Staymark counts Schengen 90/180, the UK Statutory Residence Test and the US substantial presence test from one trip log you enter yourself. It is free, and it is one option among several. Here is how it differs from four others, and where each is the better choice.

Staymark counts both, plus the US substantial presence test, from one trip log. Schengen Simple is Schengen only, and Ovrnite, TaxBird and Monaeo track tax residency automatically.
Yes. Staymark does not use GPS or background location: you enter your trips and it counts the days. Schengen Simple also works from the trips you enter. Ovrnite and TaxBird track automatically.
Yes. The tracker, the day counts and the trip forecast are free on iPhone, Android and the web, with no sign-up to start. Premium adds a PDF evidence pack and unlimited profiles for £3.99 a month or £24 a year.
It depends on how you want to log days. Staymark suits someone who is happy to enter trips and wants Schengen, UK and US rules in one place for free. TaxBird or Ovrnite suit someone who wants tracking with no data entry, and TaxBird adds US state and Canadian province counts.
