Cheapest & Best Australia eSIMs: Top 9 Providers Compared
Nine eSIM providers compared for Australia on listed USD prices, allowance and validity, from 1 GB for a week through to 50 GB for 30 days.
The dated comparison tables below reflect the observation date recorded for each figure and are not a guarantee of current pricing.
How I compared Australia eSIM prices
I compared listed prices for nine providers selling prepaid Australia data plans: Airwaily, Airalo, Saily, Nomad, MobiMatter, Ubigi, Jetpac, Yesim and GigSky. Airwaily publishes this comparison and sells one of the products in it. Each offer pairs a fixed allowance with a validity period, and both matter, since 1 GB over 7 days and 1 GB over 30 days are different products. My trip-length recommendations below therefore require a minimum allowance and a minimum validity rather than a single figure.
Australia eSIMs with exactly 1 GB
Eight providers listed an exact 1 GB plan. Airwaily's 7-day version at $0.95 was cheapest, while Yesim ran 1 GB over 30 days for $2.23.
| Provider | Allowance | Validity | Listed price |
|---|---|---|---|
| AirwailyCountry-specific Australia plan | 1 GB | 7 days | $0.95 |

Airwaily's 1 GB plan for 7 days costs 73.5% less than Saily's 1 GB/7-day offer and 76.3% less than Nomad's 1 GB/7-day plan. Allowance and validity match in both pairs, so this is a like-for-like upfront price gap.
Exactly 5 GB: where Jetpac undercuts Airwaily
Jetpac's promotional 5 GB plan for 3 days at $1 was the lowest exact 5 GB price, ahead of Airwaily's 15-day version at $2.45.

Exactly 10 GB Australia eSIM prices
All nine providers listed an exact 10 GB plan. Airwaily's 30-day version at $5.72 undercut MobiMatter at $7.99; Airalo, Ubigi and Jetpac sold 10 GB over 7 days.

Airwaily's 10 GB plan for 30 days costs 64.7% less than Saily's and 61.9% less than Nomad's. Both rivals also pair 10 GB with 30 days, so only the listed price separates them.
At least 15 GB: larger Australia allowances
This group accepts from 15 GB upward, so package sizes vary: Jetpac's 15 GB over 7 days at $10 against Airwaily's 20 GB over 30 days at $8.20.

Airwaily's 20 GB plan for 30 days costs 69.6% less than Saily's 20 GB/30-day plan and 58.2% less than Yesim's same-size, same-length offer. Both pairs match on allowance and validity, so the difference sits in the upfront price.

Australia eSIM verdict: which plan fits
Airwaily takes nine of the ten cohorts on listed price, and its 30 GB/60-day plan at $19.82 and 50 GB/30-day plan at $23.58 handle longer stays in one purchase. The exception is 5 GB, where Jetpac's $1 plan wins on upfront price but lasts 3 days. That is the tradeoff to weigh: a larger allowance over a short window costs less than the same data stretched across weeks, so match validity to your trip before choosing.
How to read these Australia prices
Airwaily retail prices were recorded on 11 November 2026 and competitor records on 8 November 2026. Figures are in USD, some competitor amounts were converted from the provider's own currency, and promotional prices are already included. Nine selected providers are covered. No top up price is recorded for any provider, so extra data means another plan.
