At a glance
MileIQ is a mileage tracker owned by Bending Spoons. It records drives in the background with your phone's GPS, lets you classify each one as business or personal with a swipe, and produces IRS-compliant mileage reports. The free plan covers 40 drives a month. It doesn't capture receipts or other expenses.
