Nomad covers “over 200+ destinations” with per-gigabyte pricing from around €0.53. Its own page says some of its eSIMs include a local phone number, without saying which ones, how many, or whether that number can call and text. Numero eSIM publishes 188 countries where one eSIM carries data, calling minutes and a real number, and 39 countries where you can buy the number on its own.
On travel data, Nomad is a strong and clearly priced product: €0.53 a gigabyte in Turkey, €0.71 in the US, across 200+ destinations. The vague row is the one this comparison turns on: Nomad says some of its eSIMs include a local phone number, and gives no detail. Numero eSIM publishes the list, the price and what the number does.

What if you need minutes as well as data?

Nomad's per-gigabyte pricing is among the clearest in the category and it covers 200+ destinations against Numero eSIM's 181. The one row it leaves vague is the one that decides whether you can be reached: which eSIMs carry a number, and what that number does. Numero eSIM publishes 188 countries for the full eSIM and the price of each.
Nomad's own copy suggests keeping your home number for calls and texts while the eSIM handles data, which is sound advice for a data-only product. Numero eSIM covers the case that advice does not: when you want to stop handing out your home number, or when you need a local line in the country you are in. It publishes and prices 39 countries of numbers and 188 of full eSIM.
If the trip needs data and nothing else, Nomad is cheaper per gigabyte than most of the field and its destination list is wider than Numero eSIM's. It also describes itself plainly as a data product.
The nearest match to the whole portfolio: eSIM, data, phone numbers, calls and SMS in one app. Compared with Numero eSIM on what each side publishes, price by price.
Data in 170 countries with a free, ad-supported tier; no number and no calling plan. Numero eSIM is for the trips where free data is not the whole requirement.
Data eSIMs in 200+ destinations; its own page says the eSIM cannot make calls or send or receive SMS. Numero eSIM's full eSIM adds minutes and a real number.
