Mileage tracker

Hey cool folks at Hurdlr, longtime happy user here — any chance you’d consider offering an automatic mileage tracker only level of subscription with a lower price point? I have not and will not ever use the other stuff in your app, cool as I’m sure it is. Your auto-tracker however is hands-down the best I’ve found (I’ve been using it for a couple years until you made it a paid feature) and I’d be more than happy to pay for it. But currently I’ve switched to a different app that offers mileage-tracking-only for a vastly smaller price tag, and doesn’t make me pay for a bunch of extra stuff I’ll never touch just to get the one thing I DO need. I like the Hurdlr mileage tracker way better and wish I could switch back! But not for $60/year, yikes. Please please please offer a mileage-only tier? Pretty please?

Love this app! Great for self employed!

You can use it free! They have a premium but if you don’t mind doing everything manually it works great! My only complaint is they don’t have a search option. I’m a hairstylist and like to be able to look up past clients on my I come section and there’s no easy way to do it, except scroll or somehow find out when they were in to scroll to that date. Besides that it works great! Can track mileage and determines how much you would get for a tax deduction for it. Can track your business expenses and put them in categories. And can track income and you can put your clients right in there. Also has the capability of estimating how much you’ll have to pay in taxes! And has reports you can look at for time periods you want to select for income and expenses, and those are all broken down for you too. Overall, very happy with the app! Just wish searching for clients or past expenses was easier.

Hi there, thank you for the positive review. The good news is you can utilize Hurdlr's search feature in the desktop app, so you can search your income records by client.

Great for house cleaning business

I was told to purchase quicken for tracking my miles, expenses, and income for side house cleaning business. I have a Mac and it doesn’t come in Mac version for Home and business but online chat with them said primer would work. After purchasing it it turns out it doesn’t track mileage. So I went in search of something else and found this! So happy with this so far as it tracks everything I need it to on the free version. This is only a side job otherwise I’d seriously consider the paid auto tracking version if I did it full time. So glad I found this as it saves me so much hassle and I’ll be ready for tax time without having to cram at the last minute to get it all put together. It’s a life saver.

WAY BETTER than QuickBooks.

This app is top tier. I struggled with QuickBooks for months. Looking for a resolution to a problem with no answers from support to only learn the solution wasn’t existent. Thankfully that led me to Hurdlr. Simplicity, efficiency, and unlimited mileage tracking!

My only request would be... In the reports section and looking at the break down of business expenses I would like the ability to click on each category to see an itemized break down of each transaction. This being said because I have a few categories that have expenses in them that should not be there. It would be helpful to be able to edit these then and there. Instead of going back to past previously reviewed expenses in search of the errors.

Hurdlr has exceeded my expectations, and I am sure this standard will continue.

Great App & Great Customer Svc!

I found Hurdlr looking for a mileage tracking app. This is the the only App I found that allows you unlimited mileage in the free version! Other apps force you to pay after a certain number of miles or trips. Not Hurdlr! I also love how it auto tracks my mileage (without draining the battery) as tracking mileage was always something I was really bad at doing myself. Being able to keep track of my Income and expenses is also so helpful as I don't have steady income or expenses and I used to wait to do this at the end of the year out of laziness which was so stressful. I love how this app can help ANY small business owner or freelancer. I probably could have saved so much money in tax write offs had I been using this all along. Not only that but I no longer need to stress about adding up my expenses at the end of the year or wishing I had written down my mileage for each client! The customer service is also great! I love how they have a direct chat integrated into the app and definitely do what they can to help and make their customers happy. I wish I had this app years ago. Tax time won't be as stressful for me anymore!! Thank you Hurdlr for making my life easier!

Thanks for your positive review! Best, Ashleigh @ Hurdlr

Great App - Hope to upgrade soon

I would live to see a data cache option for entering cash-inflow items and having them calculate offline in the free version.

I am a bit uncomfortable w putting personal finance info into 3rd party cloud storage for privacy and security reasons so am not quite there yet for the upgrade version even if my budget was ready, which it is not quite yet. But I am enjoying using the app to have more convenient to use than a spreadsheet.

I hope the developers continue to focus on security and privacy while making more data processing available on the free version (while holding back tax data functions for paid) for the slow adopters like myself. I've worked w tech over 45 yrs but am conservative w privacy & security! But I like & trust this app so far more than Intuit quickbooks !! I may never move off Excel files i can secure offline but this app will help store business spreadsheet data conveniently on the fly and estimated tax payment display is also a big plus for the free version! Well done to the developers!

Hey there, Thanks for your feedback! I will pass it along to the rest of the team. As far as security, all data is 256-bit SSL encrypted. Hurdlr also does not have access to any of your banking credentials, and therefore they are not stored by Hurdlr. If you have any other questions about security, don't hesitate to reach out to us via in-app chat or email us directly at hello@hurdlr.com. Best, Ashleigh @ Hurdlr

Great app and greater customer service!

When I first started using Hurdlr I had looked at other apps to compare and I'm really glad I choose this one! I got the free trial for premium and was excited to try that out. Ended up not being able to link my bank account to the expenses and income but I used the chat option inside the app which is very useful and easy to use and spoke to Ashleigh who actually reached out to my bank to fix the problem. It took 7 days but she got back to me and said the problem was solved. By this time my trial ended and I could no longer use the auto expense and auto income tracker but she extended my trial so I could still try these out! I know I've chosen the right app to help me keep track of my expenses and can't wait to upgrade!!

Perfect for Taxes!

As an UBER driver I was recommended to keep track of my expenses and mileage most especially. When I started UBER a friend recommended Hurdlr not knowing of what I really had in my hands until tax day came around. I didn’t know how to use it very much throughout my first six months but I was always helped by the hurdlr Team within 15 minutes of messaging them to help on an area. They would walk me through every step to use the app as best for my purpose.
I tracked my miles as I drove, kept receipts saved by taking a picture and saving them in the app as well as my Cloud. When time came to do my taxes the app creates an Excel spreadsheet with different tabs of your expenses, mileage, separated by either Personal or Business. With the totals of amounts at the bottom very well detailed for your tax preparer or Hurdlr can also do your taxes for you.
I’ve been very happy to of been recommended this app to track my expenses and mileage and for the fee of 50$ and tax deductible it was worth every penny. The perfect app for taxes:) and your business Totally recommend it for you to aid in your Business!

Entrepreneurs take note!

I discovered this great app through Postmates! As a ride share driver with Lyft and delivery service provider (why have one side hustle if you can have more?!) I needed a simple way to track my mileage, income vs expenses, and various other details. Hurdlr is a great tool.I share it with all my co entrepreneurs getting their side hustle on... what a simple, time saving way to track my business and prepare for for taxes! And, I did not have the expense of a cumbersome accounting package that is very expensive and takes hours to set up. Who has time for that? Time is money...!!

Do yourself a service and download Hurdlr right now. Track your mileage, import income and expenses, and get back to work!

Thanks Hurdlr!

Great App!!

Been using the App for a few months now, extremely user friendly. This is a worry free way of keeping track of everything for your business. I’m a 1099 employee and this makes everything so simple. Would highly recommend to business owners and all self employed individuals. Thank you Hurdlr!!

Had a small problem with my annual subscription. Sent a message through the app explaining my concern and within no time at all Aaron had wrote me back with advise on how to correct the problem. Was able to solve the issue with the advise given in the first response back from the Hurdlr team. They truly are there for you when you experience a issue. Excellent customer service!
