Hurdlr

Hurdlr is an app for self-employed entrepreneurs to track income, expenses, mileage, and taxes in real time. It is available on Android, iOS, and the web, with a free plan for manual finance tracking, unlimited semi-auto mileage tracking, tax estimates, and report exports. Premium costs $100 per year, billed as $8.34 a month on the annual plan, and adds automatic mileage and finance tracking, tagging, rules, detailed tax estimates, tax payment tracking, and work hours. Automatic mileage tracking uses drive detection and is available on Premium or Pro. Pro costs $200 per year and adds invoicing, payment collection, advanced accounting and reporting, and accountant access. Annual tax filing for Pro includes federal and one state for eligible US non-enterprise users; Enterprise Pro accounts do not include it. Premium and Pro can connect income from Uber, Square, Stripe, and Shopify. Lyft, Airbnb, Amazon Flex, Shipt, and DoorDash lack direct income integrations, but their income can be tracked through a linked deposit bank account. Pro members can try advanced accounting reports for seven days.

Hurdlr offers a free starting point for manual finance tracking and tax estimates, with paid tiers adding automation and accounting tools. Review the integration and tax-filing limits against your business needs before choosing a plan.

Hurdlr is suited to self-employed people who want to track business finances, mileage, and taxes. Pro is described for entrepreneurs including LLCs, C-Corps, S-Corps, and people with multiple businesses.

Hurdlr combines income, expense, mileage and tax tracking for self-employed people. It is best for freelancers, gig workers and small-business owners who want tax estimates alongside business records. The free tier is capable for manual workflows, while paid plans make automation and accounting the deciding upgrades.

Overview

Hurdlr keeps business finances and mileage in one app across Android, iOS and the web. Its no-cost plan gives users a practical way to record finances, estimate taxes in real time and export reports without a subscription.

The trade-off is automation coverage. Automatic mileage and finance tracking require a paid plan, and several major gig platforms lack direct income connections. Users whose work depends on those services may need bank-deposit tracking instead of source-level syncing.

Key features

Free includes manual finance tracking, real-time tax estimates, report exports and unlimited semi-automatic mileage tracking. That is enough for someone prepared to start or classify activity manually, but it is not a hands-off driving log.

Premium and Pro provide automatic mileage capture with drive detection that starts and stops automatically. They also connect direct income from Uber, Square, Stripe and Shopify. Lyft, Airbnb, Amazon Flex, Shipt and DoorDash have no direct income integration; Hurdlr can track those deposits through a linked bank account, which is a workable fallback but less specific than a native connection.

Premium adds speed tagging, suggested and custom rules, detailed tax estimates, tax-payment tracking and work-hours records. These tools target an individual who wants to reduce repetitive categorization without needing full accounting.

Pro includes everything in Premium plus invoicing and payment collection, advanced accounting and reporting, a Chart of Accounts, manual journal entries and accountant access. Annual tax filing covers a federal return and one state for eligible US non-enterprise Pro users; Enterprise Pro accounts do not include that filing service.

The web app supports filtering, sorting, search, bulk deletion and report viewing. Hurdlr says linked bank data uses 256-bit SSL encryption, credentials go directly to the bank, and the service receives a read-only token. In-app chat and email support operate during weekday business hours, with typical replies within 24 business hours for chat and 48 for email.

Pricing

The Free plan has no subscription cost and includes unlimited semi-auto mileage, but gives up automatic mileage and finance capture, speed tagging, rules and detailed tax tools. Premium is the sensible middle tier for one operator who wants automation and payment tracking without accounting infrastructure. Pro costs twice as much annually, but adds business-grade accounting, invoicing, accountant access and eligible tax filing. Pro members can try advanced accounting reports for seven days; paid plans renew on their annual terms.

Platforms

Hurdlr runs on Android, iOS and the web. Mobile apps handle mileage and finance capture, while the web interface is better suited to searching, filtering, bulk cleanup and reviewing reports.

Who it's for

Choose Hurdlr Free if you are self-employed and comfortable entering transactions and managing semi-automatic mileage. Premium fits freelancers and gig workers who want automatic drives, direct connections for supported services and richer tax estimates. Pro is aimed at entrepreneurs operating LLCs, S-Corps, C-Corps or multiple businesses who need invoicing, accounting and accountant collaboration.

It is a weaker choice when direct income syncing for Lyft, Airbnb, Amazon Flex, Shipt or DoorDash is essential, or when an Enterprise Pro account needs annual tax filing.

Pros and cons

• Pro: The free tier combines unlimited semi-auto mileage with tax estimates and exports, so basic recordkeeping does not require a paid plan.
• Pro: Premium and Pro automate mileage with drive detection and connect income from four major services.
• Pro: Pro's accounting, invoicing, reporting and accountant access support more complex business structures.
• Con: Several prominent gig platforms lack direct income integrations, forcing deposit-account tracking.
• Con: Automatic mileage and finance tracking are reserved for paid plans, limiting the free tier for drivers seeking minimal manual work.
• Con: Annual tax filing is restricted to eligible US non-enterprise Pro users and covers only federal plus one state.

Alternatives

For a mileage-first tool with a public API and unlimited trips on Pro, consider Driversnote. Everlance suits users who want a free plan with 30 automatically detected trips per month plus unlimited manual trips. MileIQ is a simpler mileage option with 40 free drives each month. Brex is better suited to card and entity management than personal mileage records. Expensify focuses on receipts, expense reports and mileage. Gridwise targets gig workers with service syncing and scheduling, while MileLog and MyCarTracks provide alternatives centered on drive logging and vehicle tracking.

Verdict

Hurdlr is a strong fit for self-employed users who want mileage, business finances and tax estimates together, with Premium offering the best balance for automated tracking. Choose Pro when accounting, invoicing or eligible tax filing justify the higher annual cost. Look elsewhere if your income comes mainly from unsupported gig platforms or if Enterprise tax filing is a requirement.
