Hi Product Hunt, we built the Backpacking Is Life calculator to answer a question that kept coming up when comparing eSIMs: how much extra does it cost to keep the same plan after crossing a border?
Take a week in South Korea followed by a week in Japan. At the everyday setting, the calculator budgets about 7 GB per person. Two country plans might give you 5 GB in each place. If you only use 2 GB in Korea, the other 3 GB stays with the Korean plan. A regional plan lets you spend that allowance wherever you need it along the route.
The gallery shows an actual run. You can change the stops, days or data use and compare the difference at the prices shown for your own trip. Some provider links earn us a commission at no extra cost to you. Commission doesn’t decide the ranking.
When you cross a border, which matters more to you: getting the lowest total price or keeping the same plan?
