Policies compared

Confirmed from each provider's own site — see the trust card on each provider page for the verification date.

ID verification

AirPlans: Not required

Esimatic: Not required

Refund policy

AirPlans: Full refund within 30 days if the eSIM was never installed or activated, wasn't delivered, or had a verified unresolved technical failure; installed plans and wrong-destination purchases are non-refundable.

Esimatic: Refunds within 30 days of purchase, only when the eSIM can't be activated due to a technical problem on Esimatic's side after troubleshooting; an installed eSIM is considered used and non-refundable.

Validity starts

AirPlans: On most plans validity begins the first time the eSIM connects to a supported network at the destination, not at purchase or install; AirPlans' Terms note some plans instead start on installation, as stated in each plan's terms.

Esimatic: Validity starts when the eSIM auto-connects and uses its first 1KB of data at your destination, not at purchase; unused bundles expire 12 months after purchase.

Fair-use limit

AirPlans: Unlimited plans come with a daily high-speed allowance (1GB, 2GB or 3GB per day depending on the plan), after which speed drops to a stated rate (512 Kbps to about 2 Mbps) until the next day. Both figures are published per plan in their feed and shown on each plan row here.

Esimatic: Day Plan: 1GB of fast 5G data every 24 hours then throttled to 1.25 Mbps; Day Plan+: 2GB fast data daily then throttled to 2 Mbps -- both stay unlimited overall, never fully cut off.

Top-ups & rollover

AirPlans: Existing eSIMs can be topped up with more data from the My eSIMs screen in the app, no reinstall needed.

Esimatic: Top up by buying the same eSIM bundle again from the Esimatic shop on the existing eSIM; no reinstall needed.
