BorderCount tracks how many days you spend in each country and province, automatically, so you always know where you stand against the limits that matter. WHY IT EXISTS Cross the Canada-US border regularly and the days add up faster than you think. Spend too long in the United States and the IRS can treat you as a tax resident under the Substantial Presence Test. Spend too long outside your province and you can lose provincial health coverage. Neither rule announces itself - you find out afterwards. AUTOMATIC CROSSING DETECTION BorderCount records your border crossings in the background. There is no trip to log and no button to remember. It is event-driven rather than constant GPS: the app wakes when something suggests you may have crossed, takes a short high-accuracy reading, and goes back to sleep. DAY COUNTS YOU CAN TRUST - Substantial Presence Test, with the three-year weighting shown in full - Provincial and state residency day limits - Visa and permit day limits Counts update continuously, and the arithmetic is shown rather than hidden. WORKS WHERE YOU ARE Country and province are resolved from boundary data stored on your device, so detection keeps working on a plane, in the mountains, or at a rural crossing with no signal. RECORDS THAT HOLD UP Export a dated report of your day-by-day presence whenever you need to show your work - to an accountant, a lawyer, or at the border. Every record carries the date it was captured. PAST TRAVEL Add earlier trips by hand, or a quick monthly estimate, so your counts reflect the whole year rather than only the time since you installed the app. YOUR DATA Your travel history belongs to your account. You can export it, or delete your account and all of its data permanently, from inside the app at any time. SUBSCRIPTION BorderCount Pro unlocks the full app, and is offered as two auto-renewing subscriptions: BorderCount Pro Monthly and BorderCount Pro Annual. Prices are shown in your local currency on the subscription screen in the app, and in the App Store, before you confirm. Each includes a 7-day free trial.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Poparide at none against BorderCount's 2. Poparide also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). BorderCount's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
