The starting position
Yallo is the budget brand of Sunrise — both operate on the identical Sunrise network. The network question is thus settled before the duel begins: comparing here means not comparing reception quality, but price, included services and service model.
What Sunrise stands for: included services, service, and bundle discounts. And what Yallo stands for: consistently the best equipment relative to the price. The question, therefore, is whether Sunrise's additional services are worth the surcharge on the same network.
It's also a duel of two business models. Sunrise sells network plus service — stores across Switzerland, hotline and chat. Yallo mainly sells the price — support online and via hotline, no own stores.
At the entry price, CHF 10.00 per month separates the two — over a contract term of 24 months, that's a CHF 240.00 difference, in favour of Yallo.

Network and coverage
Yallo 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 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 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.
A special case: Yallo is Sunrise's budget brand. Switching within the group is technically straightforward, but it isn't automatically treated as loyalty — new-customer discounts generally only apply to genuinely new subscribers.
Conclusion: Yallo or Sunrise?
On today’s data the winner is Yallo with 7 to 3 out of 14 points. What tips the scales: the consistently best value for money. Entry there costs CHF 19.90 per month, 18 plans are available, unlimited data from CHF 19.90.
The case against Yallo: no particularly low entry price, Europe plans with a 24-month commitment. That's exactly where Sunrise excels: included services, service quality and bundle discounts — from CHF 29.90 per month. Anyone who weighs one of these arguments higher than the overall score is right to choose Sunrise; the table above shows row by row 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.
