winner is Lebara with 7 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 Yallo is strong: consistently the best features in relation to price — from CHF 19.90 per month. Anyone who weighs one of these arguments more heavily than the overall score is right to choose Yallo; 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.

How this head-to-head is produced
Alle Zahlen auf dieser Seite kommen aus unserer Tarifdatenbank. Die Tarife werden jede Nacht automatisch von den offiziellen Anbieter-Websites eingelesen; die Angaben geben den Stand vom 6. Oktober 2026 wieder und werden bei jeder Aktualisierung neu berechnet — inklusive Kategoriesieger und Punktestand.
12 criteria worth up to 15 points are available for scoring; in this head-to-head, 11 criteria worth 14 points were sound. Criteria for which a provider states no comparable figures — such as EU roaming without a stated gigabyte amount — are left out of the scoring and marked in the table. Network, entry price and the cheapest plan with unlimited data count double, all other criteria once. Prices count as equivalent if they are less than CHF 1.00 apart, shares up to 5 percentage points of difference; such rows end in a draw. For the network we assess only the stated population coverage — the Sunrise and Salt networks therefore count as equivalent for us, while the Swisscom network leads with 99.8 %.
The top scorer is calculated purely from the criteria above. handy·abo is an offer from MARKTIX AG and is financed through referral commissions. With equivalent offers — almost identical price and scope — we name partner providers first. Where the text speaks of “the cheapest” plan, the genuinely cheapest is always meant, irrespective of any partnership. Details in the Affiliate disclosure.
