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.
