Prices from the providers’ feeds as of 10 September – 29 October 2026, in your currency where the provider lists one, otherwise converted at a recent exchange rate. Plan counts exclude duplicate offers. Regional plans cover several countries; check the provider’s country list before you buy.
How we compare
We list every plan in the providers’ product feeds for the destination you choose: Airalo, Holafly and Nomad as supplied on 10 September 2026; Orange Travel as supplied on 27 October 2026; Ubigi and Yesim as supplied on 29 October 2026; Ubigi’s prices in British pounds as supplied on 10 September 2026. Prices change often, so always confirm the final price and terms on the provider’s website.
The table opens on plans with at least 1 GB of data, or unlimited data; choose “Any allowance” under Data to see smaller plans too. Plans are sorted by price, lowest first, unless you choose another order. Prices are compared in the currency you choose: where a provider lists its own price in that currency (Orange Travel in euros and US dollars, Ubigi in euros, US dollars and British pounds), we use that price as it is; otherwise the provider’s price (US dollars for Airalo and Nomad, euros for Orange Travel, Ubigi and Yesim) is converted at a recent exchange rate and shown alongside. So the order and the top picks can differ slightly between currencies. Orange Travel’s sale prices are shown until the sale ends, then its regular prices. Holafly does not list prices in its feed, so its plans come last.
Airalo, Holafly, Nomad, Orange Travel, Ubigi and Yesim pay us a commission if you buy through our links. Commission plays no part in the order of the plans or in the top picks.
Regional and global plans are listed under their region, such as Europe or Global; a plan for two regions, such as Asia and Oceania, is listed under both. The feeds don’t say which countries each regional plan covers, so check the coverage list on the provider’s website.
How we choose the top picks
- Lowest price
- The cheapest plan with at least 1 GB of data, or unlimited data.
- Best value per GB
- The lowest price per GB, among plans with a fixed allowance of at least 1 GB.
- Best unlimited plan
- The unlimited-data plan with the lowest price per day of validity.
Picks only use plans with a listed price that are sold for the whole destination and bought once. Plans sold for part of a destination (such as Scotland within the United Kingdom), Ubigi’s monthly and 12-month plans and Holafly’s plans are listed but never picked. When two plans tie, we prefer more data or longer validity, then the providers in alphabetical order.
Check that your phone supports eSIM
Most newer smartphones support eSIM, including recent iPhone, Samsung and Google Pixel models. Check your device settings or manufacturer guidance first.
Check when the plan starts
Some plans start counting days when you install them, others when you first connect abroad. Install before you leave only if the plan starts on first connection.
eSIM plans: common questions
Which currencies are the prices shown in?
Airalo and Nomad list their prices in US dollars, Orange Travel in euros and US dollars, Ubigi in euros, US dollars and British pounds, and Yesim in euros. When a provider lists its price in the currency you choose, we show that price as it is. Otherwise we convert the provider’s price into euros, US dollars or British pounds, whichever you choose, or under “Other” into another currency such as Swiss francs, Australian dollars or Japanese yen, at a recent exchange rate, and show the provider’s own price alongside. You then pay the provider’s price in its currency, so the final amount can differ slightly. Holafly does not provide prices in its current feed, so those results link out to check the latest price.
Does unlimited data always mean unrestricted data?
Not necessarily. An unlimited plan can still have a daily high-speed allowance, reduced speeds or a fair-use policy. Confirm these conditions on the plan page before buying.
When should I install my eSIM?
You can usually install an eSIM before travelling, but activation rules differ. Check whether the validity period starts at installation or when the eSIM first connects to a supported network.
Why doesn’t Holafly show a price?
Holafly’s feed doesn’t include prices. Its plans have unlimited data, and you choose the number of days on Holafly’s website, which shows the price before you pay.
Why use an eSIM instead of roaming?
An eSIM connects your phone without a physical SIM card, so you can set up data before you leave. You choose a data allowance and a validity period that fit your trip, instead of relying on your home network’s roaming charges.
Important
