Where to buy a prepaid SIM card with data in Batumi and how much does it cost?

TL;DR
Easiest option is an official Magti office (starter pack from 7 GEL with 1.5GB + 100 minutes). In shopping malls, prices for 2-week unlimited data vary wildly — from 50 to 100 GEL, and small kiosk vendors can be unreliable about what's actually included.
What the community said
Magti is a popular budget carrier: a starter pack costs about 7 GEL and includes 1.5GB of data plus 100 minutes to other networks. You can register up to two SIM cards per foreign passport.

It's easier to know in advance where to go — head straight to an official Magti office rather than random vendors, similar to knowing beforehand where to get a transport card or currency exchange.

In a large Batumi shopping mall there are several carrier stalls, each with a price sign. The cheapest deal found was unlimited data for 2 weeks at 50 GEL from one vendor, while others charged up to 100 GEL.

A small kiosk a few blocks from the mall offered 15GB for 2 weeks at 55 GEL, but the connection cut out after just 2 days once 2GB was used. The seller silently added another 15GB for 7 more days instead of explaining the plan, even though the trip was only 12 days — an extra 7 GEL top-up was needed to sort it out.
