Yes, significantly. Most luxury resorts in Seychelles charge very high fees for Wi-Fi (e.g., €15-€25 per day), and it's often slow. Likewise, Seychelles is an "exotic" location for most US/UK/EU carriers, meaning you will pay the highest possible international roaming rates (often $14/day). A prepaid Cellesim eSIM is a one-time fee that is far cheaper than both.
