Methodology
Source: the live MonoEsim plan catalogue (prepaid data-only travel eSIMs) on 12 November 2026. We included plans that cover exactly one country and have a fixed data allowance of at least 1 GB; unlimited and multi-country (regional) plans are excluded. Lowest € / GB is the plan price divided by its data volume for the best-value plan; median € / GB is the middle value across all included plans for the country. “From” columns show the cheapest plan with at least that data volume and validity. 5G means at least one partner network in that country supports 5G. Prices are final consumer prices in EUR and can change; for the current price open the country page.
