Israel is the cheapest of these three markets, and still twice the rate we see in Thailand

One provider, thirty prices, and no market survey

Airalo is the only eSIM seller whose Israeli prices anyone here has read. Thirty plans, all thirty verified on airalo.com on 17 August 2026. Saily, Holafly, Nomad, eSIMCard and eSIM Go sell travel eSIMs too, and we have not priced a single one of them in Israel, so none of them is named with a figure on this page. That is a gap in our coverage, not a verdict on them.

Airalo lists its Israeli plans under two product names, Annatel and Annatel+. Those are the labels Airalo puts on its own eSIMs at checkout. They are not host networks, and we cannot tell you what technical difference lies between the two lines: Airalo publishes no network for Israel, or for any other country, and our data holds nothing that distinguishes the tiers beyond the price. What we can do is show you both, because the price gap between them is large.

Both lines, side by side

The cheaper line is cheaper at every size and duration in the list — there is no row where the plus tier undercuts it. At the short durations the gap is modest, a couple of dollars. At 30 days it becomes severe: $31.50 against $16.50 at 10 GB, and $48.50 against $23.50 at 20 GB, which is more than double. Whatever the plus tier includes, it is priced as a month-long product.

Six unlimited plans exist as well, all on the cheaper line: $18 for 3 days, $26 for 5, $41.50 for 7, $48.50 for 10, $68.50 for 15 and $98 for 30. There is no unlimited option on the plus tier at all.

The 20 GB plan is four cents off the floor

The lowest rate in our Israeli data is the 50 GB plan over 30 days at $55.50, which is $1.11 a gigabyte. The usual advice would be to buy it. Israel is the one market of the three we added this week where that advice is arguable, because the tier below is almost as good: 20 GB over 15 days at $23.00 is $1.15 a gigabyte, four cents behind.

Put the choice in cash rather than rates. Going from 20 GB over 30 days at $23.50 to 50 GB over 30 days at $55.50 costs $32 for thirty more gigabytes. That is $1.07 each, cheaper than anything else on the ladder — but only if you actually use them. Most travellers do not use 50 GB in a month. Buy the 50 GB plan because you need 50 GB, not because it has the prettiest rate.

The rest of the ladder behaves normally. The 1 GB plan is $6.00, which is $6.00 a gigabyte, five and a half times the floor. The 5 GB plan over 7 days is $10.00, or $2.00. The 10 GB plan over 7 days is $15.00, or $1.50. Each rung up is better value than the one below, and the small plans are only worth buying when you are sure your needs are small.

Unlimited is hard to justify here

Unlimited costs more than metered at every comparable point. The 7-day unlimited is $41.50; 20 GB over 15 days is $23.00, which is nearly half the price with double the window. The 30-day unlimited is $98 against $55.50 for 50 GB over the same month. Unless you expect to move very large amounts of data on a short trip, the metered ladder is the better buy, and the 3-day unlimited at $18 is the only one that looks like a fair convenience premium.

Which tier to buy

• A few days. 3 GB over 3 days at $8.00 on the cheaper line. The plus version of the same plan is $10.00.
• A week. 10 GB over 7 days at $15.00. It is $1.50 a gigabyte, and it beats buying 5 GB twice.
• Two weeks, the common case. 20 GB over 15 days at $23.00. This is the plan we would buy: four cents a gigabyte off the country's best rate, at a third of the outlay.
• A month of heavy use. 50 GB over 30 days at $55.50.

At every one of those points, check which line you are on before paying. The plus tier is between $2 and $25 dearer for the same data and days.

Israel against the rest of the site

$1.11 a gigabyte makes Israel the cheapest of the three markets we priced on 17 August — Taiwan and Malaysia both bottom out at $1.39 — and it is still expensive against the site as a whole. Airalo's Thai 50 GB plan was $27.50 on 13 August, $0.55 a gigabyte, and its Austrian one $29, or $0.58. Israel's is $55.50. Twice the Thai rate, from the same seller, four days apart.

We hold no local SIM data for Israel: no airport prices, no registration rules, no operator names, no advice on where to buy in town. We have not done that research, so this page does not pretend to it. For the method behind the figures, see how we test; our Airalo page covers the seller across every country we hold, and the cheapest eSIM plans shows where $1.11 ranks.
