The price tripled
The app didn’t change. The bill went from $60 to $140 a year, one “update” at a time.
Your mileage app wants $140 a year.
Ours wants $69.99. Flat.
FlatMile tracks every business drive automatically and exports IRS-, HMRC- and CRA-ready reports. One price. No trip caps. No upsells.

Mile 1 · Sound familiar?
You didn’t stop needing a mileage log.
You stopped tolerating the bill.
It missed the long one
The airport run — the drive that actually mattered at tax time — never made it into the log.
The “free” tier had a catch
A hidden monthly trip cap, discovered mid-month, after you’d already switched everything over.
Mile 2 · The comparison
The math is the pitch.
Switching from a specific app? Here is the detailed MileIQ alternative comparison, including what the price did year by year.
| FlatMile | MileIQ | Everlance | Driversnote | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Price per year | $69.99 | $139.92 | $69.99 | $132 |
| Trip caps | None, ever | 40 free drives / month | 30 free trips / month | 15 free trips / month |
| Account required | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Tax report formats | IRS + HMRC + CRA | Varies by region | US-focused | Varies by region |
| Export if you stop paying | CSV, free forever | Tied to subscription | Tied to subscription | Tied to subscription |
Competitor figures are taken from each company’s own pricing page on 31 August 2026 and may change. MileIQ is $11.66/mo billed annually ($139.92/yr), or $167.88/yr billed monthly. Everlance Starter matches us on price at $69.99/yr (Professional is $99.99). Driversnote Pro is $11/mo and publishes no annual individual price, so $132 is the monthly rate over twelve months. Where a rival ties us on price, we’d rather say so than round it in our favour — the difference is what happens after you pay. FlatMile’s founding price is guaranteed for waitlist members.
Mile 3 · How it works
Three moves. That’s the whole app.
-
01
Drive
Your car’s Bluetooth starts the log. No buttons, no beacons, no remembering.
-
02
Swipe
Right for business, left for personal. Same gesture you already know.
-
03
Export
An audit-ready PDF your accountant will love — formatted for the IRS, HMRC or CRA.
Mile 4 · What it’s worth
The log pays for itself in the first week of January.
$4,000+typical annual deduction
At the IRS standard mileage rate — 72.5¢ then 76¢ in 2026 — a self-employed driver logging 6,000 business miles claims a four-figure deduction. FlatMile keeps the running total on your home screen — so tax season is a download, not an archaeology dig. At $69.99 a year — one coffee a month — the deduction it documents is roughly sixty times what the app costs. US, UK and Canadian rates built in, updated every tax year.
Mile 5 · Why flat?
Mileage tracking is a solved problem being resold as a subscription. We charge enough to maintain the app well — once a year — and that’s the whole business model. No caps. No account. Your drives export to CSV free, forever — even if you never pay us.

Mile 6 · Questions
The fine print, in large print.
Is it really flat?
$69.99 a year, one product, everything included. No monthly tier, no premium add-ons, no feature gates. Waitlist members keep this price for as long as they subscribe.
When does it launch?
Early access is planned for this fall (2026). The waitlist gets in first, the App Store after. We’d rather ship a log that never misses a drive than ship in a hurry.
Will the IRS, HMRC or CRA accept the reports?
Reports follow each authority’s documentation requirements for mileage claims — date, distance, purpose and odometer summary per trip, totalled per tax year in the format your return expects.
I’m on MileIQ — can I switch?
Yes. CSV import is planned for launch, so your existing drive history comes with you. Your classification habits transfer too: it’s the same swipe. If you’re weighing it up, here’s the full MileIQ alternative comparison.
What happens to my data if you disappear?
Your drives live on your phone, not on our servers, and CSV export is free forever. If FlatMile vanished tomorrow, you’d still have every mile.
