Travel tracker comparison
Voyy vs Been — which travel tracker should you use?
Voyy and Been both track where you have been. Voyy adds a memory layer Been does not — and gives you more in the free tier.
Download VoyyTL;DR
Been is the category veteran, cross-platform and tenured since 2014. Voyy is the modern iPhone-first alternative with a memory-journal layer (Spotify soundtracks, viral flag calendar, richer trip pages), deeper regional coverage, and a more generous free tier — cities are included for free in Voyy, paid in Been.

What Been does well
Been has been on the App Store since 2014 and the team has spent more than a decade polishing the core experience. The country list is exhaustive, the world map is clean, and sharing your progress is straightforward.
Where Been really pulls ahead is cross-platform support. It is available on iOS, Android, and the web, which matters if you switch between devices, use an Android phone, or want a dashboard you can open on your laptop. If you are not committed to iPhone, Been is still a solid default.
Where Voyy pulls ahead
Voyy takes the same "mark where you have been" concept and adds a memory-journal layer Been does not have. Each trip is its own page with a cover photo, city list, notes, and — uniquely in Voyy — a Spotify soundtrack. It is the only travel tracker with Spotify integration, which turns every journey into something you can replay later.
Voyy also ships the viral flag calendar — an export format that has taken over travel Instagram and TikTok. Your year as a flag grid, light or dark mode, perfect for Stories and Reels. Been does not offer anything comparable.
The free tier is more generous too. In Voyy, city tracking is included for free. In Been, cities are a paid feature — and if you want to track where you have been at city level rather than just country level, that matters.

Who Been is for
Been is a great pick if you are on Android, want cross-platform sync with a web dashboard, or prefer a decade-old app with a mature country-tracking workflow. It is the safe choice for a simple visited-countries checklist across devices.
Who Voyy is for
Voyy is the better fit if you are on iPhone and want your travel tracker to double as a memory journal. If you care about how your trips look and feel — with photos, Spotify soundtracks, the flag calendar, and the most granular European regional coverage available on iOS — Voyy is built for you. It is also the stronger choice if you want city-level tracking without paying for it.
Verdict
If you are on Android or need cross-platform sync, stay with Been. If you are on iPhone and want a travel tracker that also feels like a memory keeper — with Spotify, the flag calendar, faceless sharing, and European regional depth Been does not offer — Voyy is the modern alternative worth trying.
Frequently asked questions
Is Voyy free?
Yes. Voyy is free to download and includes country tracking, city tracking, trip pages with photos and notes, the flag calendar, and home screen widgets. Voyy Pro is an auto-renewable subscription that unlocks European regions, US states, 400+ subdivisions, advanced travel stats, unlimited trip photos, watermark-free sharing, and cloud sync.
Is Voyy on Android?
No. Voyy is iPhone only and distributed exclusively on the iOS App Store. There is no Android version, web version, or desktop version. If cross-platform support is essential, Been is currently the better choice.
Can I track cities in Voyy like I can in Been?
Yes — and in Voyy city tracking is free. In Been, city-level tracking is part of the paid tier. Voyy's free tier includes country tracking, city tracking, trip memories, and the flag calendar.
What is the flag calendar?
The flag calendar is a Voyy-exclusive export format: your year rendered as a grid of country flags, showing where you were every month. It is the viral format everyone is sharing on Instagram Stories, Reels, and TikTok. Light and dark mode, watermark removed on Pro.
Does Voyy track European regions and subdivisions?
Yes, with Voyy Pro. Voyy tracks European regional groupings like the Nordics, Balkans, and Mediterranean, plus 400+ subdivisions across 6 countries. This is the most granular regional coverage available on iOS — Been does not offer European region tracking at all.
Can I import my Been data into Voyy?
There is no direct Been-to-Voyy import at this time. If you are switching from Been, you can add your visited countries manually in Voyy in a few minutes — Voyy is built around manual entry, which means adding a large history quickly is straightforward.
