Method and sources
Each brand's public prices are read from its own website on a schedule (brands are re-read every few days; reads older than 45 days are left out). This month's reads run 23 Oct to 25 Oct 2026. Inbox eSIM's own prices are its live prices.
For each country and brand we take the cheapest plan with exactly 5 GB that lasts at least 30 days, and the cheapest unlimited or daily-allowance plan for a week. A country counts when at least three brands sell 5 GB there. Prices are in US dollars before any discount code; taxes as the brand shows them.
Inbox eSIM publishes this index and sells eSIMs itself. Its prices are in the tables like every other brand's and are never left out. Every row behind the index, with the date it was read and its source page, is in the CSV download.
