Georgia the country, not the US state: its cheapest verified eSIM rate is $0.98 a gigabyte

Which Georgia, and who we actually priced

This page is about the country between the Black Sea and the Caucasus mountains, capital Tbilisi — not the US state, which has no eSIM prices of its own here because the whole of the United States is priced as one market.

We hold plan data for exactly one eSIM provider here: Airalo. Thirteen plans, all thirteen verified — read off airalo.com on 17 August 2026. That is the whole of our Georgian coverage. Saily, Holafly, Nomad, eSIMCard and eSIM Go all sell travel eSIMs; nobody here has priced them for Georgia yet, so none of them appears below with a number beside it.

Airalo lists its Georgian plans as Gaumarjos!, with one variant labelled Gaumarjos!+. Those are Airalo's own retail product names — a Georgian toast, borrowed for a shop listing — and neither is a carrier. Airalo publishes no host network for Georgia, and publishes none for any other country either, so which Georgian operator carries the traffic is not something we can tell you.

The full ladder

The 50 GB plan is nearly the whole story

$49 for 50 GB over 30 days is $0.98 a gigabyte, and nothing else here comes close. The rung below it, 20 GB over 30 days, is $36.50 — you save $12.50 and give up thirty gigabytes, which is about 42 cents each. Step down again and the rates climb steeply: $1.83 at 20 GB, $2.85 at 10 GB over 30 days, $3.40 at 5 GB over 30 days, $4.50 at 1 GB.

That is a 4.6-fold difference in rate between the top and bottom of one seller's list, in one country, read on one afternoon, decided by nothing except which row you click. The small plans are not a trap — if a gigabyte is genuinely all you want, $4.50 is a small sum — but they are terrible value, and they are the ones at the top of the page.

Where a country's ladder stops sets its floor

Georgia's $0.98 is not a Georgian achievement. The identical $49-for-50 GB rung appears in eighteen countries in our data, Kazakhstan, Estonia, Mongolia, Macau and Ukraine among them. It looks like a regional price band rather than anything to do with what data costs in Tbilisi.

The proof sits next door. Armenia and Azerbaijan have no 50 GB plan at all — both ladders stop at 20 GB — and both floor at $2.40 a gigabyte, two and a half times Georgia's rate. Uzbekistan also stops at 20 GB and floors at $1.575. The difference is not that those countries are priced worse rung for rung; it is that the cheap rung is simply not offered, so the floor lands wherever the ladder ends.

So the first question when comparing this region is not who is cheapest but whether the country has a 50 GB plan at all. Georgia does, which is why it is the cheap one of the five.

The row we would not buy

Two 20 GB plans sit next to each other and they are the wrong way round. 20 GB over 15 days is $38, while 20 GB over 30 days is $36.50 — more days for less money. We have flagged the $38 row as suspect rather than quietly dropping it, because both were read off the same page on the same day and one is presumably an error. Either way there is no argument for the shorter plan.

Two quirks in the small plans

The 1 GB tier is the odd one. Airalo sells 1 GB for three days at $4.50 and 1 GB for seven days at $4.50 — the same money, more than twice the window, with the longer one carrying the Gaumarjos!+ label. If a gigabyte is all you want, there is no reason to take the three-day version.

Georgia also has no unlimited option at all. Of the five neighbouring markets read the same day — Armenia, Azerbaijan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan are the others — Georgia is the only one where every plan is metered. There is no time-priced escape hatch: if you want more data you buy a bigger number.

Which tier to buy

• A weekend of maps and messaging. 3 GB over three days at $10, or 5 GB over seven days at $15.
• A week. 10 GB over seven days at $27. The 15-day version is $27.50, so if your dates are loose at all, pay the extra 50 cents.
• A fortnight, or a phone tethering a laptop. 20 GB over 30 days at $36.50 — cheaper than the 15-day row above it, so take the long one.
• A month, or two people sharing a hotspot. 50 GB over 30 days at $49, the only Georgian plan we hold that comes in under a dollar a gigabyte.

What this page does not tell you

We hold no local SIM data for Georgia at all: no airport counter prices, no shop advice, no registration rules, no operator names. We have not researched it, so this page stays silent until someone here has.

We also hold nothing for the other five sellers here. If one of them beats $0.98 a gigabyte in Georgia, we would not know it — and neither would a page listing all six with figures nobody read. That distinction is the whole of how we test. Our Airalo page covers what the company is like to buy from across every country we hold, and the cheapest eSIM plans puts Georgia's $0.98 next to every other rate on the site.
