Stop Overpaying forTravel eSIMs

Compare cost per gigabyte at the size you actually need, not the headline price. A $2 plan is usually 1 GB, which works out far more expensive per gigabyte than a mid-size bundle — and running out mid-trip means buying twice. We price every plan per GB so the comparison is like-for-like, and each country page shows the cheapest plan, the best value per GB, and the cheapest unlimited option side by side.

It depends on the destination, which is why a single answer is misleading. We price all 6 providers we track against the same eight benchmark destinations so no provider is measured on markets that happen to suit it — and the winner still changes country by country. The comparison page shows both the overall table and the per-destination breakdown.

No. We are a price comparison site, not a reseller. You buy directly from the provider at their own price — we never mark anything up, and there is no account to create here. We earn an affiliate commission when someone buys through our links, which is disclosed on every page and does not affect how results are ordered.

They are read from the providers' own APIs rather than a manually maintained list, and refresh through the day. That means a plan showing as unavailable is genuinely unavailable rather than something we forgot to update. Promotional pricing moves frequently, so always confirm at checkout.

A digital SIM you install on your phone before travelling, which connects to a local network when you arrive. There is no physical card, no shop queue and usually no registration. Your phone needs to be carrier-unlocked and eSIM-capable — most phones from roughly 2018 onward are. Most travel eSIMs are data-only, so they do not give you a local phone number.

163 destinations, each with a live comparison of every provider stocking it. Some countries are genuinely harder than others — sanctions, state monopolies and government-ordered shutdowns all change the answer — so we publish an availability guide covering where eSIMs work normally, where they work with caveats, and where you should plan on a local SIM instead.
