How the index is built
- The basket. Single-country, data-only eSIM plans valid for 7 days or longer, from every active provider we list. Regional and global bundles, plans with calls/SMS and pay-as-you-go rates are left out of the per-GB and index figures.
- Like for like. The index only ever compares a plan with itself: its listed price on 1 September 2026 against its price on 1 October 2026. Plans that appeared in between are in the price levels, not in the change — otherwise a new provider joining would look like a price move.
- Equal weights. Plans roll up to a provider within a country, providers to the country, countries to the region and the world. A provider with 10,000 plans counts the same as one with 500; a small country counts the same as a large one.
- Price per GB. Fixed-data plans of 1 GB or more. For each provider we take its median price per GB in the country, then the median across providers. Countries need 10 providers to be listed.
- Typical starter plan. Each provider's cheapest plan of 7+ days & 3GB+ (5GB+ from 15 days, 10GB+ from 180 days) in the country (bundles that cover the country count here), then the median across providers — the same floor our destination pages use for "from $X".
- What we filter out. Plans our outlier checks have flagged, monthly jumps above 50%, plans whose feed flips back and forth between two prices, and — for plans priced in another currency — moves under 2% that are only the exchange rate.
- The index number. 100 = 1 September 2026. Each month the previous value is multiplied by that month's like-for-like change.
- Same numbers for everyone. Affiliate status, paid placements and partner subscriptions are never an input. Prices are list prices before any coupon code.
- Frozen once published. An edition is computed once and stored; it does not change when prices change later.
