Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Visited at 4.6 against Countries Been's 3.7. Visited also leads on ratings volume (14K vs 30). Countries Been's advantage is review sentiment (63% vs 33%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Visited sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Countries Been sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Visited holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Visited has 14K ratings behind it against 30, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Visited's written reviews are positive against 63% of Countries Been's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Visited ships an update monthly, Countries Been every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
