What the score is built from
We score each plan on how well its high-speed data fits the amount you told us you need, the total monthly cost for the number of lines you selected, whether it runs on your preferred network, and whether it meets the specific needs you ticked such as hotspot, eSIM or international use.
We also reward plans that include taxes and fees in the advertised price, because that is the number you actually pay, and plans whose pricing we have verified recently.
How sponsorship is handled
Commercial relationships never change the editorial score. Where a sponsored plan appears higher, the boost is applied separately, disclosed on the card, and shown in the ranking explanation.
Plans with no commercial relationship are always included and are labelled independent.
Where the data comes from
Plan details are collected from carrier sources and affiliate data feeds, then validated before publication. Each plan shows the date it was last verified.
If a price cannot be verified, we do not publish it. We would rather show fewer plans than invented numbers.
