Short answer
Polarsteps is built to record a trip as you go, so the usual reason to look elsewhere is planning one before you leave. For a multi-country trip with flights, stays and the visa rules between them, use NomadPoint on iPhone: booking emails and calendar import, a day-by-day plan, entry rules and Schengen 90/180 days for your passport, all free. For planning places with friends on Android or the web, Wanderlog. For bookings filed automatically, TripIt. Keep Polarsteps for the journal: plenty of people use both.
Why people look for a Polarsteps alternative
- It is built around tracking and sharing where you went, not planning flights and stays ahead.
- It does not tell you whether your passport gets you in, or how many Schengen days you have left.
- Flights, stays and activities for the weeks ahead need a second app anyway.

Questions
What is the best Polarsteps alternative for planning a trip?
On iPhone, NomadPoint: it puts flights, stays and activities on one plan and tracks entry rules and Schengen days for your passport, free. On Android or the web, Wanderlog. Neither replaces the Polarsteps journal, so many travellers plan in one and record in Polarsteps.
Does Polarsteps track visas or Schengen days?
No. Polarsteps records your route and photos; it does not calculate entry allowances. NomadPoint counts Schengen 90/180 days across the whole area and keeps entry rules for the passport you hold.
Can I use Polarsteps and a trip planner together?
Yes, and it is a common setup: plan the route, bookings and visa days in a planner such as NomadPoint or Wanderlog, then let Polarsteps record the trip as it happens.
Plan your next journey.
