GeoRank

GeoRank is a browser-based relocation research map for comparing places to live. Its homepage says users can explore nine data layers, pin up to 20 places, set a home location, compare each place as a delta against home, and ask an AI about the pinned shortlist. The layers include sunshine, temperature, rainfall, outdoor hours, tax, visas and residency, cost of living, geopolitical risk, and Nomad Pulse. The site reports 190-country coverage for sunshine, 183,000+ map tiles, approximately 5 km cells, and 10 passports across 47 visa destinations. GeoRank is a research aid rather than immigration, tax, financial, or safety advice; verify the underlying sources and current local rules before making a move.

✨ Key Features

• Interactive global map — Pan and zoom across locations and inspect data directly on the map.
• Nine switchable data layers — Toggle sunshine, temperature, rainfall, outdoor hours, tax, visas and residency, cost of living, geopolitical risk, and Nomad Pulse.
• Sunshine data calibration — The site describes a SARAH-3 and ERA5 combination calibrated against 219 ground stations.
• Shortlist pinning — Pin up to 20 places and keep the shortlist across sessions.
• Home-baseline comparison — Set where you live now and see each candidate as a relative delta rather than only an absolute score.
• Visa and residency lookup — Compare passport-based stay information across the destinations covered by the site.
• Cost and tax comparison — Review cost-of-living and tax indicators alongside climate data.
• AI shortlist chat — Ask questions about the pinned places; the chat uses the shortlist’s metrics rather than a generic knowledge base.
• Rankings and comparison pages — Browse sunniest-city, cheapest-country, and place-to-place comparison pages.
• Methodology and source context — Inspect the methodology and the stated data sources before interpreting a result.

💳 Pricing

The official homepage says “Free to start” and does not show public plan names, subscription prices, or a published paid tier. This listing therefore records the currently visible access as free to start and leaves any paid-plan details unverified. Data coverage, AI usage limits, account requirements, and future pricing may change; confirm them in the live app before relying on the service.
