Mileage Tracker Apps Compared: TORQ Track vs. MileIQ vs. Everlance

If you’ve searched “best mileage tracker app,” you’ve probably landed on the same three or four names over and over. MileIQ and Everlance are the two most established players, and TORQ Track is built to do more than either of them on its own. Here’s an honest breakdown of what each one actually does, so you can pick based on what you actually need — not just app store ratings.

Key Takeaways

• MileIQ and Everlance are mileage-logging tools first, with little or nothing beyond that
• TORQ Track tracks true cost per mile, maintenance, and — for gig drivers — earnings vs. cost by platform
• TORQ Track’s free plan covers a full vehicle, unlike the limited free tiers on the other two
• Mileage-only tracking can’t tell you whether a shift, or a platform, actually made you money

Feature Comparison at a Glance

What Each App Actually Does

MileIQ

MileIQ is built around one job: automatic mileage logging. It detects drives in the background using your phone’s GPS and lets you swipe to classify each trip as business or personal. It’s simple and reliable for logging alone, and that’s about the extent of it — there’s no expense tracking, maintenance reminders, or earnings comparison built in.

Everlance

Everlance does similar automatic mileage tracking, plus some basic expense logging (you can snap photos of receipts and categorize them). It’s a step up from MileIQ in scope, but it’s still fundamentally a logging tool — it doesn’t calculate your true cost per mile, track vehicle health, or compare earnings across gig platforms.

TORQ Track

TORQ Track starts from a different question: not just “how many miles did I drive,” but “what did this car actually cost me, and what did it earn me.” That means:

• Fuel and EV charging costs
• Maintenance history and repairs
• Insurance
• For rideshare and delivery drivers, a full earnings-vs-cost breakdown by platform

Mileage logging is part of it, not the whole product. See our full cost-per-mile methodology for how that number gets calculated.

Pricing Comparison

MileIQ and Everlance both run subscription pricing in a similar range once you’re past their free trial or limited free tier — typically requiring a paid plan for unlimited automatic tracking. TORQ Track offers a genuinely usable Free plan for one vehicle, then Pro (multiple vehicles, full history, vehicle health scoring) and Driver (full earnings tools for rideshare and delivery work) as you need more. If you’re comparing based on what’s actually included at each price point, it’s worth checking current TORQ Track pricing directly rather than going off a single number.

What’s Missing From Mileage-Only Apps

The gap most people don’t notice until later: mileage alone doesn’t tell you what your car is actually costing you. A logged mile doesn’t account for the maintenance bill that just hit, the insurance renewal, or how your car’s efficiency is trending. If you’re only tracking miles, you’re missing the bigger financial picture — and if you’re driving for Uber, DoorDash, or a similar platform, you’re likely missing whether you’re actually making money once real costs are factored in.

Which One Is Right for You

• If all you need is a simple, no-frills mileage log for tax purposes and nothing else, MileIQ or Everlance will get the job done.
• If you want to understand your car’s total cost — not just mileage, but fuel, maintenance, insurance, and depreciation together — TORQ Track is built for that from the ground up.
• If you’re deciding between the standard mileage rate and actual expenses at tax time, having both mileage and real expenses tracked in one place makes that decision far easier.

If you drive for a rideshare or delivery platform, TORQ Track’s Driver plan goes further than any mileage-only app can, comparing your real earnings against your real costs, platform by platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is TORQ Track more expensive than MileIQ or Everlance?

It depends on which plan you compare — TORQ Track's free tier covers a full vehicle with more features than either competitor's free tier. See current pricing for a side-by-side.

Can I use TORQ Track for personal mileage tracking, not just gig work?

Yes — mileage logging works the same whether you're tracking business miles, a personal vehicle's true cost, or preparing a car to sell.

Does MileIQ or Everlance track maintenance or vehicle health?

No — both are focused on mileage (and, for Everlance, basic receipts). Neither tracks maintenance history or calculates a true cost per mile the way TORQ Track does.

Which app is best for rideshare and delivery drivers specifically?

TORQ Track's Driver plan is built specifically for this, comparing net earnings against real vehicle costs by platform — something neither MileIQ nor Everlance offers.

Do I need the paid plan to get useful data from TORQ Track?

No — the free plan covers one vehicle with full cost tracking, which is enough for most personal drivers. See the plans to compare what each tier unlocks.
