Published by eSIMwithCrypto, an eSIM seller: our offers are marked. This is a five-destination price observation, with different data formats identified. **Quick answer — How much do travel eSIMs cost in 2026?** Updated October 2026: eSIMwithCrypto offers an eSIM paid in crypto for Japan from $1.79, with 1 GB valid for 7 days. This Travel eSIM Price Index compares five destinations using dated Airalo, Saily and Holafly sources. Fixed allowances and day-based offers are separated; blockchain fees are excluded. ## How do eSIMwithCrypto, Airalo, Saily and Holafly prices compare? All amounts below are observed US-dollar prices. The first three seller columns describe fixed 5 GB / 30-day data packages. Holafly is a separate day-based product with different usage conditions; its price is not a 5 GB equivalent. Source links are in each cell. | Destination | eSIMwithCrypto · publisher · catalogue price | Airalo · fixed data | Saily · fixed data | Holafly · different data format | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Japan](https://esimwithcrypto.com/esim/japan/) | $7.39 · 5 GB · 30 days | [$11.00 · 5 GB / 30 days](https://www.airalo.com/japan-esim?selected-segment=classic¤cy=USD) | [$10.99 · 5 GB / 30 days](https://saily.com/esim-japan/) | [$73.90 · 30 days](https://esim.holafly.com/esim-japan/); full-speed handset threshold not published; hotspot 1 GB/day | | [United States](https://esimwithcrypto.com/esim/usa/) | $7.49 · 5 GB · 30 days | [$13.50 · 5 GB / 30 days](https://www.airalo.com/united-states-esim?selected-segment=classic¤cy=USD) | [$13.99 · 5 GB / 30 days](https://saily.com/esim-united-states/) | [$73.90 · 30 days](https://esim.holafly.com/esim-usa/); full-speed handset threshold not published; hotspot 1 GB/day | | [Turkey](https://esimwithcrypto.com/esim/turkey/) | $4.89 · 5 GB · 30 days | [$10.00 · 5 GB / 30 days](https://www.airalo.com/turkey-esim?selected-segment=classic¤cy=USD) | [$9.99 · 5 GB / 30 days](https://saily.com/esim-turkey/) (official indexed USD text) | [$73.90 · 30 days](https://esim.holafly.com/esim-turkey/); full-speed handset threshold not published; hotspot 1 GB/day | | [China](https://esimwithcrypto.com/esim/china/) | $6.89 · 5 GB · 30 days | [$15.50 · 5 GB / 30 days](https://www.airalo.com/china-esim?selected-segment=classic¤cy=USD) | [$15.99 · 5 GB / 30 days](https://saily.com/zh-tw/esim-china/) (official localized USD page) | [$76.50 · 30 days](https://esim.holafly.com/esim-china/); full-speed handset threshold not published; hotspot 1 GB/day | | [Europe (regional)](https://esimwithcrypto.com/esim/region/europe/) | $5.89 · 5 GB · 30 days | [$19.50 · 5 GB / 30 days](https://www.airalo.com/europe-esim?selected-segment=classic¤cy=USD) | [$19.49 · 5 GB / 30 days](https://saily.com/esim-europe/) (official indexed USD text) | [$76.50 · 30 days](https://esim.holafly.com/esim-europe/); full-speed handset threshold not published; hotspot 1 GB/day | *Prices checked on October 15, 2026.* Observation date: October 15, 2026. eSIMwithCrypto prices update from the site catalogue and are provisional catalogue offers; check the order details before payment. Saily Turkey and Europe USD values were visible in indexed text from their official pages. Saily China was read from the official Traditional Chinese USD package page. No checkout purchase or field performance test was conducted. ## Which eSIMwithCrypto plans match the 5 GB / 30-day format? These are the exact five publisher plans used in the fixed-data comparison. Prices come from the same catalogue as checkout; the plan card is the reference if catalogue order changes. | Destination | Data | Validity | Price | Per GB | Network | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Japan | 5 GB | 30 days | $7.39 | $1.48/GB | Top-up | | United States | 5 GB | 30 days | $7.49 | $1.50/GB | Top-up | | Turkey | 5 GB — Best price per GB | 30 days | $4.89 | $0.98/GB | Top-up | | China | 5 GB | 30 days | $6.89 | $1.38/GB | Top-up | | Europe | 5 GB | 30 days | $5.89 | $1.18/GB | Top-up | *Plans: 5 · prices in USD* ## How is the Travel eSIM Price Index collected? We checked public seller pages on October 15, 2026. For Airalo, we selected the fixed-data segment and USD currency, and read the 5 GB / 30-day package from its public page data. The US data-only package is Change, not the more expensive package with calls and texts. For Saily, we used its