What PikaSIM charges

The cheaper end of PikaSIM's catalogue works out at $2.37 a gigabyte. That is well above the $1.34 a gigabyte works out at for the median provider we track. PikaSIM is one of the pricier catalogues we cover, 51 of 52 counting from the cheapest, though a headline rate is not the whole story on a plan you will actually use.

We first recorded their catalogue in September 2026, so there is no month-by-month line to draw yet — it starts once we hold 4 monthly snapshots.

Each figure is the lower quartile of every plan the provider lists — the cheaper end of their range, not an average — against the same figure for the median provider we track.

Where PikaSIM puts you on the internet

Traffic exits through a small set of regional gateways, led by the United Kingdom, with Singapore and the United States of America also carrying a minority of PikaSIM’s plans; Israel and Austria appear on a smaller number. The United Kingdom is busiest, but only a small part of the catalogue exits in the country covered, so this is a broad hub spread rather than local routing. The trade-off is apparent location: streaming catalogues may switch to the gateway country’s selection, which can differ from what is available where you are.

What sort of provider PikaSIM is

PikaSIM puts privacy first: no account is needed, and it says it never asks for a name, phone number, address or ID. Payment can be made in Bitcoin, Monero, Zcash and other cryptocurrencies through its own self-hosted BTCPay server. Products include country, regional, global, daily unlimited and non-expiring Forever eSIMs, phone plans with a real number, and an SMS verification service, ordered by app or web.

With a catalogue spanning most of the world, PikaSIM is a broad reseller rather than a narrow regional specialist. That reach is not unusual among eSIM providers, so the useful comparison is per destination: its range is deepest in Ireland, the United Kingdom, Greece, Bulgaria and Croatia, while a nearby country may offer less choice than the global catalogue suggests. Regional and global plans can cover a border-crossing itinerary on one profile, though they usually cost more per gigabyte than a country plan. Purchases are one-off, and PikaSIM does not say whether plans can be topped up, so check its terms before travelling.
