Trāce is a map of everywhere you've been, and it's free. No subscription, no ads, no account. Mark the countries you've visited, lived in, have booked, or want to see next. Trāce fills them in on a world map that's been drawn to look like an atlas rather than a satnav: no roads, no buildings, no pins, just land, water, borders and names. It's a globe, so you can spin it and zoom right in. It keeps the count for you. How many countries, how many continents, and what share of the world that really is. THE PLACES THAT AREN'T THEIR OWN COUNTRY Puerto Rico, Hong Kong, Macau, Greenland, Guam, Aruba, the US and British Virgin Islands, French Polynesia, the Cayman Islands and more. 44 territories in all, counted separately from the 198 countries, so your country total stays honest. ALL 50 US STATES States get their own map, their own stats and their own share card, Washington DC included. Other travel trackers charge extra for states. Here it's part of the app. FIVE THEMES Paper, Daybreak, Tide, Midnight and Ember. Your theme goes everywhere: the map, the lists, the share card, and the app icon on your Home Screen. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Tap a country on the globe, or tap the box on any row, to mark it Visited, Lived, Booked or Want to visit - Read a list of countries without checking a key, because each status has its own mark - Add 44 territories and islands, counted separately from countries - Track all 50 US states and Washington DC on their own map - Browse your places by continent, with progress for each one - Search for the small places that are hard to hit on a globe - Share your map as a card in your current theme, to Instagram, Messages, or anywhere - Keep your map on your other devices through your own iCloud - Use it offline. No signal needed WHAT IT COSTS Nothing. Other travel maps charge for US states, for regions, or for a subscription. Trāce gives you all of it free, with no ads and no in-app purchases. PRIVATE BY DESIGN There's no account to make and nothing to cancel. Your travel history lives on your device and syncs through your own iCloud if you want it on more than one. It never touches a server of ours, and we never see your map. Trāce is the free flagship of the Āpex Suite from HYTimes App Studio. Start with the first country you remember. The map does the rest.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Trāce at none against Journi's 1. Journi's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 weeks) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
