Platform Comparison
1,912 verified visa programmes across 200 countries versus a 21-question quiz covering roughly 30 destinations. Here is how they compare.
Expatsi is a quiz-based platform that asks users 21 questions about their lifestyle preferences, budget, and goals, then recommends a handful of countries to consider moving to. It was built with American expats in mind and covers around 30 popular destinations including Portugal, Mexico, Colombia, Thailand, and Spain.
The service produces a paid report ($29) that outlines why certain countries match your preferences. It focuses on lifestyle fit rather than visa eligibility, meaning the recommendations may not account for whether you can actually obtain a visa to live in the suggested country.
WhereToEmigrate is a visa intelligence engine that matches your profile against 1,912 verified visa programmes across 200 countries and territories. It goes beyond lifestyle preferences: the scoring engine considers your nationality, profession, savings, education, language skills, age, and family situation to determine which programmes you are actually eligible for.
The free assessment gives you a ranked list of matching programmes. The Full Report (EUR 10) includes programme-by-programme breakdowns, processing timelines, cost estimates, and direct links to official government application pages.
Expatsi and WhereToEmigrate serve different needs. Expatsi is a lifestyle quiz that helps Americans narrow down a shortlist of popular expat destinations based on personal preferences. It is a reasonable starting point if you already know you are eligible to live abroad and just want inspiration.
WhereToEmigrate goes further. It checks your actual eligibility against 1,912 visa programmes, accounts for your nationality, profession, finances, and language skills, and tells you not just where you might enjoy living but where you can legally move. The free assessment means you can see your results before deciding whether to pay for the full report.
For Americans exploring well-known destinations, Expatsi provides a curated experience. For anyone who wants to understand their real immigration options across the entire world, WhereToEmigrate offers significantly more depth at a lower price point.
No payment required. See your top matches in under 5 minutes.
Expatsi was designed primarily for Americans, so its 21-question quiz is tailored to US citizens. However, it only covers around 30 countries and lacks detailed visa programme data. WhereToEmigrate covers 200 countries with 1,912 verified visa programmes, making it more comprehensive even for Americans who want to explore less obvious destinations.
Expatsi charges $29 for a single report. WhereToEmigrate offers a free initial assessment and charges just EUR 10 for a full report covering all matched visa programmes across 200 countries. The free assessment alone provides a ranked list of your top matches.
Yes. WhereToEmigrate supports all nationalities. The scoring engine factors in your passport, bilateral agreements, regional blocs, and language skills to produce truly personalised results regardless of your country of origin.
WhereToEmigrate covers 1,912 verified visa programmes across 200 countries and territories. Expatsi covers approximately 30 countries with a general recommendation approach rather than programme-level matching.
WhereToEmigrate sources data directly from government immigration authority websites and verifies every programme with official source URLs. The database is updated continuously with legislative changes. Expatsi does not publicly disclose its data sources or update frequency.
