MileTruth vs Everlance
Everlance is built for the broad self-employed market; MileTruth is built for high-trip-volume gig driving. The clearest expression of that difference is the free tier: Everlance gives 30 auto-detected trips a month, which is generous for a realtor doing eight showings a week and useless for a delivery driver who does 30 trips in two shifts.
Paid, Everlance's Starter plan runs $10.99/mo or $89.99/yr, against MileTruth's planned $59.99/yr. Both track automatically. Neither difference is the important one.
The important one is that Everlance answers "how many business miles" and MileTruth also answers "what did those miles cost me and did the work pay." MileTruth is submitted for App Store review and not yet live; Everlance ships today on both platforms.

The 30-trip cap is the whole story on the free tier
A gig delivery shift is not one trip. It is a sequence of them: drive to the restaurant, drive to the customer, drive toward the next hotspot, repeat. Thirty auto-detected trips is roughly one and a half busy evenings.
That is not a criticism of Everlance's product design — it is a statement about who the product is for. Thirty trips a month genuinely covers a realtor, a home inspector, a mobile notary or a consultant. It does not cover anyone whose job is driving.
MileTruth's planned free tier is deliberately shaped differently: no trip cap, features gated instead. Free users get reliable tracking and the trip list, because the whole point of the product is that the log should be complete; the paid tier unlocks the net-pay analytics and the tax exports. Capping trips would cap the one thing the app is built to be good at.
Battery drain is a category problem, not an Everlance problem
Everlance reviewers cite battery drain. So do Driversnote reviewers, so do Hurdlr's, so do Gridwise's. This is not any one vendor being careless; it is the consequence of an architectural choice that most of the category made.
An app that holds a continuous high-accuracy location session burns power visibly and gets suspended by the operating system for it — which is why battery complaints and missed-trip complaints show up together in the same review sections. The alternative is to wake on motion activity and geofence crossings, which both platforms are designed to deliver cheaply even to a suspended app. That is MileTruth's approach, and it is the reason capture rate and battery life are treated as the same engineering problem rather than a trade-off.
How to measure whether your tracker is losing trips.
Where Everlance is the better choice
- You need receipts more than net pay. Everlance's expense and receipt capture is genuinely strong and MileTruth does not compete there.
- You are not a driver by trade. For a professional making a handful of business trips a week, the 30-trip free tier may cost you nothing at all.
- You need Android or web. MileTruth is iOS-first.
- You need it now. Everlance ships.
Where MileTruth is aimed
- High trip volume. No cap, and a capture engine designed for the 30-plus-trips-a-night pattern.
- Unpaid miles. The repositioning and to-the-pickup miles that are 30 to 50 percent of delivery driving and that late-starting trackers lose.
- The profit question. A personal cost-per-mile model and a real net hourly, so you can tell which platform and which hours are worth your car. Why gross pay misleads.
- 2026's two rates, applied on the correct side of June 30 in the export. Explainer.

About MileTruth
MileTruth is an iOS app from Baker Ventures LLC that tracks deductible business mileage for gig and delivery drivers and shows true net pay: what is left after mileage, fuel and self-employment tax, not what the platform showed you at acceptance, once you log your online hours. It is built for people driving several platforms in the same shift, and for anyone who needs a mileage log that would hold up if the IRS asked for it. The app is submitted for App Store review and launches automatically on approval.
Everything on this site is free and needs no account: the mileage deduction calculator, the per-platform pay breakdowns, and the answers, each one linked to the IRS publication or platform document it came from. MileTruth publishes the source for every number, including the 2026 split-year standard mileage rate, because a deduction you cannot substantiate is not a deduction.
Questions and answers
How many free trips does Everlance give you?
Everlance's free tier includes 30 automatically detected trips per month, plus unlimited manual trips, unlimited receipts and CSV export. A full-time delivery driver typically exceeds 30 trips within the first week of a month.
How much is Everlance paid?
Everlance's Starter plan is 10.99 dollars per month or 89.99 dollars per year as listed on Everlance's own pricing page in September 2026. Some third-party sources cite 8 dollars per month billed annually, which likely reflects a different tier — verify at source.
Does Everlance drain your battery?
Battery drain is a recurring complaint in Everlance reviews, as it is across most automatic mileage trackers. The underlying cause is continuous location polling. Trackers built on motion activity and geofence wake-ups use materially less power.
Is Everlance good for gig drivers?
It works, but Everlance targets the broad self-employed market — realtors, contractors, consultants — as much as gig drivers. Its 30-trip free cap and its lack of a net-pay calculation make it a weaker fit for high-trip-volume delivery work than for professionals doing a handful of client visits a week.
