Five ways to keep a mileage log for your taxes. They differ on three things that matter more than the feature list: what a year costs, where your driving history lives, and whether the app also tracks the hours you work.
| MileIQ | Everlance | Driversnote | Stride | Mile-Shift | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Price for unlimited tracking | $13.99/mo, or $11.66/mo billed annually (≈ $140/yr) | Starter $10.99/mo or $89.99/yr; Professional $19.99/mo or $119.99/yr | Pro $11/mo (no yearly price published; prices exclude taxes) | Free | $1.99/mo or $19.99/yr |
| Free tier | 40 drives per month | 30 auto-detected trips per month; the 7-day paid-plan trial asks for a card | 15 trips per month | Everything | 30 days free in the app, then your first month of subscription is free (new subscribers only); no account, no card |
| Where your trips live | Vendor's cloud (account required) | Vendor's cloud (account required) | Vendor's cloud (account required) | Vendor's cloud (account required) | On your phone. No server copy of where you've been; optional backup to your own iCloud Drive |
| How the free part is paid for | Subscriptions | Subscriptions | Subscriptions | Stride is an insurance marketplace; the free app is its front door | Subscriptions — nothing else, no ads, no data partners |
| Automatic drive detection | Yes | Yes (limited on free) | Yes | Yes | Yes — starts when you drive, stops when you park; manual start/stop too |
| Shift / hours timer | No | No (work hours only sort trips) | No (a work schedule only sorts trips) | No | Yes — clock in, pause, drive time inside the shift, net hours |
| Exports | CSV / PDF reports | CSV / PDF, tax filing on Professional | Report and trip-data export | Tax reports | CSV and PDF from the phone; JSON backup you own |
Who should pick what
- Stride if you want a free log and don't mind a cloud account; it's a solid free product, paid for by the insurance side of the business.
- Everlance, MileIQ or Driversnote if you want expense tracking, tax filing or team features and a $90–140 yearly bill is fine.
- Mile-Shift if you want the log and your hours in one place, priced like a coffee a month, with your driving history staying on your own phone.
Rates that follow the calendar
Mile-Shift carries the IRS, CRA (Canada), HMRC (UK) and ATO (Australia) mileage rates with their effective dates. The IRS business rate rose from 72.5¢ to 76¢ per mile on July 1, 2026; a mile you drove in July is priced at 76¢, a mile in June at 72.5¢, and the export states that each trip is priced at the rate on its own date. The app is in English, French, Spanish, German and Portuguese. See every 2026 rate and its effective date.
What "on your phone" means here
Trips, addresses and shifts are stored in a database inside the app on your device. There is no Mile-Shift server holding a copy. The app reaches the internet only to validate your subscription, to look up an address when you search for a place (OpenStreetMap's geocoder), to load map tiles for the area on screen (Google Maps on Android, Apple Maps on iPhone) and — on Android — to name a drive's start and end in the notification through the phone's own geocoder. You can turn address lookup off in Settings. Our privacy policy lists every connection.
