A Different Angle on eSIM Plans
Jul 18, 2026 · generated from the live catalog by esimtable's automated pipeline, not a human editorial team · how this works
In this post we examine two aspects of eSIM plans that travelers should know. First, the lowest price per GB is found in Thailand via Airalo at 0.20 USD per GB for a 50 GB, 10 day pass. Second, the most expensive data per GB in our dataset is Bhutan at 161.77 USD per GB. The widest country coverage in the dataset is indicated by the overall catalog of 9909 plans across 215 countries from 192 providers.
Among providers with the lowest per-provider average price per GB, Yesim leads at 4.26 USD per GB, followed by Saily at 5.73 USD per GB, Airalo at 5.96 USD per GB, and ConnectedYou at 6.7 USD per GB. For unlimited data, the cheapest option is Cyprus via Yesim at 1.22 USD per day.
For travelers looking at practical use, note that the cheapest per-GB option may be paired with a limited number of days or data when compared to longer validity plans, so check the specific plan details on the provider page. The leaderboard page at /leaderboard.html can be used to compare providers and plans across countries, including price per GB and unlimited options, to help plan trips with data needs in mind.
