Which one is for you
Pick Everlance if
- Fits if you drive for work and need a mileage log for your taxes
- Works for small firms that reimburse staff by the mile
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free, as detection stops at 30 trips a month
- Watch out: the 7-day Starter trial needs a credit card and bills you at the end unless you cancel
- Not for you if you need approval rules and policy checks, as the page doesn't say which plan carries the team features
- Pricey if you pay monthly, at $10.99 for Starter against $89.99 for the year
- Too light for fixed-and-variable-rate (FAVR) programs, which go through the sales team with no price shown
Pick MileageWise if
- Fits if you are self-employed and need a mileage log for tax records
- Works for rideshare or delivery drivers and agents who drive for work in the US
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need receipts or expense reports, as it only logs mileage
- Pricey if you drive several vehicles, because every plan covers one vehicle
- Not for you if you want a free plan: after the 14-day trial a paid plan is required
- Watch out: an annual plan can move to Lifetime only if you pay the difference before the calendar year ends
- Watch out: it is built around US IRS logs, so it suits few drivers elsewhere

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
