GigReal vs Everlance

A gig-driver cockpit vs a general-purpose mileage log. Both track miles the IRS way — only one knows what gig work pays. Facts verified August 2026.

Everlance is a very good mileage-and-expense tracker for any self-employed worker — a free Basic plan covers 30 auto-detected trips a month; Starter at $8.99/month or $69.99/year adds unlimited automatic tracking, with bank-card expense sync. What it doesn't know is gig work: it can't import your Uber or DoorDash earnings, can't tell you an offer's real per-mile value before you accept, and can't show your true hourly after expenses. GigReal does all three, because it's built only for drivers. If miles are your whole problem, Everlance is fine; if the question is "am I actually making money?", that's GigReal.

Common questions

Both track mileage — is there a real difference there?

Both produce IRS-ready GPS logs. The difference is what surrounds the miles: GigReal ties every mile to the gig earnings it produced, so you see profit per mile, not just a deduction total. Everlance's free tier also caps automatic detection at 30 trips a month — a full-time driver passes that in a weekend.

Everlance syncs my bank — isn't that the same as AutoSync?

No. Bank sync sees deposits after they land — one lump sum, days later. AutoSync connects to the gig platforms themselves and imports each trip's earnings, miles, and time, which is what makes honest per-hour and per-mile math possible.

Is GigReal more expensive?

Entry pricing is comparable: GigReal Essential is $4.99/month ($49.99/year) vs Everlance Starter at $8.99/month or $69.99/year. GigReal has no free tier — it starts with a 14-day trial — while Everlance's free tier covers 30 automatic trips a month.
