## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 3.0 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. 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.

- **Value for money: A.** Premium is $59.99 a year ($4.99 a month), under 60% of the $8.99 that the cheaper quarter of expense tools starts at.
- **Free plan and trial: B.** Basic is free for good, with unlimited automatic GPS tracking and basic expenses. Reporting is limited, with one 7-day Premium pass a year.
- **Features: B.** Mileage 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.
- **Ease of use: C.** The 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.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, iOS and Android with integrations such as QuickBooks, Xero, ADP and SAP Concur. No desktop app.

## Keep it, 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.

- You could make: Expense tracking, reports and time tracking: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, SAP Concur, QuickBooks and Xero among them, and has an API.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
