Where it sits in the data
MegaEsim's $2.4K in the last 30 days is higher than 84% of the 5,602 projects with payment-verified revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $150. Within the “Travel” category (95 projects) it is higher than 76% (category median $289). Snapshot: 2026-09-02 to 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.
Currency
All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.
Could you build something like this?
My view: demand would come from travellers who want data without a physical SIM, while the stronger business opportunity is serving resellers, travel agencies, distributors, and enterprises that need repeatable fulfilment across many destinations.
My view: distribution would need to come through direct search, reseller partnerships, travel-agency relationships, affiliate channels, and API integrations. The hard parts are regulatory coverage, dependable eSIM fulfilment, payment handling, customer support, and competing against established travel and connectivity businesses.
Verdict: Hard to replicate.
One thing to take from it
The clearest product shape is not a single consumer purchase but a connected ordering system: wallet-funded retail, account-specific business pricing, branded delivery, and API access serve different levels of the same eSIM catalogue.
