Mouse Scale vs Axlease
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Mouse Scale
This app helps U.S. truck drivers estimate axle weights from air suspension pressure for optimized loads, fuel savings, and safety. It offers a one-time calibration and provides instant weight results, with an optional PRO version for advanced analysis.
- Instant weight estimates
- One-time calibration
- Fuel efficiency optimization
- Winter safety guidance
- Advanced PRO version features
- Load distribution calculations

Mouse Scale PRO is a major upgrade to the outdated load-control industry, which still relies on mathematical models created long before smartphones and onboard computers existed. If you are new to our technology, we recommend starting with Mouse Scale Light. It is simpler, more affordable, and easier to understand before moving to Mouse Scale PRO. The unwritten rule of this industry is: Whoever determines weights deserves to be rewarded by motor carriers. Terms of Use: https://arc.net/l/quote/vgehazzr Mouse Scale PRO is an information breakthrough for drivers, motor carriers, and truck manufacturers. Its new mathematical model combines all seven key variable parameters of the truck and dry van—including fuel and DEF weight distribution, any fifth-wheel position, trailer tandem position, suspension pressures, and driver weight—to calculate 25 useful weight-related results. Load-control digitalization is the path toward partial-load transportation because our apps use well-known suspension pressure gauges to estimate cargo weight, cargo center of mass, and remaining payload capacity. Our goal is to equip every truck and trailer with practical, affordable load-control technology that improves safety, environmental responsibility, transportation efficiency, and helps increase profits for drivers, motor carriers, and truck manufacturers. Digitization is inevitable. Our formulas provide far more information than just axle weights and gross weight. Drivers and carriers around the globe need more information about the weight parameters of the cargo being transported by semi-trucks. Within approximately three years, half of American trucks will have onboard computers with an extended network of sensors capable of using our new truck math. We would like to digitize the remaining trucks and trailers using smartphones. Progress is unstoppable. Do not resist it. Embrace new technologies.

AxleEase helps truck drivers quickly calculate trailer axle slide positions to achieve legal weight distribution. Enter your tractor/truck weights, upload or scan your scale ticket. The app instantly computes how far to slide your tandems forward or back. A simple animation shows the exact direction and distance to move the axles. See predicted axle, and gross weights update in real time. Key features: Supports 53’ Trailers with slidable tandem axles Steer, drive, trailer axle group calculations Forward and rearward slide options Clear visual feedback with animated trailer Upload or scan scale tickets for automated calculations. Designed by a driver, for drivers. Fast, straightforward, no fluff. Stay legal, save time, avoid fines and re-weighs.
