The numbers

Green marks the better figure on each row. Where they match, neither is marked. Nothing here is weighted or scored: these are the published figures side by side.

Average per GB is computed only over plans where a per-gigabyte figure is derivable, so a catalogue full of unlimited plans is not flattered by counting zeroes. Price accuracy is measured from our own outbound clicks rather than taken from either provider: 1 sampled click for Mobimatter and 1 sampled click for Simsima. A perfect score from a hundred clicks is a weaker claim than one from four hundred, so the counts travel with it, and a provider nobody has clicked through yet has no score at all rather than a flattering default.

Same size, both providers

What each actually charges

Aggregates tell you about a catalogue. These are real plans at matching allowances, the same validity window and the same breadth of coverage, which is what you would actually be choosing between.

1 Go 7 days · 1 country CA$4.84 CA$4.84 per GB Buy → CA$2.59 CA$2.59 per GB Buy → 46% cheaper
5 Go 30 days · 1 country CA$6.22 CA$1.25 per GB Buy → CA$5.18 CA$1.04 per GB Buy → 17% cheaper
30 Go 30 days · 1 country CA$16.62 CA$0.55 per GB Buy → CA$96.80 CA$3.23 per GB Buy → 83% cheaper
100 Go 180 days · 1 country CA$41.57 CA$0.42 per GB Buy → CA$247.40 CA$2.48 per GB Buy → 83% cheaper

Each row pairs plans with the same allowance, the same validity window and the same number of countries, so neither side is penalised for covering more. The Buy links go to each provider's cheapest live plan rather than to the plan on that row: we only link to a plan we can track, and their own checkout is always authoritative.

Où ils se recoupent

The comparison that means something: the same market, both providers, cheapest gigabyte each. An average across different countries is not a like-for-like number.

20/27

Simsima is cheaper in 20 of the 27 markets listed here that both of them price. Across those markets the dearer of the two costs 1,7 times as much per gigabyte on average.

Showing the 30 largest of the 189 markets they share. Each row is the cheapest honest gigabyte each provider sells in that country; where either publishes no per-gigabyte figure the row shows no gap rather than a winner.

Or neither of them

This page compares two providers because you asked for two. Simsima is the 11 cheapest of the 23 catalogues we read, and on plenty of trips the right answer is a third provider entirely. The destination page for wherever you are going ranks every provider selling there on the same figures used above.

We earn a commission on some outbound links. Which provider comes out ahead on any row above is computed from their published prices, not from what either pays us, and no payout figure is available to the code that ranks plans.
