Comparison
Nomad Tracker vs TrackingDays
Both apps count the days you spend in each country. TrackingDays here means the app by Lauco Trading Limited. 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 TrackingDays if you want a veteran tracker (around since 2014) with UK SRT and US Substantial Presence Test presets, and you do not need US states in the same app.
