eSIMDB AI is a free tool that compares 15,000+ eSIM plans from 120+ providers across 195 countries. Here's exactly how to get the most out of it.
Step 1: Describe Your Trip in Plain English
Go to esimdb.ai and start typing in the search bar. No account needed.
Type your trip details naturally:
- "Paris, 10 days, around 5GB"
- "Europe road trip, 3 weeks, unlimited data"
- "Japan business trip, need fast hotspot"
- "Southeast Asia, Thailand + Vietnam + Indonesia, 2 weeks, 10GB"
The AI understands context — "Actually, I also need hotspot" mid-conversation updates the results.
Step 2: Reading the Results
Results show the top 3–5 plans ranked by value for your trip:
- Provider name and plan details — data size, validity, price in your currency
- Feature flags — ✓ Hotspot, ✓ 5G, ✓ VoIP allowed, ✓ Multi-country coverage
- Value score — composite score based on price, reliability, coverage, and features
- Honest tradeoffs — "This plan is cheapest but doesn't support hotspot. The next option costs €3 more but includes tethering."
Step 3: Comparing Specific Providers
- "Compare Airalo vs Saily for France"
- "Is Holafly or Nomad better for Japan?"
- "Show me all providers covering both Thailand and Vietnam"
Step 4: Check Your Device
Before buying, verify your phone supports eSIM at esimdb.ai/esim-compatible-devices/ or dial *#06# — a 32-digit EID confirms eSIM support.
Step 5: Purchasing

Tips for Better Results

- Mention hotspot if you need it — filters out 60% of plans that don't allow tethering
- Include all countries for multi-destination trips
- Ask follow-up questions — conversation remembers your trip context
