Roam Rule vs TripLedger
For people comparing residency-style day tracking with a broader travel record, alerts, and recent-travel context.
Compare
Roam Rule vs spreadsheets, generic trackers, and year-end rebuilds.
If your travel affects tax residency, Schengen time, visa limits, or accountant reviews, the real comparison is not just app versus app. It is whether your record stays usable when the stakes are higher.
Built for expats, aircrew, and globally mobile people rather than casual trip logging.
Designed around travel records, thresholds, alerts, and recent-travel context in one place.
Made to reduce spreadsheet admin and the last-minute scramble of rebuilding trips later.

Roam Rule
Spreadsheets
Generic trackers
Flight tracking apps
Manual rebuilds
Travel record you can trust
Keeps day-by-day travel context, review prompts, and next actions together.
Easy to drift out of date if you miss entries or forget to reconcile.
Often built for leisure travel, not tax or compliance pressure.
Useful for flights, but not usually built around a travel record for rules and review.
Usually means piecing together emails, screenshots, and memory later.
Schengen, visa, and residency awareness
Shows supported trackers, alerts, and evidence-backed signals in a way that is easier to act on.
Possible, but heavily manual and easy to break.
May count trips, but often lack the right focus or context.
May help aircrew with flights, but are rarely centred on thresholds and compliance-style visibility.
Usually too late by the time you notice a threshold problem.
Recent travel context
Brings map history, Journey Replay, and tracker views together.
No natural travel trail or route context.
Often show visits, but not the broader record and alerts together.
Strong for flight operations, weaker for a full travel record across routes, stays, and rules.
No live context at all.
Accountant or adviser review
Cleaner ongoing record that is easier to export and review later.
Depends entirely on how disciplined the updates were.
Often not built around accountant-ready review.
Not usually the place people organise a residency or stay-limit review.
Highest admin burden and easiest way to miss details.
What Roam Rule looks like
The point is not only to count days. It is to keep the right context close by.
Roam Rule is built for the people who need to see today's position, what has changed recently, and what may need attention next without stitching together multiple tools.
Core and Premium
Compare the essentials with the fuller Premium setup.
Core keeps one live tax residency tracker and the essential travel record together. Premium adds up to three live tax residency trackers, three shared limits and allowances, stronger alerts and Journey Replay.

Better fit
The real difference is what happens when someone needs answers.
Roam Rule is built for the moment when a border question, tax review, adviser request, or overstay risk means rough notes are no longer good enough.
