Everlance vs Hurdlr: Which Mileage and Expense App for Drivers

Pick Everlance if miles are the point and you want automatic tracking to be the thing that just works.

Pick Hurdlr if you want a live tax estimate and a fuller set of books, and you are comfortable that automatic mileage detection sits on the paid tier.

Both are honest tools. Neither one changes where your next fare comes from.

Everlance is built around automatic drive detection. It runs in the background, records your trips on its own, and you swipe each one business or personal. The mileage log it produces is IRS compliant, which is the whole reason to keep one.

Its free plan is called Basic, and the number that matters is 30 automatically detected trips per month. Beyond that you can still add trips by hand, without limit, along with receipt uploads and manual expense and revenue tracking. For a part-time driver, 30 automatic trips may genuinely be enough. For anyone driving most days, it is not, and that cap is what moves drivers to a paid plan.

Everlance lists Starter at $8.99 per month or $69.99 per year, which removes the trip cap and gives you unlimited automatic mileage tracking plus custom IRS compliant reporting. Professional is listed at $99.99 per year and adds automatic expense tracking, an AI deduction finder, 1099 tax filing, audit defense, and priority support. Both figures were taken from everlance.com/pricing on September 22, 2026.

Plan names and prices change, and third-party sites often quote older figures. Check Everlance's own pricing page before you subscribe.

Hurdlr comes at the same driver from the accounting side. It tracks income, expenses, and mileage, and its signature feature is a running tax estimate that updates as you work, so what you owe is a number you watch rather than a surprise in April.

The free plan covers income, expenses, and tax calculations, and it does track mileage. The catch worth knowing before you download it: automatic mileage tracking is not in the free plan. On free you are entering trips yourself. If automatic detection is the reason you wanted the app, the free tier is not the version you are picturing.

Hurdlr Premium is $9.99 month to month, or $100 per year, and that is the tier that turns on automatic mileage tracking, automatic finance tracking, speed tagging, custom expense and mileage rules, and the detailed tax estimates. Hurdlr Pro is $200 per year and goes further into real bookkeeping with invoicing, accounting tools, financial reports, an accountant invite, and annual tax filing included. Hurdlr does not put these numbers on its pricing page. Both figures come from Hurdlr's own help documentation, checked in August 2026.

As with Everlance, confirm current pricing at the source before you subscribe.

Free plan. Everlance gives you 30 automatic trips a month. Hurdlr gives you manual mileage with a tax estimate. If you want automation without paying, Everlance's free tier is the more useful of the two. If you want a tax number without paying, Hurdlr's is.

Automatic mileage. Both do it well. Everlance includes it free up to the cap. Hurdlr puts it behind Premium.

Taxes. Hurdlr leans harder here, with the running estimate as its centerpiece. Everlance answers taxes at the Professional tier with filing and audit defense bundled in.

Bookkeeping depth. Hurdlr Pro goes furthest, into invoicing, financial reports, and an accountant invite. If you want your driving to be run like a set of books, that is the deeper tool.

Price. They land close. Everlance Starter is $8.99 a month, Hurdlr Premium is $9.99 a month or $100 a year. Neither price is the reason to choose one.

Who each fits. A part-time driver who wants free automatic tracking leans Everlance. A driver who wants to watch the tax bill and eventually keep real books leans Hurdlr.

Here is the limit both apps share, and it has nothing to do with which one is better.

Everlance and Hurdlr measure. They tell you how far you drove, what you spent, and what you owe. Every one of those numbers is a record of work that has already happened, on rides the app assigned you.

Neither one can bring a passenger back.

You can run the best mileage log of your driving life and still open the app tomorrow with an empty queue, waiting to be matched with a stranger. The rider you got along with last Tuesday, the one who tipped and asked for your card, has no way to reach you. When they need a ride, they open the app and take whoever it assigns. You are back at the start of the line.

That is not a flaw in Everlance or Hurdlr. It is outside what a tracking app was ever built to do. But it is the thing that decides what you earn.

SOLODRIVE.PRO gives you a booking page at your own handle.

When a passenger has a good ride with you, you share your link, or they scan your QR code at drop-off. Next time they need a ride, they can book you directly instead of opening the app and taking whoever it assigns. The app made the introduction. The booking page is how that introduction becomes a customer.

