Best eSIM for Mexico
Ryvo is ours, which makes this page an argument and not a review.
The rules sit above the ranking, every rival number links to the page it was read on, and three of the four picks below go to sellers who are not us.
The best eSIM for Mexico is one that tells you what you get and where it does not reach.
Our Mexico plans print the total, the days and the price per day on the card.
Airalo and Holafly both sell Mexico by the day in US dollars, and only one of them publishes the daily limit.

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 in Mexico for a week or two and know roughly what you get through at home
Pick: Ryvo
Pick a size and the card states that size, the days it runs and what each of those days costs, in Australian dollars.
Holafly published no data total for Mexico, Airalo's totals come only with minutes and texts on a separate product, and neither quoted us Australian dollars.
You are staying a month and would rather not count gigabytes at all
Pick: Airalo
Airalo names the amount you get each day at full speed, the speed it drops to afterwards, when the day restarts and what you can still do once it has dropped.
It also says it caps nothing on tethering, and its thirty-day total is under Holafly's.
Your trip takes in Holbox, Contoy or the road across to Merida
Pick: Holafly
Not because it reaches further, but because it is the only seller here that prints a list of the places its Mexico eSIM leaves out.
Read that list against your own route before you buy anything, ours included.
You want a Mexican number for minutes and texts as well as data
Pick: Airalo
Its second Mexico product carries minutes and messages on Movistar beside a fixed data total.
We sell data only and always will, so this is a row we send you to rather than one we compete in.

How we compared
What each rule checks
- Is the limit written down. A plan sold with no total still slows down somewhere. A seller that names the amount you get each day at full speed, the speed it drops to and what still works at that speed ranks above one that leaves all three to a sentence about network management.
- Does it say where it will not work. Mexico is big and a lot of the trip is not in a city. A seller that names the places its own eSIM leaves out has told you something you would otherwise find out standing on a dock, and that is worth more than a reassuring paragraph.
- What the trip costs, over its own length. The seller's own total for the plan's own days, plus that total divided by those days. Both rival pages served us US dollars, so the table prints US dollars and converts nothing.
- Can a second device use it, and can you add more. Whether the connection reaches a laptop or a travel companion's phone without a cap of its own, and whether an eSIM already on your phone can take more data later instead of being replaced.
- Is it a data plan or a phone plan. One product in this table carries minutes and text messages as well as data. That is a different thing from what we sell, and worth knowing before you compare it on price alone.
How this page is built
Nobody types a Ryvo figure into this page. Our sizes, days and prices are read when the page renders from the records that build our Mexico page and charge our checkout, so the till cannot disagree with the table, and a plan we withdraw loses its row instead of going stale inside it.
A rival row is that seller's own sentence, with the link beside it and the day somebody opened it. Nothing is trimmed into meaning less than it says. Where a page answered a question with silence, the cell reports the silence. We review nobody, ourselves least of all.
Airalo's two Mexico products are listed apart because they are two products. One set is sold with no total at all and carries the fair-use policy that goes with it, and the data, calls and texts packages carry a total with minutes and messages and no published answer to what happens when the total runs out. Reading one product's policy onto the other would be our guess, not Airalo's statement.
Both sellers quoted us US dollars for Mexico, so no rival total here can be read straight against ours, which are in Australian dollars. A seller can serve a different currency on a different day, which is one reason every row carries its own date.
Simify has no row. Its Mexico page was running a November sale on the day we looked, so the figure on screen was a sale price rather than its usual one, and the fair-use wording that has to sit beside an uncapped allowance was not on that page. A row built from another country's page would be a figure nobody published about Mexico.
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
How much does an eSIM for Mexico cost?
Our own sizes and prices are in the table above, read when this page renders from the records the checkout charges from, so the till cannot disagree with them.
Holafly prices Mexico by the number of days.
Airalo sells by the day too, and also 10GB, 20GB and 50GB totals bundled with minutes and texts.
Both quoted us US dollars on the day in the row.
Are there places in Mexico an eSIM will not reach?
Holafly's own Mexico page lists some: Holbox and Contoy islands, Chiquila and Ojo de Agua, and parts of the road between Playa del Carmen and Merida.
That list is Holafly's statement about Holafly, and the link and the date are in its rows above.
For any seller, including us, the plan page names the countries and not the coves.
Can I make calls or send texts with any of these?
Only on one product.
Airalo sells a second Mexico plan with minutes and text messages on Movistar beside its data, and the page we read does not say whether it comes with a Mexican number.
Every other plan in this table, ours included, is data only, so calls and messages go through WhatsApp or another app.
Why do some cells say Not published?
Because the seller does not say.
Airalo's data, calls and texts packages name no answer to what happens when the total runs out, and nothing about sharing the connection.
Those two cells report that rather than borrowing the answer from the fair-use policy beside its other Mexico product, which is a different thing.
Will WhatsApp work on any of these in Mexico?
All of them carry mobile data, which is all WhatsApp needs, and in Mexico it is how tours, drivers and apartment hosts answer.
Set the account up at home, because the sign-up sends a code to your own number and that arrives on your usual SIM.
Do I set it up before I fly to Mexico?
Yes, on Wi-Fi at home.
Adding one to a phone takes a connection, and the taxi rank at Cancun is the wrong moment to discover that.
Where a plan starts on its first connection abroad, doing it early costs you no days at all.
How old are the Mexico figures?
Each one carries the day it was read, in its own cell.
Our build stops once any of them turns three months old, so what you see is either recent or already queued for a re-read, and the link beside it goes to the seller's own page.
In short
Buy on what you can read before you pay.
Our Mexico cards carry the total, the days and the cost of each day, and Airalo puts a figure on its daily limit and on the speed after it.
Holafly alone says where its Mexico eSIM will not reach.
