Verdict

The call

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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Visited ships an update monthly, Countries Been every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
