TripLog is a mature mileage tracker with tax-ready reports, flexible modes, and automatic monthly summaries. Works reliably in manual mode. The main problem is that the BT beacon auto-tracking misses trips inconsistently, and users only find out at the end of the month.
Praised: Flexible tracking modes, automatic monthly report, support for multiple businesses in one account
Complaints: BT beacon silently skips trips, settings reset after updates and months of data are lost, annual report was removed and is now monthly only
Best for: Self-employed workers and landlords who log mileage manually or by schedule and need clean tax exports

Hurdlr is a multi-tool for freelancers combining mileage, expenses, and taxes in one place. A plus for couriers and real estate agents. The downside is bank connections drop constantly and the tracker splits one trip into dozens of segments at every stop.
Praised: Combines mileage, income, and expenses in one interface, simplifies tax prep
Complaints: Bank disconnects repeatedly and creates duplicate transactions, tracker chops every trip into fragments at each stoplight
Best for: Couriers and self-employed workers who want a single mileage and expense log and can tolerate bank sync failures

MileIQ accurately tracks mileage for tax reporting and has worked reliably for years, but an aggressive price jump from $60 to $140 a year with no new features is pushing loyal users to competitors.
Praised: Automatic trip detection, easy personal vs. business split, clean export for accountants, stable performance over multiple years
Complaints: Price doubled from $60 to $140 a year with no added value, occasionally misses trips, support only responds through an AI bot, no automatic toll tracking
Best for: Freelancers, real estate agents, and road-heavy professionals who need clean mileage logs for taxes and are okay with the price

An automatic mileage tracker for self-employed workers and couriers with tax reporting. Runs in the background and saves time at tax time, but a persistent banner blocks GPS and there are transaction bugs.
Praised: Automatic trip tracking, tax export, bank card integration, saves real money on deductions
Complaints: Banner covers navigation while driving, no undo button, duplicate trips, bank linking issues, account deletion is difficult
Best for: Couriers, freelancers, and gig workers who need automatic mileage tracking for taxes

A maintenance log for multiple vehicles with receipt photo attachments. Strong on support and long-term record storage, weak on rigid pricing and login issues.
Praised: Stores years of service history with attached receipt photos, convenient for owners of multiple vehicles
Complaints: Occasional login problems, one-vehicle limit on the free tier, upgrading from personal to fleet plan jumps to $100 per month with nothing in between
Best for: Responsible owners of multiple vehicles who want a complete service history
