MileIQ alternative · 2026
A MileIQ alternative that costs $69.99 a year. Flat.
If you liked MileIQ at $60 and got priced out at $140, you’re exactly who we built FlatMile for. Same automatic tracking. Same swipe. Half the price, locked flat.
What switching saves, per year
vs. MileIQ’s ~$139.99/yr plan
The story
You’re not imagining it. The price really did more than double.
MileIQ’s annual plan climbed from roughly $60 to about $140 over successive increases — while the app itself did what it has always done: log drives and export a report. Recent reviews tell the same story over and over: long-time users who were happy to pay, until the bill stopped making sense.
Here’s the thing — they’re right to be annoyed. Mileage tracking is mature software. It doesn’t cost more to run every year. A log that captures your drives, sorts them with a swipe, and prints an audit-ready report is worth paying for once a year — not renting at SaaS prices.
That’s the entire idea behind FlatMile: the same daily job, at a price that stays put.

Questions
Switching, answered.
Why are people leaving MileIQ in 2026?
The price. It climbed from roughly $60 to about $140 a year across successive increases, and recent reviews are dominated by exactly that complaint — from users who liked the app and happily paid the old price.
Does FlatMile track drives automatically?
Yes. Logging starts when your phone connects to your car’s Bluetooth — no buttons, no beacons. A manual add covers the rare edge case.
Can I bring my MileIQ history?
CSV import is planned for launch, so your drive history comes with you and your tax-year totals stay complete.
When can I switch?
