Best eSIM for Bali
We make Ryvo, so treat this as our own argument rather than somebody else's verdict.
We wrote down the five things we rank on before ranking anything, linked every rival figure to the page it came from, and named the three travellers who should buy from somebody else.
The best eSIM for Bali is one sold on a data total you can see before you buy.
Our Indonesia plans print the total, the days and the price per day on the card.
Holafly publishes no fixed total for Indonesia at all.
Every rival figure below carries its page and its date.

Rows marked We make Ryvo come from our own plan data. Prices stay in the currency each provider published. Each date is the day we read that page.
Who should pick which
You are going to Bali for a week or two and roughly know how much data you get through at home
Pick: Ryvo
A total you choose, in Australian dollars, with the days and the price per day printed beside it.
Nothing to monitor beyond a number you picked on purpose, and no conversion between the price you read and the price you pay.
The ladder runs from a week-long plan up to a month-long one sized for people who work from the island, and every rung is in the table with its own figures.
You are staying a month and would rather not count gigabytes at all
Pick: Airalo
Airalo is the only seller in this table that publishes both the amount you get each day at full speed and the speed it drops to afterwards, and it puts no limit on sharing the connection with a laptop.
If you want a month without a total, buy the one that tells you where the line is.
You are in Indonesia for longer than a month and want one fixed total to cover it
Pick: Simify
Simify sells a fixed Indonesia total on a ninety-day plan, in Australian dollars.
Every Indonesia plan we sell runs thirty days or fewer, so for a three-month stay on one total Simify has something we do not.
You are over for a long weekend and want the shortest plan going
Pick: Holafly
Holafly sells a three-day Indonesia plan, the shortest length anyone in this table publishes.
Our shortest Indonesia plans run a week, so for three nights in Seminyak Holafly has something we do not.

Do I need a SIM card for Bali, or will an eSIM do?
An eSIM does the job for a normal Bali trip, and you can set it up at home before you fly.
Buying a physical card in the arrivals hall at Denpasar means a queue, your passport and cash, and the tray in your phone only holds the one card.
An eSIM is a second line, so your Australian number stays on for calls, texts and the codes your bank sends.
Check the handset before you buy: most phones sold in Australia in the last few years take an eSIM, and our compatibility page lists the ones we have checked.
How we compared
What each rule checks
- Can you learn the limit without leaving the product page. A Bali plan you can only understand after reading a help centre article is a plan you cannot weigh against another one. A figure on the page beats a figure one click away, which beats no figure at all.
- Is the price already in Australian dollars. Most people reading this fly out of Sydney, Melbourne, Perth or Brisbane. A price in Australian dollars is a price you can compare straight away. A price in US dollars arrives with a bank conversion on top that nobody can quote for you.
- Does it suit a week on the island or a month on it. The two Bali trips we see are seven to fourteen days around Canggu, Ubud and the Bukit, and a month or more for people who work while they are there. A plan sold only in one of those shapes is ranked for that shape.
- What happens on the last day. A fixed total stops. A plan sold with no total slows down instead, and only some sellers say by how much. Both are fine once you know which one you bought, and we rank the seller who tells you.
- Could we verify it at all. A figure we could not find on the seller's own page is left out. We would rather print a gap than fill it with something we half remember.
How this page is built
The Ryvo rows are not written in this page. They are read from the same plan records that build our Indonesia page and price our checkout, so a total or a price here cannot say one thing and the payment screen another. An Indonesia plan we stop selling loses its row rather than sitting here out of date.
A rival row holds that seller's own published wording, with a link to the page it came from and the day somebody opened it. Where a seller publishes nothing on a question, the cell says so. We have written no review of ourselves and no review of anybody else.
Prices stay in the currency each seller showed us from an Australian connection on the day. Holafly quoted Indonesia in US dollars. Airalo and Simify both quoted Australian dollars, which is a point in their favour that the table itself shows.
The per-day column exists so a three-day plan and a thirty-day plan can be weighed against each other. It is the published total divided by the plan's own days, nothing more, and it is not a ranking: position in the table is just the order this page cites each seller.
Two gaps are deliberate. Neither Holafly page we read says whether an installed Indonesia eSIM can be extended, so those cells are blank. And Airalo's Indonesia page served us only plans sold with no data total, so it has no fixed-total row here and we have not guessed at one.
Per day is the published total divided by the plan's own days, rounded to the nearest cent. Prices stay in the currency each provider published, because a rate we picked on the day is not a price anyone published.

Questions about this comparison
Is there one Indonesia plan that suits most Bali trips?
For a week or two, a mid-sized total covers maps, Gojek, WhatsApp and a normal amount of scrolling.
For a month, go a size up rather than hoping.
Our Indonesia page turns each total into hours of maps, messaging and video so you can judge it before paying.
Why is this page written for Australians?
Because Australia is where most Bali travellers fly from, and it changes the answer.
A price already in Australian dollars needs no conversion, and a plan that starts when you land at Denpasar matters more than one that starts when you buy it.
Do these plans work outside Bali?
Bali is a province of Indonesia, so an Indonesia plan is the one to buy for it, and the same plan keeps working on Java, Lombok and the Gilis.
Signal thins on Nusa Penida and out east, which is a network fact rather than a plan fact.
What should I buy for a month in Bali?
If you want a total, pick the largest one that matches your usual month and read the per-day figure in the table.
If you would rather not track anything, the seller to look at is the one that publishes its daily threshold and the slower speed after it.
Why do some rows have nothing in the cap column?
Because that seller does not publish it.
A plan sold with no data total still slows down somewhere.
Where the amount and the speed are published we print both, and where they are not we say that the seller does not publish them.
Why is one seller priced in US dollars?
That is what Holafly showed us from an Australian connection on the day we read it.
We publish each price as published.
Converting it would put a rate we picked on the page, and that would be the only figure here nobody else could check.
Will Gojek and Grab work on any of these?
All of them carry mobile data, which is all those apps need to book a ride, watch the driver arrive and pay in the app.
Set the accounts up at home, because verifying an Australian number from a warung in Kuta is slow going.
Can I run my laptop off one of these in a Canggu cafe?
Read the hotspot column before you pay.
One seller caps sharing at a daily amount, one says it caps nothing, and Ryvo cards state only what our supplier has confirmed to us rather than promising anything.
Should I install before I fly out?
Yes.
Installing needs a connection, and the queue at Denpasar immigration is the wrong place to find that out.
Install on home Wi-Fi, and where a plan only begins on its first connection abroad, the days wait until you land.
Do I keep my Australian number?
Yes, with every plan in this table.
They all carry data only, so your usual SIM stays in the phone for calls, texts and bank codes, and the eSIM handles the data.
Nothing here replaces your number.
In short
For a week or two in Bali, Ryvo is the pick: a total you chose, in Australian dollars, with the days and the price per day beside it.
Airalo is the one to buy for a month without counting gigabytes, because it publishes the daily full-speed amount and the speed after it.
Simify sells a longer fixed total and Holafly a shorter plan than we do.
