eSIM guide

The best travel eSIM for Europe

Regional Europe plans are the best value in eSIM, because one plan covers a whole trip. Check the country count before you buy, though — the plans marketed as “Europe” cover between 33 and 48 countries depending on who's selling.

What a 10GB month costs in Europe

Ubigi$15 cheapest
Nomad$23
Airalo$31

Holaflyno fixed-data plans

Holafly sells no fixed-data plans anywhere — its 30-day unlimited plan is $73.90, which is a different product and so is not plotted on the same scale.

Our pick for Europe

Ubigi

Ubigi's 10GB for 30 days at $15 undercuts Nomad ($23), Airalo ($31) and Saily ($35.99) by a wide margin, and its 38-country footprint beats Holafly's 33. For a long multi-country trip, Nomad's 50GB at $35 is the standout.
