Whereabouts

Whereabouts keeps a private, automatic record of which states and countries you spend your days in — the record you wish you had at tax time. Set it up once and forget it. Whereabouts quietly logs your location in the background using Apple’s battery-friendly significant-change service, turns it into states and countries, and counts your days. EVERY BORDER, ANNOUNCED Cross into a new state and get a welcome notification with its flag — and exactly how many days you spent in the place you just left. BUILT FOR TAX SEASON • Day counts for every state and country you visit — by year or any custom date range • A chronological timeline of every stay • One-tap CSV export for your accountant YOUR YEAR ON A MAP Every stay and every route, beautifully mapped. YOUR OWN “WHERE AM I” LINK Create a private web address that always says where you are — state, city, or exact spot, your call. Drop it in your website, your bio, or a script. It answers in JSON, plain text, or an SVG badge. Nobody can look you up: the only way in is a link you hand out. The link is free — no subscription needed. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No servers. No analytics. Your location history never leaves your iPhone — export it whenever you want, and deleting the app deletes everything. If tracking ever disconnects, Whereabouts tells you immediately, so your record never has silent gaps. Whereabouts helps you keep records — it isn’t tax advice. Residency rules vary by jurisdiction. SUBSCRIPTION Whereabouts is $39.99 per year after a 7-day free trial, or $4.99 per month. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bloomberg Professional at none against Whereabouts's 2. Whereabouts's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
