eSIMPlanet is the leading eSIM comparison platform for travelers. We list plans from 20+ eSIM providers (Airalo, Saily, Holafly, Nomad, Ubigi, Sim Local…) covering 200+ destinations worldwide. Whether you're heading to Japan, the United States, Thailand, Morocco or Europe, our tool instantly compares prices, network coverage and data options to help you pick the right plan for your trip.
Unlike a physical SIM card that you need to buy at the airport or a local shop, an eSIM (embedded SIM) installs directly on your compatible smartphone by scanning a QR code. No queues, no card swapping: you're connected as soon as you land. All recent iPhones (XS and later), Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel and many other devices support eSIM.

Why Compare eSIM Plans Before Traveling?
Price differences between eSIM providers can reach 50% for the same destination and data volume. By comparing on eSIMPlanet, you identify active promo codes, the cheapest unlimited plans and providers connected to the best local networks (4G/5G). Our data is updated daily to reflect real pricing.
How to choose your eSIM plan with an eSIM comparator?
Using an eSIM comparator before you leave helps you pick the plan that best fits your needs: length of stay, data volume (a few GB for GPS and messaging or unlimited for remote work and sharing), and local network quality. Some eSIMs favour a single local operator (e.g. NTT Docomo in Japan), others aggregate several networks for maximum coverage. Our eSIM comparator shows this information and user reviews for each offer.
Also consider validity: a 7-day eSIM suits a short trip, while a 30-day or longer eSIM is ideal for a road trip or multiple countries. By comparing price per GB or unlimited plans, you avoid bad surprises and roaming charges from your home operator. The eSIMPlanet comparator updates prices and promos (discount codes, sales) so you get the best deals.
Compare eSIM providers: Airalo, Holafly, Saily and more
Leading travel eSIM providers (Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi, Sim Local, Yesim, etc.) offer different price lists and coverage areas. An eSIM comparator like ours lets you see at a glance which provider is cheapest for Japan, the USA, Thailand, Europe or South America, and which plans include calls or data only. We also list verified reviews and promo codes for each provider.
The "best" eSIM provider can vary by destination: some excel in Asia, others in Europe or the Americas. Using our eSIM comparator to compare offers by country or region helps you choose with full knowledge; you can also check our dedicated provider pages for detailed pricing and reviews.

eSIM vs physical SIM and roaming: why compare eSIMs?
A traditional physical SIM means a trip to a shop or the airport, removing the nano-SIM from your phone and dealing with a local number you often don't need for a short stay. An eSIM activates remotely: you receive a QR code by email, scan it, select the plan on your smartphone and you're connected on arrival. No need to hunt for a shop at the airport. Comparing eSIMs in advance lets you book the right plan at the best price before you go.
Roaming from your home operator often remains expensive and limited on data. A travel eSIM bought via a comparator is usually much cheaper for using data abroad, with 5 GB, 10 GB or unlimited plans depending on destination. You keep your home number for calls and SMS and use the eSIM for data: the simplest and most cost-effective way to stay connected when travelling.
Popular destinations: compare eSIMs by country
Some destinations are especially popular: Japan, United States, Thailand, Spain, Italy, Morocco, Canada, Australia, Mexico, Portugal… Prices and providers vary for each. Our eSIM comparator lets you filter by country (or region, e.g. Europe, Asia, North America) and see plans from cheapest to most expensive, including unlimited offers, 30-day plans and applicable promo codes.
Whether you're on holiday, a business trip or a world tour, comparing eSIMs for your destination ensures good value and reliable connectivity. Check our destinations page to explore all covered countries and find the right eSIM for your trip. All our eSIM destinations