You can mark a good rider as a regular. The rider agrees, their card is saved, and the ride bills automatically every week. A daily commuter rides ten times a week. That is recurring income from a passenger the apps treated as a one-time match.

You also keep a list of your own riders, and you can log what the car actually costs you as you go. Oil, tires, brakes, registration, and the upkeep that never makes it out of the glovebox.

For most drivers, yes, and that is a fine answer.

SOLODRIVE.PRO lets you log your earnings across platforms so you can track what you make and stay tax-ready. You enter what Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, or a private client paid you, and those figures sit in the same place you take your bookings. On the Pro tier and above that includes a Schedule C tax-ready view. Basic earnings and mileage figures render on every plan.

The miles on every ride you drive through SOLODRIVE.PRO are logged automatically, on every plan. That is a driver-shaped tax picture, not a general ledger. If you want automatic GPS drive detection, Everlance and Hurdlr both do that and SOLODRIVE.PRO does not. The tools do not conflict. Track your miles with whichever app fits, and still hand a good passenger a booking link at the end of the ride.

On a direct booking through SOLODRIVE.PRO, the platform fee is a fraction of what the apps take.

You start free. The Free plan is 12% per ride, with a $2.00 per-ride minimum. The paid tiers lower the fee as you grow, and the Elite tier carries no platform fee at all. The fee is the percentage or that plan's minimum, whichever is greater. None of it touches the rides you take on Uber or Lyft.

Is Everlance or Hurdlr better for Uber and Lyft drivers?

Neither is simply better. They start from different places. Everlance starts with mileage and gives you 30 automatically detected trips a month on its free Basic plan, so a part-time driver can get real automatic tracking without paying. Hurdlr starts with bookkeeping and puts a live, running tax estimate at the center, though automatic mileage tracking requires its paid Premium tier. Choose Everlance if automatic miles are the point. Choose Hurdlr if watching your tax bill and keeping fuller books is.

How much do Everlance and Hurdlr cost?

Everlance lists a free Basic plan, Starter at $8.99 per month or $69.99 per year, and Professional at $99.99 per year. Hurdlr offers a free plan, Premium at $9.99 month to month or $100 per year, and Pro at $200 per year. The Everlance figures were taken from everlance.com/pricing on September 22, 2026, and the Hurdlr figures from Hurdlr's own help documentation in August 2026. Prices and plan names change, so check each company's current pricing before you subscribe.

Does Hurdlr track mileage automatically on the free plan?

No. Hurdlr's free plan includes income, expense, and tax tracking, and it does handle mileage, but automatic mileage tracking starts at the Premium tier. On the free plan you enter trips yourself. This is the most common surprise for drivers who download Hurdlr expecting hands-off tracking.

How many free trips does Everlance track?

Everlance's free Basic plan automatically detects 30 trips per month. Manual trip entry, receipt uploads, and expense tracking are unlimited on the free plan. Drivers who work most days generally hit the 30-trip cap, which is what moves them to the Starter plan for unlimited automatic tracking.

Does SOLODRIVE.PRO replace Everlance or Hurdlr?

No. They do different jobs. Everlance and Hurdlr track the miles and money from all the driving you do, detected automatically by GPS. SOLODRIVE.PRO tracks the miles on the rides you run through it, and gives you a booking page at your handle so app passengers can become your own repeat riders. Plenty of drivers run a mileage app and SOLODRIVE.PRO at the same time.

Does SOLODRIVE.PRO help with taxes at all?

It lets you log your earnings across platforms so you can track what you make and stay tax-ready, and you can log your vehicle upkeep costs in the same place. You enter those earnings yourself. The Schedule C tax-ready view is available on the Pro tier and above, and basic earnings and mileage figures render on every plan. It also logs the miles on every ride you drive through SOLODRIVE.PRO, automatically. It is a direct-booking tool first, not a background mileage tracker for your app driving and not full bookkeeping software.

Can I use SOLODRIVE.PRO while still driving for Uber and Lyft?

Yes. SOLODRIVE.PRO works alongside Uber and Lyft. The apps introduce the first ride. You provide the service. Then you share your booking link so the rider can request you directly next time. You do not have to leave the apps to start.
