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 Austrian mobile users consistently rank most decision-relevant:

  • Price (35%): monthly cost versus your stated budget. Plans over your cap drop sharply.
  • Data value (30%): GB included versus your stated monthly data need. Unlimited data scores full marks here.
  • Network fit (15%): matches your preferred operator. Set to "Any" and this axis cannot drag a plan down.
  • Feature match (20%): EU roaming, eSIM support, profile fit (newcomer, student, resident, tourist), and English customer support availability.
