Hurdlr vs. MileageWise

Hurdlr is great for simple self-employment tracking (income, expenses, taxes). It's not as powerful as something like Quickbooks in my opinion, but honestly I think that's a good thing. No need to overcomplicate things if you don't need all those features. Hurdlr is perfect for exactly what you need as a self-employed person. I have always been able to do everything I need to do with Hurdlr and it's simple and easy to use. Most importantly, everything is quick. I can quickly add income and expenses, and quickly export reports. Works exactly the way it needs to.

It's well suited during every-day business trips and personal trips, too. These are the scenarios that our company usually use the app for - tracking business miles. It can be used for non-business mile tracking as well, but honestly I haven't tried it for regular, non-business purposes. I guess less appropriate scenarios in this case are when someone's not driving a car.

Hurdlr is much cheaper and less complicated than QuickBooks. Less money, less time, less frustration than QuickBooks. I used QuickBooks Online for another business and had to spend hours and hours figuring out how to set it up, and ultimately had to pay an accountant to do it for me. So much wasted money and time compared to Hurdlr, which was easy, and free to get started. I'm sure some businesses need QuickBooks, but if you have a pretty simple self-employed business, Hurdlr is definitely superior.

MileageWise is just so much more up-to-date than MileIQ. IQ hasn't done a major update for a couple of years (or at least it feels like it), whereas MileageWise is always improving their product. You need to update the app every second week(ish), but it's always worth it, there's always something new coming up on their end.
