Airwaily's USD 27.78 30 GB, 180-day plan is 71.1% below Jetpac's multi-country USD 95.99 match and 64.8% below Nomad's multi-country 365-day USD 79 entry. The differing Nomad validity makes that an upfront comparison.

Which China eSIM fits your trip?

My recommendations depend on stay length. Airwaily's USD 0.76 1 GB week and USD 3.24 5 GB month lead the short-stay tables; its USD 10.14 20 GB month, USD 12.65 30 GB plan over 20 days and USD 27.78 30 GB over 180 days suit longer visits. At exact 10 GB, Jetpac's USD 5 one-day plan is 3.7% cheaper, but Airwaily's USD 5.19 lasts 30 days.

China eSIM price notes

Prices are USD observations, not confirmed checkout totals. Airwaily prices date from November 11, 2026, competitor records from November 8, 2026; some competitor figures were converted from another currency. Promotions are already included. The nine selected providers are filtered on stated allowance and validity, while taxes, fees and network performance sit outside the comparison.
