The eSIM price per GB, region by region
On average, Europe is the cheapest region in the world to get an eSIM, about 6.3 times cheaper per gigabyte than Africa, the priciest.
Average price per GB of each region's well-covered countries (at least 20 plans per country).
Where is an eSIM cheapest (and priciest)?
These rankings keep only well-covered countries (at least 20 competing plans), so the price reflects a real market rather than a single isolated offer.

The eSIM deserts
8 countries have fewer than 10 eSIM plans available: the market there is still too thin for competition to kick in, and the price per GB stays high or rests on a handful of offers.

Methodology
The data comes from the catalogue aggregated by Datadopt, which lists the eSIM plans of dozens of providers. For this measurement on 1 September 2026, we kept 170,286 eligible plans: active, with a fixed data volume (unlimited plans are excluded, as they have no computable price per GB), from 1 to 200 GB, lasting at most 90 days and priced above zero.
A plan's price per gigabyte is its price in euros divided by its volume in GB. A country's price per GB is the best (the lowest) among all the plans that cover it, obtained by cross-referencing the plans with 805,461 country-coverage rows.
The "cheapest" and "priciest" rankings keep only well-covered countries (at least 20 plans). This safeguard prevents a country served by a single offer from skewing the ranking: those thin markets are shown separately in the "eSIM deserts" section. Prices reflect the catalogue on the measurement date and change as providers update their offers.
