Black Friday: is there a MileIQ sale?
MileIQ report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Nov 13, 2026
Best for automatic mileage logs on your phone
MileIQ records your drives in the background and you swipe each one as business or personal. The free plan stops at 40 drives a month, unlimited drives are $11.66 a month, and it only does mileage, with no desktop app.
Who MileIQ is for
- Fits if you drive a bit for work and want a log without starting and stopping it
- Works for small teams that reimburse mileage at set rates
Who MileIQ is not for
- Not for you if you drive more than 40 times a month and don't want to pay, as the free plan stops there
- Skip it if you need receipts or general expenses handled, since it only does mileage
- Watch out: Teams Lite can't submit or review reports, which starts at Teams
- Tight if you'd like to try a team plan first, as the 30-day trial is Teams Pro only
- Too light for anyone who wants listed integrations, as none are named
Why MileIQ gets a 2.4
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for money$11.66 a month on yearly billing ($13.99 monthly) for individuals, close to the middle of expense tools ($12). Team plans run $8 to $10 a user.
- CFree plan and trialFree for 40 drives a month, which a regular driver will pass. The 30-day trial is on Teams Pro only.
- CFeaturesIt does the mileage job fully, from automatic detection to reports, but that's a smaller job than expenses. Teams Lite can't submit or review reports.
- BEase of useNo rating on record, but you install the app and it tracks on its own. Swipe left or right to classify each drive.
- BPlatforms and integrationsiPhone, Android and a web dashboard for admins. The business page lists no desktop app and no integrations.

Keep MileIQ, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of MileIQ 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 38 of the 51 other spend and bill pay tools we grade. It costs $139.92 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. MileIQ’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.
What is MileIQ?
MileIQ is a phone app that records drives in the background so the user can sort each one as business or personal. Drivers submit mileage reports for taxes or reimbursement, and a team plan adds an admin dashboard for approving drives and setting mileage rates. The company says it was started in 2012 and has been independent since 2021.
Worth knowing
- The free plan stops at 40 drives a month; unlimited drives need a paid plan.
- Teams Lite does not include submitting and reviewing reports; that starts at the Teams plan.
- The business page names iOS and Android apps for drivers and a dashboard for admins; it lists no desktop app.
- The 30-day trial is listed only on Teams Pro.
Key features
- Automatic drive detection
- The app records drives in the background, so the user does not start or stop a log by hand.
- Swipe to classify
- Each drive is swiped right for business or left for personal. Drives can also be classified automatically from work hours, named locations and frequent drives.
- Mileage reports
- A report of business drives can be submitted with a tap, for tax records or for reimbursement.
- Team dashboard and approvals
- Team admins see all drives in one dashboard and approve or reject them, with multiple admins allowed.
- Custom mileage rates
- Teams can use the tax-compliant rates the app provides or set their own rates.
- Commute exclusion
- Team admins can set a team-wide commute distance that is deducted automatically.
