# Simple Mileage Tracker vs Mileage Logbook

The clearest difference is rating: Simple Mileage Tracker at 4.5 against Mileage Logbook's 3.9. Simple Mileage Tracker also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (1.6K vs 38). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Simple Mileage Tracker sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $5.49 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.

Simple Mileage Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simple Mileage Tracker has 1.6K ratings behind it against 38, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Simple Mileage Tracker'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.

Simple Mileage Tracker ships an update every 8 days, Mileage Logbook every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
