Methodology

How we compare eSIM plans.

Our comparison pages are designed to make plan choice faster without hiding commercial relationships. Rankings are based on plan data, coupon availability, country relevance, and provider quality signals.

Data Sources

Plan data can come from provider APIs, approved scraper runs, admin imports, or manual provider corrections. Scraped and imported data goes through staging before it is published.

  • Provider API first
  • Firecrawl for structured extraction
  • Apify for dynamic provider sites
  • Admin review for suspicious changes

Ranking Signals

Pages can sort by price, price per GB, validity, data amount, provider, hotspot, network label, coupon status, and featured status. Commercial placements should not remove useful cheaper options from comparison pages.

  • Price and price per GB
  • Data amount and validity
  • Coupon and checkout support
  • Provider verification and inventory freshness

AI Use

AI can summarize and recommend from database results, but it must not invent plans, prices, coupons, coverage, or provider facts. The Trip Planner works from the current plan set for the selected destination.
