Stop handing your location history to someone else's server. MILES NOW keeps your drives on your device and in your own iCloud. We run no servers, there is no account to sign up for, and we cannot see your trips. How it Works: Tap 'Start' to log your drive via on-device GPS. Categorize trips with a single swipe. Key Features: No accounts, no logins, no ads, no third-party tracking. Battery Optimized: High-efficiency background logging. Automatic drive detection, so you stop forgetting to press record. IRS-ready PDF and CSV mileage reports. CarPlay, Live Activities and widgets. Teams (optional): Drive for an employer? Tag a drive to a team and your manager sees the date, the place names, the distance and the purpose. Never your route, and never your exact coordinates. Personal trips are never shared. If you never join a team, nothing about the app changes. SUBSCRIPTION Miles Now Pro is an optional auto-renewing subscription, available as a monthly or yearly plan. A free trial is offered on eligible plans. Prices are shown in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of that period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings after purchase. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: MILES NOW at none against CapDrive's shown. MILES NOW also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and device support (3 vs 1). CapDrive's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.
