The Problem

Travelers consistently overpay for international mobile data, facing carrier roaming fees of $10-15/day or spending hours researching dozens of eSIM providers to find the best deal. The market is fragmented across many providers with different coverage areas, data caps, pricing tiers, and activation requirements, making it nearly impossible to quickly identify the optimal plan for multi-country trips.

Potential Solution

A trip-planning tool where users input their itinerary (countries, dates, data needs) and instantly get ranked eSIM recommendations comparing price, coverage, speed, and user reviews across all major providers. The app manages multiple eSIMs in one dashboard, handles activation timing, alerts users before data caps, and suggests mid-trip plan switches to save money.

Why Now?

eSIM adoption is surging as most modern smartphones now support dual-SIM configurations, yet the eSIM marketplace remains highly fragmented with new providers launching constantly. Travelers are actively seeking alternatives to legacy carrier roaming as international travel rebounds to record levels post-pandemic.

Saily: eSIM Data for Travel

not user friendly at all. Was not clear phone number, data and being able to call/text were each seperate purchase interactions. app also seemed unable to recognize when I was in the region for the package i purchased. i woukd have asked for complete refund but the number is apparently unrefunable even though i never used it.

Saily: eSIM Data for Travel

I have technical problems literally every time I land somewhere. Utterly shambolic.

Airalo: eSIM for travel & data

Good coverage and options Has a pretty wide range of games pans and countries that are covered and set up was fairly painless. Only issue is the switch from one eSIM to the next can have a delay of a couple minutes. This is only an issue when you are attempting to use a text authentication key and need to swap back and forth.
