MileTruth vs Driversnote
Updated September 8, 2026
The short version: Driversnote pairs a free tier (15 trips/month) with automatic tracking around $11/mo, well-rated on both app stores. Its most-repeated complaint is battery drain — reviewers commonly report 20%% or more over a shift — alongside the usual missed-trip and beacon-reliability issues.
Comparison
| Driversnote | MileTruth (planned) | |
|---|---|---|
| Free tier | 15 trips/month | 30 trips/month |
| Paid | ~$11/mo | $7.99/mo or $59.99/yr |
| Battery target | Reviewers report 20%+/shift | Design target: ≤5%/8-hr shift (pre-launch, unverified in the field) |
Continuous high-accuracy GPS is the most battery-expensive way to detect a trip, which is part of what drives complaints across this whole category, not just Driversnote. MileTruth's plan uses low-power motion signals to decide when to turn on high-accuracy GPS, rather than running it continuously — a design choice aimed at that trade-off, not a result MileTruth can point to in the field yet since it hasn't launched.
