In a 2022 analysis, both embedded SIM (eSIM) and integrated SIM (iSIM) solutions averaged lower costs across the lifetime of all technologies using them such as smartwatches, cars, and the Internet of Things (IoT). The use of remote SIM provisioning (RSP) in particular was shown to reduce costs by an average of ** percent, though traditional removable plastic SIMs showed the highest lifetime costs across all categories. The low upfront cost of traditional SIMs was cancelled out by the cost savings associated with eSIM and iSIM regarding lower data tariffs and logistics simplification, according to the source.
