Comparison
Nomad Tracker vs Bounded
Both apps count the days you spend in each country. Bounded here means the app by Wasl Apps LLC. This page puts them side by side using only what each developer publishes on the App Store and on their website, checked on October 20, 2026. Where a feature is not stated we say so instead of guessing.
The short answer
Pick Nomad Tracker if you want automatic GPS tracking, Schengen 90/180, the 183 day rule, the FEIE 330 day test and US state days in one app that needs no account, plus three ways to fill in the past: photo metadata, your calendar and your travel documents.
Pick Bounded if you want the most rated app on this list, an Android app, or UK Statutory Residence Test day bands and US Substantial Presence Test counters out of the box.
