### Which plan size is the best value per GB?

### Is a regional eSIM cheaper per GB than country plans?

In the regions compared, plans made for a single country are cheaper per GB than regional plans. A regional plan pays off mainly when you visit several countries.

### How is the price index calculated?

For each destination we take its plans made for that country alone with a fixed allowance of 1 GB or more (unlimited and per-day plans are left out), divide each plan's price by its data, and use the median. Destinations with fewer than three such plans are not ranked. Prices are eSimNest plan prices in US dollars. The index is recalculated with every catalogue refresh.
