# Migranto > Find the best place to live for you. Migranto lets people describe what matters to them in their own words, then uses AI to turn those preferences into measurable criteria and rank countries, regions, and cities around them. Migranto is a personalized place-discovery and decision platform for people deciding where to live or move next. Instead of relying on generic “best places to live” rankings or a fixed set of filters, users create their own ranking based on the things that actually matter to them. A user can describe almost any preference in natural language — from “I want to get by in English from day one” to “warm enough to swim, affordable housing, good tech jobs, and mountains nearby.” Migranto's AI interprets each criterion, determines what should count as a better or worse match, scores places against it, explains the reasoning, and combines the criteria into a personalized ranking. Migranto works at three levels of geographic detail: - **Countries** — compare destinations at the national level, including migration, immigration, economics, institutions, quality of life, family conditions, and climate. - **Regions** — go deeper within a chosen country and compare the areas that differ in jobs, housing, infrastructure, geography, climate, nature, and lifestyle. - **Cities** — compare individual places based on everyday urban life, including housing, transport, jobs, walkability, social life, culture, amenities, and lifestyle. There is no single “best place to live” on Migranto. The best place depends on the criteria and priorities of the person making the decision. The platform is free to use, requires no registration, and is available in ten languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Chinese, and Indonesian. ## Personalized matching Migranto provides personalized matching at three geographic levels: - [Match countries](https://migranto.io/matching) — compare countries worldwide based on criteria written in natural language. - [Match regions](https://migranto.io/matching/regions) — compare regions within a country and find the areas that best match your priorities. - [Match cities](https://migranto.io/matching/cities) — compare cities worldwide and find the places that best fit your preferred way of life. All three matching experiences use the same underlying approach. Users describe what matters to them in their own words and can add as many criteria as they want. Criteria do not have to come from a predefined list. Migranto's AI turns each user-written criterion into a scoring scale. The scale defines what constitutes a strong, moderate, or weak match, allowing the criterion to be evaluated consistently across places. Each place receives a score for every criterion together with an explanation of why it received that score. Multiple criteria are then combined into a personalized ranking. Results can be explored as: - a ranked list of places - a map showing where the strongest matches are located - country, region, or city-level comparisons Users can therefore create rankings that reflect their own priorities rather than following rankings created by publications, institutions, or other people. ## Geographic levels Migranto supports three levels of place comparison. ### Countries [Country matching](https://migranto.io/matching) compares countries worldwide using criteria that primarily depend on national conditions: immigration and legalization, economic conditions, taxes, institutions, personal freedoms, healthcare, education, safety, infrastructure, climate, and other country-wide factors. Every country also has a dedicated profile containing structured data and analysis. ### Regions [Region matching](https://migranto.io/matching/regions) helps users decide where inside a country to live. Regional comparisons can cover local job markets, salaries, housing, transport, access to major cities, healthcare, education, population density, climate, tourism pressure, beaches, mountains, countryside, and other geographically specific factors. ### Cities [City matching](https://migranto.io/matching/cities) focuses on everyday life in individual cities. Criteria can include housing, jobs, public transport, walkability, cycling, traffic, commute times, healthcare, schools, parks, nightlife, cafés, culture, social life, expat communities, beaches, mountains, climate, and more. ## Country framework Migranto's country profiles are organized around seven broad dimensions that cover the major factors involved in an international relocation decision: - **Migration trends** — immigration, emigration, diaspora, migration flows, and how movement patterns change over time - **Visas & legalization** — visas, residence permits, permanent residency, citizenship, and the difficulty of establishing legal status - **Work & finances** — salaries, cost of living, taxes, employment, and financial outcomes - **Language & culture** — language barriers, cultural proximity, adaptation, and communication - **Quality of life** — safety, healthcare, infrastructure, stability, freedoms, and everyday living conditions - **Family & children** — education, family friendliness, long-term stability, and conditions for raising children - **Climate & lifestyle** — climate, environment, geography, pace of life, and lifestyle These dimensions structure country information, but they do not limit personalized matching. Users can define criteria outside this framework in their own words. ## Country pages Every country has a dedicated hub at `/country/{slug}`. - `/country/{slug}` — country overview with key migration and population metrics, insights across the seven country dimensions, and navigation to detailed country data. ### Migration trends - `/country/{slug}/trends` — the country's migration history, including immigration and emigration trends since 1990, net migration direction, major changes, milestones, and global and regional rankings. - `/country/{slug}/immigrants` — the foreign-born population, countries of origin, regional breakdowns, and long-term immigration data. - `/country/{slug}/diaspora` — the population living abroad, destination countries, regional breakdowns, and long-term emigration data. ### Work & finances - `/country/{slug}/salaries` — salary data including average take-home pay per month, gross annual pay, industry-level differences, and international rankings across 160+ countries. Includes a calculator estimating potential earnings and savings based on a user's current work and income. - `/country/{slug}/cost-of-living` — cost-of-living data including average monthly spending, different standards of living, spending by category, and international rankings across 180+ countries. Includes a calculator estimating what a user's current lifestyle would cost in the country and the amount they could have left each month. ## Product principles ### Personalized rankings over generic rankings Migranto does not try to define the universally best country, region, or city. It lets each user define what “best” means for them and builds the ranking around those preferences. ### Natural language over fixed filters Users do not need to know which filters exist or how their preferences should be expressed. They can describe what they want naturally, and Migranto converts those statements into structured scoring criteria. ### Explainable scores Scores are accompanied by explanations so users can understand why a place performs well or poorly against a criterion. ### Country to city A country is often only the beginning of a relocation decision. Migranto lets users move from global country comparison to regional and city-level discovery within the same decision framework. ### List and map The same personalized matching results can be explored as a ranked list or geographically on a map, allowing users to understand both which places match best and where those places are located. ## Data and methodology Migranto combines structured real-world data with AI-generated interpretation. The AI is responsible for interpreting user-written criteria, constructing scoring scales, evaluating places against those criteria, and explaining the results. Underlying factual data is sourced from structured datasets and other documented sources. Migration statistics are derived from the **International Migrant Stock 2024** dataset published by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division (2024). Country salary and cost-of-living data are presented through dedicated country pages and calculators, with methodology and underlying data available through the platform. ## Core pages - [Home](https://migranto.io/) — introduction to Migranto's personalized place-ranking approach. - [Match countries](https://migranto.io/matching) — create a personalized ranking of countries using criteria written in natural language. - [Match regions](https://migranto.io/matching/regions) — create a personalized ranking of regions within a country. - [Match cities](https://migranto.io/matching/cities) — create a personalized ranking of cities. - [Countries](https://migranto.io/countries) — browse countries and explore their relocation profiles. - [Guides](https://migranto.io/guides) — long-form guides on choosing where to live, making the move, and settling in. - [Sitemap](https://migranto.io/sitemap.xml) — complete site sitemap. ## Social channels Migranto's official accounts: - [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@migranto_io) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/migranto.io/) - [TikTok](https://www.tiktok.com/@migranto_io) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/migranto-io/) - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61593751576031) ## Legal - [Privacy Policy](https://migranto.io/privacy) — how Migranto collects, uses, and protects user data. - [Terms of Use](https://migranto.io/terms) — terms governing use of Migranto and information about data sources. ## Summary Migranto is a personalized alternative to generic “best places to live” rankings.
