Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 38 of the 51 other spend and bill pay tools we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about MileIQ, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No rating on record, but you install the app and it tracks on its own.
- 1
Best for automatic mileage logs on your phone
MileIQ records your drives in the background and you swipe each one as business or personal.
- 2
Paid plans start at $11.66 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $11.66 per month, billed annually ($13.99 billed monthly).
- 3
There is a free plan
Automatic mileage tracking and auto-generated reports for 40 drives a month.
- 4
It runs on 3 platforms
iOS, Android and Web.
- 5
Automatic drive detection
The app records drives in the background, so the user does not start or stop a log by hand.
- 6
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.
- 7
Mileage reports
A report of business drives can be submitted with a tap, for tax records or for reimbursement.
- 8
A 2.4 GPA, above 38 of 51
That is against the other spend and bill pay tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
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 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 it 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
Good to know
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.
