Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 55 of the 76 other spend and bill pay tools we grade
MileageWise logs business mileage through an automatic tracking app and a web dashboard, and produces mileage logs formatted for IRS records. It can also build a log from a Google Maps Timeline export. Plans are sold per vehicle, with monthly, annual and lifetime options.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about MileageWise, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You choose a tracking method and set up each vehicle before the log is useful.
- 1
Best for mileage logs built for IRS audits
MileageWise tracks business miles automatically and builds logs formatted for IRS records.
- 2
Paid plans start at $8.99 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $8.99 per vehicle / month, billed monthly.
- 3
You can try it first
14-day free trial, no credit card required
- 4
It runs on 3 platforms
Web, iOS and Android.
- 5
Automatic trip tracking
Four methods: vehicle movement in the background, car Bluetooth, phone charging, or manual start and stop.
- 6
Two distance modes
Calculates an optimal door-to-door distance or records the actual route line, with backup mileage capture if tracking is interrupted.
- 7
Audit-oriented logs
Checks trips for inconsistencies the vendor describes as IRS red flags before generating a mileage log.
- 8
A 2.4 GPA, above 55 of 76
That is against the other spend and bill pay tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
The plain part of MileageWise you could make: expense tracking and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 1 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.

The report card
Best for mileage logs built for IRS audits
MileageWise tracks business miles automatically and builds logs formatted for IRS records. It does that one job and nothing else, plans are per vehicle, and there is no free plan once the 14-day trial ends.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | $8.99 per vehicle a month, $69.99 a year (about $5.83 a month) or $179.99 once, against $8.99 for the cheaper quarter of expense tools. The lifetime price is under two years of the category's middle subscription. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A 14-day trial with no credit card, and no free plan after it. |
| Features | C | Automatic tracking by movement, Bluetooth or charging, two distance modes, audit checks and a Google Maps Timeline import. It does the mileage job fully, but it is a smaller job: no receipts or expense reports. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You choose a tracking method and set up each vehicle before the log is useful. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, iOS and Android. No desktop app, and the only integration listed is Google Maps Timeline. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who MileageWise is for
- 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
Who it is not for
- 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
Good to know
Good for
- Self-employed people who need a mileage log for tax records
- Real estate agents, rideshare and delivery drivers
- People reconstructing past years' mileage from Google Timeline
Worth knowing
- Each plan covers one vehicle; drivers using several vehicles interchangeably need a plan for each.
- Annual plans can be upgraded to Lifetime only by paying the difference before the end of the calendar year of purchase.
- It is built around US IRS mileage logs and does not handle receipts or other expense reports.
- There is no free plan; after the 14-day trial a paid plan is required.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
The plain part of MileageWise you could make: expense tracking and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 1 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.4 is higher than 55 of the 76 other spend and bill pay tools we grade. It costs $107.88 a year.
What you could make
- Expense tracking and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
What this rests on. MileageWise’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
