Methodology

Every price on this site was read from the provider's own public plan page, in US dollars, on the date shown next to it.

Sources

  • Airalo: the public destination pages (airalo.com/<country>-esim). Only plans for the local destination, in stock, in USD.
  • Holafly: the public destination pages; we read the price table. Where the table could not be read (for example the United States and the UAE at the last check), Holafly is left out for that destination.
  • Nomad: the public destination pages; only plans whose coverage is that one destination.
  • Saily: the public destination pages, rendered in a browser because the site refuses plain HTTP clients.

We respect each site's robots.txt and read each page once per refresh.

What gets published

  • A destination appears only when at least two providers and four plans were read.
  • Duplicate plans (same provider, data, days and price) are merged.
  • Sale prices are shown with the regular price struck through, when the provider shows one.

Price per GB

Price ÷ data, for fixed plans only. Rankings and "best price per GB" use plans of 3 GB or more, because 1 GB plans distort the ratio. Unlimited plans are compared per day instead.

Unlimited plans

We quote the provider's own fair-use wording from its plan page. "No limit stated" means we found no number on the page, not that there is none.

What we don't measure

Network speed, coverage, customer service and refund handling. A provider being cheapest is not a claim that it is best.

Freshness
