All guides →How to read our tables
Each country page has two tables. The first is unlimited data by trip length — Airalo and Holafly side by side, with the cheapest option for each duration highlighted. The second is capped-data plans from Saily, which are far cheaper if you only need maps and messaging.
From those we flag a few picks: cheapest for a short trip, best for a week, best for two weeks, cheapest for a month. They're mechanical — price only. Read the provider reviews and each country's coverage notes for the rest, and how we rank for the full method.
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you buy an eSIM after clicking one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. It never changes our rankings — those are based on price and coverage data only.
