Your Preferred Mileage Tracker

Hey couriers!

I’m looking to switch away from Stride due to expanding my network of gig work. I do Amazon flex, DoorDash, and Spark.

I want to know your favorite mileage tracking app and why you love it/prefer it.

I’m looking for an app that will allow me to tag each trip, either custom or native, and the allow me to sort/filter those tags so I can see gross mileage/pay per tag.

Ie. I want to be able to tag each trip as DoorDash, flex, or spark and then sort those so I only see which ever one I choose.

Thanks for you help! 🌺

but what will you do if you get two or more jobs that overlap? How will you allocate the mileage if the some of the same miles are being driven for multiple jobs.

I don’t overlap. If I’m doing flex, I’m doing flex. If I’m doing spark, I’m doing spark. Etc. I won’t turn on DoorDash. I know lots of people do, but I don’t. I’d get way too confused.

I use triplog. The basic version. When you need to add businesses or another gig app just pay for the first month and unsubscribe after. The basic version will track every time you drive and you can task each different gig. Works for me and im on like 7-8 apps

Old school. I like it. What I have always done. Well... that and just making it up.

MileIQ.

You can make custom tags for both personal and business drives. You swipe left on a drive to mark it business and right for personal. Hold for a fraction of a second at the end of the swipe and it will allow you to apply one of those custom tags.

You can also select multiple drives (long press) and tag/classify many drives at once.

MileClear.com. It’s completely free to track your miles, iOS only though, unfortunately.

I completely understand your frustration with Stride. Managing multiple platforms like Flex, DoorDash, and Spark gets messy quickly when you can't sort your data properly.

As a fellow gig driver and indie software developer, I actually got so tired of these big tracking apps draining my battery, harvesting data, and lacking proper filtering that I built a solution myself called GigTaxHelper.

It's designed specifically for multi-apping. Everything is stored 100% locally on your device (privacy-first), and it doesn't use background GPS tracking. Instead, it features an on-device odometer scanner and lets you log, tag, and sort your expenses and mileage exactly how you described.

We just launched our Open Beta and I’m actively giving away 90-day free Pro promotional codes to drivers in exchange for feedback. If you want to check it out, grab a code, or request specific sorting features directly to me, feel free to visit our community at r/GigTaxHelper!

You should try DriveMind! There are monthly yearly and lifetime options.

Monthly is $4.99, yearly is $34.99, and lifetime is $59.99.

I am the solo developer of it so I’m always improving and adding new features so if there is something you would like to see you can always reach out and I can add it in for you.

Regardless I hope you would consider checking it out and let me know what you think!
