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.
Only on this side
Invoicing with a free plan that stays free
Invoicely sends invoices, estimates and recurring statements, and tracks time, expenses and mileage against them. The free plan is capped at five invoices a month rather than at a trial period, so a freelancer billing one or two clients never has to pay. Billing in any currency is on every paid tier, which matters if your clients are not all in one country.
Our note
Worth choosing when invoicing is the only accounting job you have. The moment somebody says the word reconciliation, you have outgrown it, and paying $9.99 here plus a real ledger somewhere else costs more than starting on Wave.
