Best eSIM for the Netherlands in 2026: 7 Providers Compared (Real Prices)

Amsterdam comes up constantly on my Europe beat — readers heading over for a weekend, a work trip, or a longer stint cycling around the canals all want the same thing: which eSIM actually works out cheapest for the Netherlands specifically, not a vague "Europe" number that doesn't match what you'll pay at checkout. We checked live pricing across 123 providers we track for the Netherlands and the spread is bigger than you'd expect for a country this well-connected.

The quick answer

• Cheapest possible entry point: Yoho Mobile's 1GB/7-day plan at $1.16 — genuinely one of the cheapest starter tiers of any country we cover.
• Best pay-as-you-go option: Bcengi at around $1.19 per GB, no expiry, if you don't want to commit to a bundle at all.
• Cheapest unlimited data for a full month: Ubigi at $44.00, just ahead of Maya Mobile's $49.99.
• Cheapest unlimited data for a week: Ubigi and Maya Mobile are within a dollar of each other — $19.00 versus $19.99.
• Best mid-size bundle: Ubigi's 50GB/30-day plan at $33.00, well under Virgin Connect's equivalent at $39.50.

What you'll actually pay: seven providers compared

Yoho Mobile

Yoho is the standout on price for anyone who doesn't need much data. Its 1GB/7-day plan is $1.16 — cheaper than what some providers charge just for the cheapest option elsewhere in Europe. The rest of the lineup keeps the trend: 3GB for 30 days is $2.25, 5GB is $3.57, 10GB is $5.94, and 20GB is $10.48. There's no unlimited tier, so it's built for people who know roughly how much data they'll use and don't want to overpay for headroom they won't touch.

Virgin Connect

Virgin Connect covers the widest range of any provider here, from 1GB/7-days at $3.00 up to a genuinely large 100GB/30-days at $75.50. The mid-tier pricing is competitive too — 10GB for 30 days is $10.50, 20GB is $17.50 — though it's not the cheapest at any single tier once Yoho Mobile and Ubigi are in the comparison.

eSIMo

eSIMo's five fixed tiers (1GB/7d through 20GB/30d) sit consistently in the middle of the pack: $3.90, $10.90, $9.90, $14.90, $24.90. Nothing here is a standout price, but the lineup is simple and predictable if you'd rather not compare seven providers every time you travel. Real discount code active:

Orbit Mobile

Orbit Mobile's 10GB/30-day plan at $10.50 closely matches Virgin Connect's price for the same tier, and its 1GB/30-day entry tier at $3.50 gives you a full month of validity instead of the 7-day window most cheap starter plans use elsewhere. Worth a look if you want the low end of the market without the short expiry.

Ubigi

This is the one to check first if data volume matters more than the absolute cheapest sticker price. Ubigi's fixed tiers are aggressive — 25GB for 30 days is $19.00, 50GB is $33.00 — and its unlimited pricing undercuts everyone else we track here: $19.00 for a week, $29.00 for 15 days, $44.00 for a full month. It also sells a 10GB/7-day plan at $9.00, useful for a short, data-heavy trip without committing to a full month. Real discount code active:

Maya Mobile

Maya charges its usual flat global rate everywhere it operates: $9.99 for 3 days, $19.99 for 7 days, $27.99 for 14 days, $49.99 for 30 days. For the Netherlands specifically, it's nearly tied with Ubigi on the weekly unlimited price and only a few dollars behind on the monthly — solid if you're passing through the Netherlands as one stop on a wider European trip and don't want a separate eSIM for each country.

Bcengi

Bcengi doesn't sell bundles at all — you pay around $1.19 per GB actually used, and the balance never expires. There's no expiry date to plan around and no wasted allowance if your trip runs shorter than expected, which makes it a genuinely different option from the other six rather than just another price point.

Why the prices are all over the place

Same pattern I see everywhere in Europe: providers pricing the same underlying network access very differently depending on their business model. Maya Mobile charges one flat global rate regardless of destination, which is exactly why it's competitive here without being Netherlands-specific at all. Ubigi and Yoho Mobile both price per-GB aggressively — Yoho especially so at the low end, Ubigi especially so once you need real volume. Virgin Connect and eSIMo sit closer to a conventional middle-of-the-market rate. Bcengi is the outlier structurally, not just on price: it's the only one here where you're never locked into a bundle size at all.

My usual advice holds here too: work out roughly how much data your trip actually needs before picking a plan. Most short visits to the Netherlands — checking maps, messaging, some social media over a long weekend — use well under 5GB, and at that size Yoho Mobile and Ubigi both undercut the "just get unlimited to be safe" instinct by a wide margin.

How to pick based on your trip

A weekend in Amsterdam: Yoho Mobile's 1GB/7-day plan at $1.16 covers the basics without paying for a week of unlimited you won't use.

A week cycling around the country: Ubigi's 7-day unlimited at $19.00 or Maya's 7-day at $19.99 are both excellent value — pick Maya if you're continuing to another country afterward, Ubigi if the Netherlands is the whole trip.

A full month, fixed data is enough: Ubigi's 25GB/30-day plan at $19.00 comfortably covers heavy daily use without paying for unlimited.

A full month, you want unlimited: Ubigi again, at $44.00 — the cheapest full-month unlimited option we found here.

An unpredictable trip length: Bcengi's per-GB pricing means you're never stuck with unused allowance or scrambling to renew before an expiry date.

A few things worth knowing before you buy

None of these give you a Dutch phone number — they're all data-only eSIMs. Keep your existing SIM active if you need a number for calls, bank verification, or two-factor codes.

Install before you fly. Every provider here lets you activate the eSIM once you land, so there's no reason to wait until you're at Schiphol to scan a QR code.

Check your phone is eSIM-compatible and carrier-unlocked first — our guide to checking eSIM compatibility takes about a minute.

If this is your first time using an eSIM, our beginner's guide to how eSIMs work covers installation and activation from the very start.
