Cheapest eSIM for Europe

What the cheapest Europe eSIM costs right now

• Smallest ticket price eSIM4Travel, 100 MB for 1 Day at $0.20. Useful for a short hop, rarely the best value per GB.
• Best rate on a large plan Yatelo, 20 GB for 30 Days at $6.99, $0.35 per GB. Buying bigger is almost always cheaper per GB than topping up twice.
• Longest validity MobiMatter, 365 Days on one plan. Long itineraries lose money on short plans that have to be replaced.
• Features across these plans 585 can be topped up, 751 advertise 5G, 1076 allow hotspot use, and 587 are sold as unlimited.

Which is the best eSIM for Europe?

Best depends on the trip, so here are the winners on today's numbers rather than one name. Each line is the first row of a different sort on the 1262 live plans above:

• Best value Yatelo, 20 GB for 30 Days at $6.99: $0.35 per GB across 28 countries.
• Widest coverage MobiMatter, 51 countries on one eSIM, 36 GB for 30 Days at $29.99.
• Best for a long trip MobiMatter, 365 Days on one plan, 40 GB at $39.99.
• Highest daily cap on an unlimited plan Tourist eSIM, 1 Day at $9.21, full speed up to 10 GB a day. Set that daily cap against the fixed plans before you pay for the word unlimited.

A Europe eSIM only earns its keep once you cross a border. If the whole trip stays in one country, the single country plan usually wins, and the next section prices both sides.

Is a Europe eSIM worth it, or is one plan per country cheaper?

This is the comparison that decides the purchase, and nobody publishes it, so here it is from our own catalogue. We price both sides on the same basket: a plan of 5 to 50 GB lasting at least 15 days, which is what a real trip needs. Bulk data pools are excluded from both sides, because nobody buys 500 GB for a fortnight.

That regional figure is Yatelo, 20 GB for 30 Days at $6.99, covering 28 countries. The country figure is the average of the cheapest comparable plan in each of the 52 countries we have prices for in this region.

The averages hide a wide spread, and the spread is where the decision actually lives. The cheapest country in this region is Ukraine at $0.23 per GB on its own plan, well under the regional rate. The dearest is Kosovo at $1.64. If your itinerary leans towards the expensive end, the regional plan is worth more than the averages suggest. If it leans cheap, buy per country.

How many countries does a Europe eSIM actually cover?

There is no standard. Across the 1262 plans on this page the country lists differ enormously, and the name on the plan tells you almost nothing. These are the widest plans each provider currently sells in this region.

The countries below are the ones travellers assume are covered. The share is live: it is the proportion of the 1262 Europe plans in our catalogue that currently include that country.

The non EU trap: the UK, Switzerland and the Balkans

A plan sold as a Europe eSIM is not a plan for the continent of Europe. Most are built on EU roaming agreements, and the countries outside those agreements get added one by one, or left out. The three that catch people are the UK, which left the EU, Switzerland, which was never in it, and the western Balkans.

Turkey is the other one to check. Some providers file it under Europe, some under the Middle East, and some leave it off both. If Istanbul is on your route, read the plan list rather than the plan name.

None of this shows up until you land. The eSIM installs, it works in Paris, and then it goes quiet at the Swiss border. The percentages above are the current state of the plans we track, so you can see how likely a random Europe plan is to include the country you care about.

Are the unlimited Europe plans really unlimited?

That is why unlimited plans carry no price per GB in our table. There is no honest per gigabyte number to print, so we show the daily allowance instead and leave the value verdict blank rather than invent one. At $0.35 per GB from the cheapest fixed plan here, unlimited only pays off if you genuinely burn several gigabytes a day.

How to pick the right Europe plan

Every destination covered by a Europe plan

These 52 destinations are covered by at least one of the plans on this page. No single plan covers them all, so treat this as the list of places worth checking rather than a promise. Several of these plans also reach countries outside the region, which is worth knowing if your trip crosses into one. Each name links to its own price comparison.
