Most expensive countries Only countries with enough supply to say something general: every basket item needs at least three providers. A single expensive listing does not put a country on this list.

How to read this index

Four columns, that is all. Every price is in EUR.

Available from

The lowest price in that country. This is the leading figure: what you pay if you pick the cheapest option.

Typical price

The middle of the market: every provider's cheapest plan, and then the middle amount. A wide gap means shopping around pays off.

vs. average

How far the from-price sits above or below an average country. Minus 60 percent means a traveller pays roughly 60 percent less there.

Providers

How many providers have supply there. At 1 or 2 the price is a single listing, not a market.

The overall index

One figure per destination, so you can rank them without picking a category first. Every country is charged for the same basket, with the sizes travellers buy most weighing heaviest.

How it is weighted
  • 4 10 GB
  • 3 Best price per GB
  • 2 5 GB
  • 2 Unlimited, 3 GB/day
  • 1 1 GB

Each item is compared with the world median and the ratios are combined, the way a statistics office builds a price index. 100 is an average country. 194 countries are ranked. The rest either lack one of the basket items, or have fewer than three providers for one of them.

What is in here
eSIMs aimed at travellers, bought online before you leave. Tourist packages from local providers count too. An ordinary local contract or a prepaid card from a shop on arrival does not.
Prices without a discount
These are list prices, without any discount. At many providers a discount code through Find Your eSIM brings the price lower. Read these figures as a ceiling, not as the best deal.

Method

Every one of the 169,049 packages the providers we compare offer is searched. Packages that fit none of the categories below simply do not end up in a figure. This is not the entire market. Measured on 7 September 2026.

What this is and is not about

The index covers products aimed at travellers: eSIM packages bought online in advance. That includes packages from local providers who sell to tourists, so it is not purely about international roaming. What it excludes is the ordinary domestic market: local contracts, prepaid cards you buy in a shop after arriving, and business IoT tariffs.

What counts

How a country's price is decided

Per country and category we take each provider's cheapest matching plan. The lowest of those is the from-price, the figure the page leads with. The median of them is the typical price, which sits next to it as a check: it cannot be moved by one provider running a stunt price.

The index number is the from-price divided by the median of all countries' from-prices in the same category, times 100. Numerator and denominator measure the same thing, so a country at 200 really is twice as expensive to buy into as a middling one.

What the index is not

Countries with few providers are simply listed, with the provider count next to them, so you can judge how solid a figure is. Where no plan exists at all the row stays empty; we fill in nothing there. The index says something about prices, not about coverage, speed or network quality.
