An honest Hurdlr & Everlance alternative — free
For drivers and freelancers who want free mileage — and the rest of the back office in the same app.
Businessily gives you mileage tracking plus your whole back office, free: Hurdlr and Everlance have free tiers, but they tend to limit them to manual entry and gate automatic mileage detection and bank import behind a paid subscription. Businessily includes mileage and invoices, expenses, and US tax prep at $0 — without asking for your bank login.
Free-tier limits and pricing reflect publicly listed plans as of 2026 and change often — check each provider's site before deciding.

When Hurdlr or Everlance is the better choice
If you drive constantly for rideshare or delivery and want the most refined auto-detection on the market, a dedicated mileage app is purpose-built for exactly that.
Everlance has employer-facing reimbursement and admin tools. We're built for the solo operator, not fleet programs.
If you'd rather link a bank for automatic expense capture, those apps offer it (via paid tiers). We deliberately don't.
If you truly just want a tracker and never invoices, taxes or POS, a single-purpose app is lighter.
What's different about Businessily
Mileage plus everything else
Free mileage is the entry point, but you also get invoices, expenses, US taxes, POS and scheduling — one app instead of a mileage app plus three more.
No Plaid, ever
We never ask for your bank password. Import a statement file, parsed on your device — no login routed through a third party.
Private by architecture
On Apple your trips and books stay on-device. No ads, no brokers, and your SSN and contractor Tax IDs never touch our cloud.
