Pros and cons
ESIMITY
Pros
- Coverage reaches 205 countries, with regional and global plans to pick from.
- 5G and hotspot sharing are available, so a phone can serve as a hotspot for a laptop or tablet.
- Top-ups are available, so data can be added without buying a new plan.
Cons
- Unlimited data is not offered, so heavy use depends on the allowance you buy.
- The cheapest rate per gigabyte is €2.97, higher than $0.99 suggests elsewhere.
- Support runs on email and help centre only, with no chat or phone option listed.
Jetpac
Pros
- Connections come from Vodafone, AT&T and SoftBank, so a handset already on a major carrier usually settles on the local network fast.
- Bought data carries no fair use policy, so the full allowance keeps working at normal speed.
- Top-ups are available, which suits trips that outlast the bought data, and plans suit short trips and longer stays alike.
Cons
- The price per GB of $2 is above the €1.50 median, so heavy data users pay more than the cheaper sellers.
- The cheapest plan, $5, sits above the €2.87 lower end of the market, so a short trip costs more than it needs to.
- Unlimited plans are not uncapped: a fair use policy gives a daily allowance at standard speed, then slower speeds.
Who each suits
ESIMITY
Who it suits
- Travellers on a multi-country trip who want one eSIM to cover many destinations.
- People who need 5G or want to share data from their phone.
- Buyers who prefer a marketplace with a long list of local and regional sellers.
Who should look elsewhere
- Travellers who need unlimited data for heavy streaming or navigation.
- Price-first buyers who would pick eSIMGo.is on its lower starting price.
- Anyone who wants phone or chat support, since support runs on email and help centre only.
Jetpac
Who it suits
- Travellers crossing several borders who want one global plan rather than a separate eSIM per country.
- People who need hotspot sharing and 5G on the same plan, or who would rather not meter their data at all.
- Budgets that plan around a set data allowance, with top-ups available for whatever the trip uses after that.
Who should look elsewhere
- Not for the smallest budgets: eSIMGo.is starts at $0.99.
- Not for travellers who prefer a carrier's own pass priced in local currency, such as MTN at NGN 5,000.
- Not for anyone who needs unlimited data with no fair use limit, because a fair use policy slows speeds after a daily allowance.

Questions about each
ESIMITY
How much does an ESIMITY eSIM cost?+
Plans start at €1.97, and the lowest price per gigabyte is €2.97. Destination matters: reference plan prices start lower for Europe and the UK, and higher for Japan, so where you are going shapes what you pay.
Which countries does ESIMITY cover?+
Coverage spans 205 countries, with both regional and global plans listed. You can pick a regional plan for a single trip area or a global plan when the route crosses several regions.
Jetpac
How much does a Jetpac eSIM cost?+
Plans start at $5 and the price per GB begins at $2. Europe's larger data tier is $22, the US tier is $19 and Japan is $16. Unlimited plans sit above those prices but spare you from topping up mid-trip.
Is Jetpac's unlimited data really unlimited?+
Unlimited data is offered, but a fair use policy applies. Bought data has no fair use limit at all, while unlimited plans give a set daily allowance at standard speed and then drop to a much lower speed. Heavy streaming after that allowance is spent is where the difference shows.
