Methodology
- Prices are the exact USD amounts customers pay at checkout on triposim.com, read from the live catalog (refreshed hourly).
- Price per GB = plan price ÷ data allowance, for fixed-data plans of 1 GB or more. The median uses every such plan sold for that country; "best" is the lowest.
- Unlimited plans are excluded from per-GB figures because their real allowance depends on a daily fair-use limit (see the fair-use dataset).
- 1 GB, 5 GB and 10 GB columns show the cheapest plan in that size band (1–2 GB, 5–10 GB, 10–20 GB), any validity.
Limitations
- This covers TripoSIM's catalog only, not every eSIM provider. Other sellers may be cheaper or dearer.
- Prices change as networks and promotions change; check the destination page for the current price before buying.
- Validity differs between plans (7 to 30+ days), which per-GB figures do not adjust for.
