Everlance vs Lili Comparison 2026
Everlance logs mileage automatically for a tax deduction, free for 30 trips a month and $10.99 a month on Starter for unlimited tracking. Lili is a business bank account that sets aside tax money automatically and sorts transactions into the categories a return wants, free on Core and $15 a month on Pro for the tax-bucket features. One tool tracks driving specifically. The other is where the money lives, with tax sorting layered onto the account itself.

Everlance
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.
Lili
Business banking that puts the tax money aside
Lili is a business checking account for people who are the whole company. What separates it from a plain bank is the tax bucket: a share of what lands is held back automatically, and transactions are sorted into the categories a tax return actually asks for. Dearer plans fold in invoicing, bill pay and a set of books, which is where it starts competing with the accounting tools rather than the banks. Anybody already paying a bookkeeper should check what they would stop paying for.
Why people weigh these two
- Lili instead of Everlance
- Lili is business banking that sets tax money aside as income arrives, from $15 with a free tier, tracking spend at the account rather than by trip.
- Everlance instead of Lili
- Everlance starts at $10.99, less than Lili's $15, and focuses narrowly on mileage and expense tracking rather than being a bank account itself.
Which one should you pick
Pick Everlance if your deduction is mileage-heavy and you want that one thing automated well. Check the 30-trip free cap against a typical week before assuming it covers you.
Pick Lili if your income arrives from several platforms and you want the account itself to hold back tax money and sort expenses, at Pro's $15 a month. A creator with a bookkeeper already, or a limited company with staff, is buying an overlap rather than a tool, and should compare Lili's dearer Smart tier against what that bookkeeper already costs.
Common questions
- Which is cheaper?
- Everlance's Starter plan is $10.99 a month against Lili Pro at $15, but the two are not really substitutes. Everlance tracks mileage specifically; Lili is a business bank account with tax categorisation layered on top.
- Does Lili track mileage the way Everlance does?
- Not as described here. Lili's job is the account itself: a tax bucket that holds back money automatically and sorts transactions into return-ready categories. Everlance's specific feature is automatic mileage detection in the background.
- Is either free?
- Both have a free tier. Everlance detects 30 automatic trips a month for nothing, with unlimited manual entries. Lili Core is a full working business account for nothing, though the tax-bucket features that give Lili its point start on Pro at $15 a month.
- Who is buying an overlap rather than a tool?
- Anybody with a bookkeeper already, or a limited company with staff, according to Lili's own guidance: its Smart tier at $35 a month should be compared against what you currently pay for bookkeeping, since that is the spend it is trying to replace.