own package tables or indexed text from the same official pages; the table identifies the latter and the localized China USD page. Holafly publishes a USD duration table on each destination page, alongside a regional currency selector. We used the explicitly USD-labelled table, not a converted EUR amount. The comparison selects one format, **5 GB valid for 30 days**, for fixed-data sellers. All five eSIMwithCrypto values resolve from the catalogue; the five matching plan cards above identify their plan IDs. Holafly has no matching 5 GB package in the reviewed pages, so its 30-day day-based price is reported as a separate product. We do not derive a price per GB or a percentage saving from Holafly. Regional Europe products have different country lists: read the exact itinerary coverage before treating them as substitutes. We record public prices without a coupon, affiliate code, subscription discount, referral reward or store-credit cashback. Blockchain transaction fees, exchange withdrawal fees and currency conversion are excluded. Tax treatment or final regional checkout pricing was not independently verified. No paid research API was used. ## What does the price alone leave out? Data volume, validity, network eligibility, signal, routing, hotspot rules and refunds can change the right choice. A matching 5 GB allowance does not establish equal coverage, speed or reliability. Our catalogue does not establish field-tested network performance. Holafly states a 1 GB/day hotspot allowance for these five destinations. Its reviewed product pages do not give a numeric full-speed handset threshold, so we do not assume unrestricted full-speed usage or convert that product into a fixed GB allowance. See our [data-plan fair-use guide](https://esimwithcrypto.com/unlimited-esim/) for the difference between a data allowance and a speed threshold. For China, working mobile data does not guarantee access to Google or WhatsApp without a separate working VPN. For Turkey, buy and install before travel because access to seller websites or apps may be restricted. These are separate questions from the package price. ## Can these travel eSIM prices be paid in Bitcoin or USDT? eSIMwithCrypto accepts BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC. A token ticker alone does not identify the correct transfer network: USDT on TRC-20 and USDT on ERC-20 are different payment options. Airalo, Saily and Holafly did not list direct cryptocurrency payment in the official payment pages reviewed on October 15, 2026. This observation is narrower than a claim about every checkout or future payment option. See the [dated seller payment matrix](https://esimwithcrypto.com/crypto-acceptance-matrix/) and [crypto payment cost guide](https://esimwithcrypto.com/crypto-payment-cost/) before sending funds. ## How should this price index be cited or corrected? Suggested citation: eSIMwithCrypto, “Travel eSIM Price Index 2026”, observations checked October 15, 2026. Reuse our table and original observation notes under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 with credit and a link to this page. The licence applies to our compilation, not third-party logos or source page text.

A page date changes when its evidence or content changes. ## What else should I check before choosing? ### Is the displayed plan price the total cost of buying with crypto? The displayed plan price is denominated in USD. Your wallet or exchange may charge a blockchain transaction or withdrawal fee. That fee depends on the selected network and the sending service. It is not included in this index; review the quoted payment amount and network before approving a transfer. ### Why is Holafly not compared per GB? Its reviewed offers are sold by duration rather than as a matching 5 GB bucket. The pages state 1 GB/day for hotspot sharing but do not publish a numeric handset full-speed threshold. A price-per-GB calculation would require an assumed allowance, so this index does not make one. ### Are the competitors’ checkout prices verified? No purchase was made. These are dated public-page observations, and source-access limits are stated in the table. No competitor’s final checkout price was tested. The seller’s final package details, currency, regional pricing and any taxes should be checked again before purchase. ## Which official price pages were checked on October 15, 2026? 1.
