Gig-platform expense workflow
Receipt and expense tracking for Uber drivers
An honest Uber-driver guide to separating receipt OCR, automatic mileage, tax estimates, mileage-only logs, and filing support across five current tools.
Direct answer
Recommended expense workflow
For an Uber driver, start by choosing the record that is missing. ReceiptLine processes receipt expenses; Everlance and Hurdlr center mileage; MileIQ records mileage only; Keeper centers deductions and filing. A driver may need a receipt tool and a mileage tool rather than pretending one feature replaces the other.
Uber context
Choose the evidence workflow, not a vague “gig app” label
Uber creates a rideshare audience for these products, but it does not make their workflows interchangeable. The decision is still receipt evidence versus mileage evidence versus tax preparation.
Verified tool roles
Five tools that solve different parts of the record
ReceiptLine
Processes a snapped receipt into a categorized expense and tax-ready export; no mileage claim is made.
Pricing: $59 per month. As of July 2026; verify current pricing on the provider's site.
- • It is a focused receipt-to-export product, not a full accounting suite.
- • Tax-ready export does not mean tax filing.
Everlance
Automatic mileage and bank sync, with Professional filing support; attached receipts are not OCR'd.
Pricing: Public pages showed Starter from about $8.99-$10.99 per month and Professional from about $99.99-$119.99 per year; confirm the price at signup. As of July 2026; verify current pricing on the provider's site.
- • Everlance says it does not scan receipts or import receipt details; images are attached to expenses.
- • Current and older public pricing conflict, so the signup price needs confirmation.
Hurdlr
Bank transactions, mileage, estimates, and an IRS report; receipt expenses are entered manually.
Pricing: Premium is listed at $9.99 per month or about $100 per year. An older help article described Pro at $200 per year with federal and one state filing; treat that Pro figure as provisional and confirm it on the site. As of July 2026; verify current pricing on the provider's site.
- • Receipt handling is manual: users attach an image to an expense rather than using receipt OCR.
- • Emailed receipts do not create expenses, and the available Pro pricing reference is stale-dated.
MileIQ
Automatic mileage without receipt capture or expense categorization; useful only for that narrower job.
Pricing: Free for 40 drives per month; Unlimited $13.99 per month or $11.66 per month on annual billing; Teams $8-$10 per user per month. As of July 2026; verify current pricing on the provider's site.
- • It does not capture receipts.
- • It does not categorize expenses, so it is not a functional receipt-app substitute.
Keeper
Bank-linked deductions, Schedule C allocation, exports, and annual filing plans; OCR was not verified.
Pricing: Deductions is $20 per month, Filing + Deductions is $199 per year, and Premium is $399 per year; a Business tier at $1,199 per year was also seen. As of July 2026; verify current pricing on the provider's site.
- • Receipt OCR was not verified in the supplied public information.
- • It is tax-first rather than a focused daily receipt-capture workflow.
