Where GigSky sits against the rest

Three separate orderings of the 28 providers we track, not a score — a provider can be cheapest on the list and reach the fewest countries on it.

What GigSky has charged over time

The cheaper end of GigSky's catalogue works out at $1.66 a gigabyte today, 23% below the $2.16 it worked out at in December 2025. That is not the same as a price change, though: GigSky went from 1,937 plans to 1,189 over the same period, and a figure taken across a whole catalogue moves when the catalogue does.

That is above the $1.50 a gigabyte works out at for the median provider we track — GigSky ranks 18 of 26 from the cheapest, so it is worth checking what the same destination costs elsewhere on the site. That is mostly the market rather than GigSky: the median provider's figure moved 18% across the same months, against their 23%.

Each figure is the lower quartile of every plan this provider had listed that month — the cheaper end of their range, not an average. Because it covers the whole catalogue, it also moves when a provider adds or drops plans, which is why the plan count is charted underneath.

Where GigSky puts you on the internet

Traffic exits through a single gateway in the United States for nearly every plan GigSky publishes, meaning buyers appear to have an American IP address regardless of where they are travelling. This hub routing design means streaming services will serve US catalogues rather than local content, which can be either limiting or beneficial depending on what the traveller wants to watch. Banking and government apps in the destination country may refuse to work with a foreign IP address, requiring alternative access methods for essential services.

Where you can use GigSky

GigSky sells eSIMs for 192 countries. Open one to see every GigSky plan for it, what it costs and which networks it runs on — most-asked-about destinations first.

Regional plans

GigSky also sells plans for 13 regions — one eSIM covering a group of countries rather than a single one.

What sort of provider GigSky is

A catalogue spanning most of the world makes GigSky a broad provider rather than a niche eSIM range, although reach alone will not separate it from several rivals. The more useful comparison is by destination: its catalogue is especially deep in Israel, Mexico, Egypt, Austria and Belgium, yet may be much thinner just across a border. Country, regional and global plans also suit itineraries crossing borders, putting multiple stops on one profile; regional or global bundles usually cost more per gigabyte than a single-country plan. GigSky does not say whether top-ups are available, so check its terms before relying on an extension.
