> Automatic mileage tracking and reports for drivers and teams

Checked Nov 12, 2026 · graded Nov 13, 2026 by ToolGPA.

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.

## 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.

## Good for

- Self-employed drivers keeping a mileage log for taxes
- Small teams reimbursing employee mileage
- People who drive only a little: the free plan covers 40 drives a month

## 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.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.4 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. 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.

- **Value for money: C.** $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.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** Free for 40 drives a month, which a regular driver will pass. The 30-day trial is on Teams Pro only.
- **Features: C.** It 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.
- **Ease of use: B.** No rating on record, but you install the app and it tracks on its own. Swipe left or right to classify each drive.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** iPhone, Android and a web dashboard for admins. The business page lists no desktop app and no integrations.

## Keep it, 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.

- You could make: Expense tracking and reports: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
