Mileage and expenses tracked for freelancers
Everlance runs in the background on a phone and logs drives automatically, which is the part of a mileage deduction nobody does by hand for long. Swiping classifies a trip as work or personal, and the year's log exports in the shape a tax return wants. The free plan caps automatic detection at 30 trips a month, and a working week eats that.
Our note
The free tier's 30 trips is the number to check yourself against. Two client visits a week uses it up, and a partially tracked year is worth less at tax time than a fully tracked one.
Banking, bookkeeping and tax in one account
Found is a business account for self-employed people with the bookkeeping and the tax set-aside built into it, so expenses categorise themselves as they land and the quarterly estimate is on screen rather than in April. It invoices, pays contractors and files 1099s. The free plan has no monthly fee and no minimum balance, which is the reason to look at it before a bank.
Our note
Wave is free and does the books without touching the banking, so Found only makes sense if you want the account itself to do the categorising. Anybody happy with their existing bank should stay with Wave and keep the $35.
