Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
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 TripLog is for

- Watch out: FAVR, Expense and Time are priced separately from Mileage

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
