Updated June 2026. The cheapest eSIM for Austria is **Airalo Austria 1 GB** at **EUR 4.50** for 7 days (data only, QR code activation in minutes). For unlimited data on a short stay, **Holafly Austria** costs **EUR 17 for 7 days** (throttled after heavy use). Expats and long-term residents get better value from a resident eSIM: **spusu** starts at **EUR 4.90/month** with voice calls and EU roaming on the Drei network. All plans activate via QR code with no Austrian address required.

## How does the score work?

Each plan receives sub-scores on four axes, then a weighted average produces the headline match number out of 100. The weighting reflects what matters most when choosing an Austria eSIM plan:

- **Price (30%)**: total cost for your stay versus your stated budget. Plans over budget drop sharply.
- **Stay fit (25%)**: how well the plan duration matches your stay length. A 7-day plan on a 30-day stay requires multiple purchases and scores lower.
- **Data fit (25%)**: total data allocation across all plan purchases versus your daily data need multiplied by stay length.
- **Feature match (20%)**: voice calls, multi-country coverage, activation ease, top-up availability, and whether the plan is designed for your usage profile (tourist, expat, resident).
