How We Scored

The composite multiplies by 2 for a 0-10 display scale. Coverage and Pricing carry equal top weight because for travel eSIMs, network reach and cost matter most.

Country-specific adjustments for Morocco: Unlimited plan availability in Morocco adjusts the Pricing dimension to weight per-day unlimited rates alongside per-GB fixed rates. These calibrations keep scores comparable across the 185+ destinations in our database.

The scoring spread across 5 providers for Morocco is 1.5 points (HelloRoam at 9.5/10 down to Nomad at 8.0/10).
