About Simscanner
What is Simscanner?
Simscanner is an independent travel eSIM comparison site. We compare travel eSIM brands on coverage, speed, and reliability, country by country. Brands cannot pay to rank higher. Every score is built from public data and a published methodology.
Why travellers trust us
An independent travel eSIM comparison built on public coverage data
Most "best eSIM" lists are ranked by who pays the most. We do not sell rankings. Every score on Simscanner is built from public coverage data and our methodology, with reviews refreshed on a regular schedule.
We compare network quality at city level
Speed and reliability data are drawn from public network performance sources, not brand marketing claims.
We rank country by country
A brand that performs well in Japan may rank lower in Morocco. Every country has its own ranking, reviewed on a regular schedule.
We never sell ranking positions
No brand can pay for a higher rank. Our methodology is published in full, including how every score is built.
