Pay-as-you-go eSIM, paid in crypto
Buy a bundle from $5.00, use it, done. Nothing renews, nothing is stored, nobody has your card — rebuy in 60 seconds whenever you need more.
No account · No KYC · Instant QR, email optional
Every plan here is pay-as-you-go by construction. You prepay a defined bundle at a defined USD price, it runs on its own validity, and then — nothing. No subscription to cancel, no auto-renew to forget, no balance to babysit, no card on file that could be charged. Crypto payment makes that structural: a wallet transfer carries no mandate to bill you again. When you want more, buying again takes about a minute — and with the tracking-code checkout, no two purchases are even linked to each other.

PAYG here vs subscription eSIMs vs balance models
| Prepaid bundles (here) | Subscription plans | Top-up balance models | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ongoing commitment | None — each purchase stands alone | Renews until you cancel | Balance sits with the provider |
| Card / identity on file | Nothing stored; crypto needs no mandate | Card on file, by definition | Account holds funds + identity |
| Cost certainty | Fixed USD price, printed upfront | Fine until you forget to cancel | Per-GB rates vary by region |
| When you're done | It just ends | You cancel (hopefully in time) | Residual balance stays locked in |
Pay-as-you-go FAQ
Is this a pay-as-you-go eSIM?
In the sense that matters: every plan is prepaid, used up on its own terms, and followed by nothing. No subscription, no auto-renew, no stored balance, no card on file — when you want more data, you buy another plan in under a minute. What we don't do is meter per-MB billing; you buy a defined bundle at a defined price.
Does anything auto-renew or auto-charge?
No — structurally impossible here. Crypto payments have no mandate to re-bill and we keep no card on file for card payments either. Every purchase is a one-time decision you make.
What happens when my data runs out?
The connection stops — nothing else. No overage charges, no surprise billing. Buy another plan whenever you like; with the tracking-code checkout that's about 60 seconds from decision to QR.
Do plans expire?
Each plan has a stated validity window (shown before you buy), starting from first connection at your destination — not from purchase, so buying early costs nothing. There's no penalty for letting one lapse; you just buy fresh next trip.
Is there a top-up feature?
Rebuying IS the top-up — deliberately. A top-up system needs an account and a stored identity; our model needs neither. Same store, same 60-second flow, a new QR (or the same destination's plan re-bought) whenever you need it.
Can I pay as I go with crypto only?
Yes — every purchase can be a standalone crypto payment (90 currencies were enabled at our last check, including BTC/Lightning, XMR, SOL and stablecoins). No bank, no card, no account linking one purchase to the next.
