Stride (free)
Free, simple, and good enough for most drivers. Auto-tracks drives, exports a tax-ready report. Best starter pick.
Everlance
Auto-classification with a swipe (work vs personal). Strong free tier; paid tier removes drive caps and unlocks team features.
MileIQ
Microsoft-owned. Polished UI, reliable auto-tracking. Free tier capped at 40 drives/month, premium runs about $60/year.
Hurdlr
Goes beyond mileage into income, expense, and quarterly tax estimates. Best for drivers who multi-app and want one dashboard.
Which one to pick
If you drive part-time, start with Stride free. If you drive full-time, Hurdlr or Everlance premium pays back the cost many times over by catching every deductible mile.
Frequently asked questions
Do rideshare apps track miles for me?
Uber and Lyft show on-trip miles in your year-end tax summary, but they do not capture miles driven between trips or to refuel, which are also deductible. You need your own tracker.
Is a mileage app worth it for part-time drivers?
Yes. Even 5,000 untracked miles per year is thousands of dollars in missed deductions.
