In fact, Everlance does so much that it’s surprising it handles mileage tracking so well. It starts and stops automatically as you drive and keeps a history of your trips complete with destinations and map views. And the app organizes all this for your taxes and records. The app tracks up to 30 trips each month for free, but to get the most out of the app you’ll need to upgrade to one of the paid plans. Everlance Premium is $5 per month while Premium Plus, which throws in one-on-one training and support, costs $10 per month. There’s a heatmap, for example, which lets you see where other drivers are working in real-time. Hotspot generates a list of nearby locations that are reported as popular by other drivers. And Compass builds a route for you that takes you to historically active locales. Installing SherpaShare gets you a 14-day free trial. After that, monthly plans start at $6 per month. If you like, you can also take part in the referral program, which lets you earn money when your friends join SherpaShare as well. TripLog can even work without the app; if you want to save your phone’s battery, you can even buy an $80 USB dongle that tracks your miles and syncs with your phone afterward. TripLog has a lot up its sleeve, and so it should be no surprise to learn it isn’t free. You get to try it for 30 days, but after that, the paid plans start at $5 per month. The app is completely automatic, tracking miles without any input from you at all. And when the drive is over, MileIQ makes sure you don’t forget to classify your trips as personal or business by collecting all the unclassified trips in one place, complete with gorgeous maps of the route. You get 40 free drives each month, but you’ll want to upgrade to the paid version for $6 per month for unlimited trip logging. Even better, if you’re a Microsoft Office 365 subscriber, it’s included for free. You only get five days of free use of the app, which honestly, hardly seems enough to get a good sense of the app, especially given how expansive it is. After that, you need to pay $8 per month, which is also a bit pricey, and is the most expensive app in this roundup. Unfortunately, Stride’s mileage tracking is wonky. Yes, it is automatic, sort of. You need to remember to start tracking when you get in the car. After that, it’ll track everywhere you go during the day. And then you need to stop tracking when you’re done. Forget to tap the buttons, and you’ll need to enter miles manually.
