The best tax-residency tracker apps of 2026
The apps that count your days per country and warn you before you cross a tax-residency threshold — ranked by who each one suits best, with honest pros, cons and pricing.
Full disclosure: we make Yuravia, so treat #1 as our pick rather than a neutral verdict. We've aimed to be fair about what each competitor does best — and every claim links to a source you can verify.

How we ranked them
We weighed jurisdiction coverage and whether each rule is backed by an official source, how days are counted (anonymous manual entry vs automatic GPS), proactive alerting, language support, price, and extras like a Schengen calculator or a social map. Because we build Yuravia, the honest framing is: it wins for multi-country nomads on breadth and sourcing, while the incumbents lead in their own niches (US state residency, audit defense). Pick by where you actually travel.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best app to track tax-residency days in 2026?
For nomads splitting the year across many countries (and the Schengen area), Yuravia offers the widest sourced coverage — 75 jurisdictions with official sources, proactive alerts and free calculators. US-state snowbirds may prefer TaxBird or Monaeo. The right pick depends on where you travel; this page ranks each by who it suits best.
Is Yuravia really the best — you made it?
Fair question. We do make Yuravia, so treat #1 as our pick, not a neutral verdict. We have tried to be accurate about what each competitor does best, and every claim links to a source you can check. Rank the list by your own needs — for US-only state tracking, for example, an incumbent may suit you better.
What is the best free tax-residency tracker?
Yuravia’s Schengen 90/180 and 183-day calculators are free with no account, and several apps offer free tiers or trials. Compare current pricing on each tool’s own site before committing.
What is the best app for US state residency?
TaxBird and Monaeo are built around US state residency and audit defense. Days Monitor also owns the Substantial Presence Test calculator. Yuravia covers the US Substantial Presence Test too, but its strength is multi-country breadth.
