Mileage Logs is a beautifully designed application that allows you to track your vehicle mileage for tax/reimbursement purposes. Once installed, it automatically captures your drives using the GPS on your mobile phone. No need to manually mark the start and stop points for your drives! For captured drives, you can classify them as business or personal with a single swipe. You also have the option to manually enter your drives. The app can support multiple vehicles, and can automatically compute the odometer readings once the initial reading is set. The app supports charts and reports, with the option to email the PDF or CSV formatted reports. Features: - automatically capture drives using GPS - classify drives as business or personal with one swipe - ability to manually add drives - track odometer readings automatically by vehicle - ability to backup application data via email - ability to choose the native currency - ability to choose between Google and Apple maps - ability to choose between Miles or Kilometers - ability to generate PDF/CSV formatted reports, by vehicle, by type, for any selected period To get started, in the Vehicles section, add your vehicle. Enter a name for your vehicle, year, model and make. If you plan to track odometer miles, set the initial odometer reading as of the day/time you specify. In the Settings section, under the Defaults, set your vehicle, and the default business or personal purpose. This will be used to automatically classify your drives. In addition, you can set your currency and the mileage units if needed. Now, simply start driving. Mileage Logs runs in the background, and intelligently identifies your drives. The Reports section allows you to generate a report of your miles for any period you specify. The report can be in PDF or CSV format. The PDF formatted report is good for printing. If you choose the CSV formatted report, the generated CSV file can be opened in Microsoft Excel. Mileage Logs is free for the first 40 drives every month. You can upgrade to unlimited drives for $2.99/month or $29.99/year. Please refer to http://www.anishu.com/privacy.html for privacy policy and terms of use. Battery Usage: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. To preserve the battery power on your device, Mileage Logs has been carefully designed to limit the use of GPS.

Mileage Logbook has been trusted by thousands of users to help them potentially claim back tax on their business mileage. With Mileage Logbook, you won't have to worry about manually logging your miles. Simply drive as you normally would and the app will automatically create a compliant mileage log for you. The app has a range of features to make logging your journeys even easier. Here are some of the key features: ▶ MULTIPLE TRACKING OPTIONS Mileage Logbook uses GPS signals to track your vehicle's movement from one location to another. The app automatically tracks journeys when you are driving, cycling, or using public transport, and stops tracking when you arrive at your destination. You can choose between three tracking options: Auto Tracking, Vehicle Bluetooth, and Manual Tracking. You can connect to your vehicle's Bluetooth to ensure the app only tracks journeys for a specific vehicle. If you prefer, you can disable the auto-tracking feature and manually record your journeys, or you can use both options at the same time. ▶ HIGH-SPEED SERVERS In Mileage Logbook, your journey history is synced with high-speed servers, so you won't lose your data if you delete the app. Every time you log in to the app, your journeys will be ready to download. ▶ TAX COMPLIANT MILEAGE REPORTS Mileage Logbook is compliant with the mileage reimbursement rules of several taxation offices worldwide, including Australia's Australian Taxation Office (ATO), the United Kingdom's HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), the United States' Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Canada's Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), New Zealand's Inland Revenue Department (IRD), Holland's Netherlands Tax and Customs Administration (Belastingdienst), and Germany's Federal Ministry of Finance (BMF). ▶ PERIODIC REPORTS & MILEAGE RATES Mileage Logbook automatically updates your daily, monthly, and annual reports when you review a journey. The reports are customizable and can be generated in PDF or Excel format for your accountant. Your mileage rates will be set to the standard flat rates of the country you choose upon installation, but you can easily edit them at any time. ▶ LOW BATTERY CONSUMPTION Mileage Logbook is designed to be battery-friendly, accurately tracking journeys without draining your phone's battery. After you finish a journey, the app stops consuming your location data and creates a trip log. The app will consume your location data when you walk, but only if it receives a new GPS update. This process is less frequent than journey tracking. If you enable the Low Power Mode feature, the app will never consume your location data unless you are in a vehicle or cycling. Battery Use Disclaimer: Please note that continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. ▶ TRY NOW Are you ready to become a compliance pro?

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mileage Logbook at 52% against Mileage Logs's 0%. Mileage Logbook also leads on ratings volume (38 vs 4). Mileage Logs's advantage is monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and rating (4.3 vs 3.9). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Mileage Logs sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Mileage Logbook sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Mileage Logs holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mileage Logbook has 38 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Mileage Logs's written reviews are positive against 52% of Mileage Logbook's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
