Compare FARON with other ways to save trips
A pin in Google Maps, a note on your phone, a public travel feed or one private archive. These comparisons show what each approach is designed to do — and where FARON is different.
Not a social network
Save the trip for the future, not for the feed
Instagram and Polarsteps do a different job when the trip needs to be shared. FARON is built for the private archive around the road.
Show off moments
Instagram fits when photos and the moment should be shared in a social feed.
Polarsteps
Let others follow along
Polarsteps fits when the trip should become a story others can follow.
FARON
Build your private archive
FARON fits when you want to save trips, nights and stops so you can find them and plan better later.
