Every eSIM Provider Matchup Compared on Real Prices
Every provider pair we track, one page per matchup. Verdicts are not opinions: for each shared country we compare the cheapest plans head-to-head and count who wins — the same dated prices that power every table on this site.
One page per pair, one verdict per page: every matchup below is computed from the same dated price snapshot, country by country, with no editorial adjustment. Each verdict counts where each provider actually has the cheaper plans — start from the pair you are weighing, or open a provider review for the fuller picture.

Each verdict counts the countries where both providers sell plans, comparing each one's cheapest plan (and separately its best $/GB) from the same dated snapshot. Reversed queries land on the same page — one URL per matchup, no near-duplicates.
Brand scoreboard
Which provider wins the most head-to-heads
Across all 45 matchups, 10 brands ranked by the countries they win. Every figure is a direct count from the country-by-country comparisons — nothing is weighted and no brand is adjusted for commission.

“Countries won” counts country-by-country wins across a brand's matchups: the same country is counted once for each rival it beats there, so this is a pairwise tally, not a count of distinct countries.
Ties count on both sides, so won + lost + tied equals the countries compared. A brand with no shared country against any rival does not appear.

Questions about this index
How is each matchup decided?
Country by country. For every destination where both providers sell a plan, we compare the cheapest plan each one offers there and record who is cheaper; the provider that wins more countries wins the matchup. Every head-to-head we track has its own page so you can check the destination you are actually flying to.
What does “cheaper entry” actually mean?
The cheapest plan each provider sells in that country — often a small 1 GB starter rather than the plan a traveller would really buy. That is exactly why the full country-by-country table lives on each matchup page: open the country you are going to and the gap for your destination is there.
How often are these results updated?
Every figure comes from the dated price snapshot shown on the matchup page itself. When a plan changes the page is recomputed; when nothing changed the date deliberately stays put, because a date that moves on every deploy carries no information.
Are providers ranked by who pays you the most?
No. Commission never enters the sort: every verdict is a literal price comparison, and this index lists every matchup we track whether or not the provider pays. Our methodology and disclosure pages spell out how the site is funded.
