Which of Germany's 159 eSIMs is right for you? (2026)
Updated 21 August 2026 · 23 providers · 159 plans · prices read off each provider's own site
The short answer
The cheapest eSIM with a German number is Telekom MagentaMobil Prepaid S 1GB/28d at EUR 4.95 per 28 days. The cheapest travel eSIM in the table is Firsty Free (Germany; ad-funded, basic speed) at EUR 0, installed before you fly. Travel eSIMs are data only and carry no German number, so nothing that texts a code to a German mobile number can reach you on one: that is whatthe native tariffs are for. Every native German tariff needs identity verification before it activates, and most of them renew every 28 days rather than monthly, which is 13 payments a year.

Unlimited plans are valued at 200 GB when calculating EUR per GB, so capped plans are not beaten automatically. Native German tariffs mostly renew every 28 days, which is 13 payments a year rather than 12. Prices as of August 2026, verify on the provider site.

Are travel eSIMs cheaper than native German eSIMs?
For a few days, yes: Airalo 1 GB over 3 days is EUR 3.44 and Saily 1 GB over 7 days is EUR 3.47. For a month the native tariffs win: ALDI TALK sells 25 GB for EUR 8.99 per 28-day cycle while Airalo 10 GB over 30 days is EUR 13.76 and Saily 10 GB over 30 days is EUR 15.47. Native tariffs also carry a German number, which travel eSIMs do not.
What is the price per GB for an eSIM in Germany?
Native eSIMs are the cheapest per GB: ALDI TALK 100 GB for EUR 18.99 per 28-day cycle is about EUR 0.19 per GB. Travel eSIMs are roughly EUR 1 to EUR 3.50 per GB: Ubigi 10 GB over 30 days at EUR 10.75 is EUR 1.08 per GB, Nomad 10 GB over 30 days at EUR 13.76 is EUR 1.38, and Airalo 1 GB over 3 days at EUR 3.44 is EUR 3.44.
Do I need to verify my identity for an eSIM with a German number?
Yes. Every German tariff in this table requires identity verification before the line activates. VideoIdent works with any passport and runs 24/7, and activation can take minutes to hours after it. Travel eSIMs are data only, carry no German number, and are activated by scanning a QR code.
Which eSIMs work outside Germany?
The regional plans do. Airalo Eurolink covers 39 to 42 European countries and starts at EUR 4.30 for 1 GB over 7 days, Ubigi Europe is EUR 15 for 10 GB over 30 days, and Ubigi Europe Unlimited is EUR 23 for 7 days. Use the Coverage filter to see only the plans that are not Germany-only.
