Who it is for
A traveller deciding between roaming, a local SIM, and a hotspot before a longer trip.
Simcardo Connectivity Planner
Data usage estimates and connectivity option comparison
Overview
What Simcardo Connectivity Planner does
Simcardo Connectivity Planner works out how much mobile data a trip is likely to consume, then sets the ways of covering it against each other: carrier roaming, a local SIM or eSIM, a regional plan, or a portable hotspot.
Four approaches are weighed rather than one product recommended, and the estimate of expected usage is what the comparison rests on. The sample question in the record asks for data usage across a fortnight in Thailand.
The record positions the app as advisory rather than transactional. It estimates and compares; nothing in the description covers buying a plan or provisioning a line, and the developer is listed as Simcardo.
What stands out
It begins from an estimate of how much data a trip actually needs, rather than assuming that figure is already known.

Where Simcardo Connectivity Planner is listed
Simcardo Connectivity Planner is listed in the ChatGPT apps directory only. Simcardo has no connector under the same domain in the Claude directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them.
ChatGPT apps are built on MCP, and the same server can back a Claude connector, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one.
