Best for mileage tracking with a free Basic plan
TripLog does automatic GPS mileage tracking, receipts and team approvals, with unlimited tracking on a free Basic plan. Reports and the web app need Premium at $59.99 a year, and team and FAVR plans are priced per user on a separate page.
Who TripLog is for
- Fits if you want free automatic mileage tracking and will pay only if you need reports
- Works for companies that pay mileage through payroll or accounting software
Who TripLog is not for
- Tight if you need yearly reports, because unlimited reporting and web access sit in Premium
- Skip it if you want a free trial of Premium, as there is one 7-day pass a year
- Watch out: team prices are $8 to $19 per user a month, with the billing term not shown
- Watch out: FAVR, Expense and Time are priced separately from Mileage
- Watch out: hardware is extra, at $79.99 for TripLog Drive and $19.99 for each Beacon
Why TripLog gets a 3.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- AValue for moneyPremium is $59.99 a year ($4.99 a month), under 60% of the $8.99 that the cheaper quarter of expense tools starts at.
- BFree plan and trialBasic is free for good, with unlimited automatic GPS tracking and basic expenses. Reporting is limited, with one 7-day Premium pass a year.
- BFeaturesMileage tracking, tax reports, receipts and expenses, team approvals and links to payroll and accounting tools. No gap in the core job shows on the listing.
- CEase of useThe page quotes a 4.8 App Store rating without a count, so we don't count it. Setup involves picking tracking options and, for some, buying hardware.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, iOS and Android with integrations such as QuickBooks, Xero, ADP and SAP Concur. No desktop app.

Keep TripLog, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of TripLog you could make: expense tracking, reports and time tracking. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 3.0 is higher than 69 of the 76 other spend and bill pay tools we grade. It costs $59.88 a year.
What you could make
- Expense tracking, reports and time tracking: 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.
- It plugs into other products, SAP Concur, QuickBooks and Xero among them, and has an API.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. TripLog’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.
