Best Car Apps for Real Estate Agents: Everlance vs. MileIQ

Aside from Uber drivers and bus drivers, real estate agents may put in more road time than any other profession. And while you're always focused on getting from one place to the next in record time, you may not be handling your drive time as efficiently as possible. This week, we'll talk about two of the best mobile apps for real estate agents on the go.

Check out our first posts, where we looked at the Waze GPS app, and the Stitcher app for podcasts.

Mileage app: MileIQ is the true original

In some real estate circles, it could be considered blasphemy to say that there's a better mileage tracking app than MileIQ. And it's true that MileIQ does an exceptional job of tracking your total mileage. The app offers automated detection and the ability to easily classify your trips in one swipe.

In short, if you're a MileIQ devotee, you may not see the point of changing apps now. And that's okay; we know the company has been an ally in the real estate industry for years.

Everlance tracks mileage + expenses

As the team that brings you tech advice, though, we do feel obligated to tell you about Everlance, the new kid on the block. Everlance has the same mileage tracking features as MileIQ, but the app also has the option for users to connect a credit card or bank account that's related to their business.

That means users can easily review and classify their purchases as business expenses. The end result? Everlance will track the majority of your deductions in one easy, semi-automated experience.

MileIQ and Everlance pricing

While MileIQ has a free option that you can use forever (if you want to track fewer than 40 rides per month), Everlance's users must pay after they conclude their free trial period.

The pricing for the premium version of each is the same; both Everlance and MileIQ cost $59.99 annually, for unlimited use.
