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

MicroEsim: Not confirmed yet

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.

MicroEsim: Conditional refund: full/partial if your device is eSIM-incompatible, the eSIM never connects (full minus a small admin fee), or it works only intermittently (partial, prorated). No refund once the plan has expired unused, once installed on a device (no transfers), for a wrong checkout email, or a simple change of mind. Approved refunds go back to the original payment method, up to 30 business days.

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.

MicroEsim: Validity starts when you activate data roaming on the eSIM (connect to the network), not when you first install/add it to the device.

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.

MicroEsim: Unlimited plans: 'true unlimited' plans may be throttled for the rest of the day once usage typically exceeds 10GB in a single day (resets daily); plans with a high-speed cap drop to 128kbps once that allowance is used.

Top-ups & rollover

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

MicroEsim: No — an existing eSIM's data allowance can't be renewed or topped up; buy a new eSIM for more data (per their FAQ).
