## Methodology

We take eSIM prices from the providers' official websites once a week, in US dollars, as a buyer from Ukraine sees them, without promo codes or new-customer discounts. We compare single-country plans (not regional ones). If a provider has no plan of that size or length, there is no row.Operator prices come from the official roaming pages of Kyivstar, Vodafone and lifecell and from the SMS the operator sends on arrival. For pay-as-you-go roaming we convert the price of a data portion to the price of 1 GB.Hryvnia amounts are approximate, at monobank's rate on the update day. Tutu eSIM prices come from our catalogue when the page is updated.Spotted a mistake? Write to hello@tutuesim.com and we'll fix it with a new date.
