"We were paying $6 a month for a tracker that missed short trips and kept pushing us toward a pricier plan. For a tax log."
"So we built MileageBuddy. Multi-signal detection that catches the drives other trackers miss, flat pricing, and no upsells."
Flat pricing, every feature unlocked, and no ads cluttering your log. We make money from the subscription — that's it.
Three steps. Then drive.
Grant background location. That's the last setup step — the app handles the rest.
Multi-signal detection catches starts and stops without draining your battery.
Categorize as you go or in bulk. Export an IRS-ready PDF or CSV in one tap.

Competitor data based on publicly listed features and pricing as of 2025. We aim to keep this honest — tell us if anything's off.
The IRS lets you deduct $0.70 per business mile in 2025. A driver logging 10,000 business miles a year is claiming $7,000 in deductions — but only if the records hold up.
The first 500 founding members keep this price for life, even when we raise it for everyone else. No trip limits. No per-mile fees.
You won't be charged until we launch. Waitlist confirms your rate — nothing more.
MileageBuddy uses multi-signal detection (GPS + motion + device state) for better accuracy on short trips and transitions GPS-only trackers commonly miss. Flat $7.99/mo with no per-trip fees, no tiered plans, and no account required to get started.

No. We don't sell, share, or use your trip data for advertising. We make money from the subscription, not from your data.

Yes. You can drive, log, categorize, and export mileage without a network connection. Trips sync up whenever you're back online.
No. We use Apple's low-power motion and significant-location APIs so the app sleeps when you're stationary and only wakes when needed. Typical users see single-digit percentage impact on battery per day.
Yes. Reports include everything the IRS requires: date, time, start and end locations, distance, and business purpose. Export to PDF or CSV for your accountant or tax software.
The IRS requires four things for each business trip: (1) the date of the trip, (2) the miles driven, (3) the business destination, and (4) the business purpose. MileageBuddy captures all four automatically when a drive is detected — you only add the purpose.
Yes. MileageBuddy is built for independent drivers — rideshare (Uber, Lyft), delivery (DoorDash, Uber Eats, Instacart, Amazon Flex), and any other 1099 driving. It tracks every business drive automatically, regardless of which platform you're working on. See our guide for Uber drivers.
