Mileage & expense reporting

Mileage and expenses that turn into invoices

IRS or custom mileage rates, receipts, and billable plus reimbursed flags — flowing straight into project profitability and client invoices, for $7.99/user/mo.

Every feature free on every tier • Billable-first, not employee-reimbursement-first

Capture the cost, bill the client

MileIQ and Expensify are built to reimburse employees. We're built so a contractor's drive and receipt become billable line items.

Also worth knowing

QuickBooks and Zoho Expense bundle mileage into accounting, but QuickBooks has no free tier and starts at $20–$38/mo, and Zoho caps its free plan at 3 users and 20 receipt scans a month. Both keep client invoicing and CRM in separate products.

Where they genuinely beat us

If automation of capture is your priority, a specialist may fit better.

Automatic drive detection

MileIQ, Everlance, and Expensify passively detect and log trips by GPS. Our mileage is odometer or manual entry — there's no background drive capture.

Receipt OCR

Expensify SmartScan (and Zoho/Everlance autoscan) auto-read merchant, amount, and date off a photo. We attach the receipt but you key in the amount.

Corporate cards & bank feeds

Ramp and Expensify issue cards with cash back and auto-import/reconcile every transaction. We have no card program or bank feed.

Reimbursement payouts & accounting

Ramp and Expensify run one-click ACH reimbursements; QuickBooks and Zoho add a full ledger and per-diem/travel. We flag reimbursed but don't execute the payout.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a free alternative to Expensify or MileIQ?

Yes. Log My Business tracks both mileage and expenses on every tier including Free, with IRS or custom rates and receipt attachments — and unlike mileage-only tools, it also invoices.

Does it track mileage automatically by GPS?

No — mileage is entered by odometer or manually. If passive background drive detection is essential, MileIQ or Everlance are the specialists. Where Log My Business wins is turning that mileage into a billable line on a client invoice.

Can I mark an expense as billable to a client?

Yes. Every expense and mileage entry carries billable and reimbursed flags, and billable items import into an invoice in one click — Expensify and Ramp are built to reimburse employees, not bill clients.

Does it scan receipts automatically?

No — you attach the receipt and enter the amount. Expensify's SmartScan OCR is deeper here; Log My Business trades that for being part of one connected platform with invoicing and time tracking.
