Mileage tracker comparisons
Compare on capture rate first and price last. The difference between a $60 app and a $140 app is $80 a year. The difference between a tracker that captures 98 percent of your miles and one that captures 75 percent is, for a 20,000-mile driver, about $3,700 of deduction — roughly $1,100 of real tax. No vendor in this category publishes a capture rate, so the number you need is one you have to measure yourself.
The comparisons
How these pages are written
- Prices are taken from each vendor's own pricing page and dated. This category re-prices several times a year; verify before deciding.
- Competitors are described by what they are for, not by what they lack. Every app on these pages is the right answer for somebody.
- MileTruth is disclosed as ours everywhere it appears, and its status — in development, not yet released — is stated on every page it is on.
- Claims that come from a single test or a self-interested source are labelled as such. Where two sources conflict, both are given.
The one number nobody publishes
Every mileage app in this category has a support article about missed trips. None of them publishes a capture rate. That is not a coincidence — it is a number that would invite comparison, and no vendor wants to be first.
Until someone does, the honest position is: assume your tracker is losing something, and measure it. Photograph your odometer, drive a normal week, photograph it again, compare against the app's total including personal trips. Full method.
Questions and answers
Which mileage tracker is cheapest?
Stride is free with no paid tier at all. TripLog moved to free automatic tracking in 2026. Among paid options, TripLog Premium and MileTruth sit around 59.99 dollars a year, Everlance at 89.99, Gridwise at 107.99, QuickBooks Solopreneur at 120, and MileIQ at 139.92.
Which mileage tracker is most reliable?
There is no independent cross-category benchmark, which is itself the story. The only trustworthy answer is your own odometer test over a full week. Every vendor in the category has a help-centre article about missed trips, and none of them publish a capture rate.
What should I compare mileage trackers on?
Three things, in order. Whether it captures trips without you pressing anything, whether it dates every trip so 2026's two rates apply correctly, and whether it tells you what the driving cost you. Price is the least important variable.
