Google Fi is the strongest carrier option here because international data is part of the plan rather than an add-on. Fi's plans page says Unlimited Premium, at $65 per month for one line, includes 50 GB of high-speed data in 200+ destinations and 256 kbps after that, plus calls from the US to 50+ destinations. The Flexible plan costs $20 per month for one line and charges $10 per GB for data at home and abroad in the same 200+ destinations. That makes Fi the least work of any option on this list: you land, turn on roaming and keep your own number for bank codes and calls home. Value depends on how much you travel. A traveler who uses 3 GB on a week abroad pays $30 in data on Flexible, while a prepaid Europe eSIM can cost less. Fi also only helps US residents, and the cheapest unlimited tier, Unlimited Essentials, has no international data.
