Hurdlr

Overview

Hurdlr brings income, expenses, mileage and tax tracking together for self-employed entrepreneurs. It is best suited to people who want tax estimates alongside business finance tracking, with paid plans adding automation and accounting tools.

Its free tier covers the basics, while Premium and Pro add automatic tracking and, for eligible users, annual tax filing. The main trade-off is that some income sources lack direct integrations.

Key features

Hurdlr tracks income, expenses, mileage and taxes in real time. The free plan includes manual finance tracking, real-time tax estimates, report exports and unlimited semi-automatic mileage tracking. That makes it a useful starting point for someone willing to classify finances and start trips manually, but not for a driver seeking hands-off mileage capture.

Premium and Pro add automatic mileage tracking with drive detection that starts and stops automatically. Paid users can also connect income directly from Uber, Square, Stripe and Shopify. Lyft, Airbnb, Amazon Flex, Shipt and DoorDash do not have direct income integrations; income from those services can instead be tracked through a linked deposit bank account.

The web app supports filtering, sorting, search, bulk deletion and report viewing. Pro adds a Chart of Accounts, manual journal entries, advanced reports, invoicing and payment collection, and accountant access. Those accounting tools make Pro more relevant to businesses that need structured books than to someone who only wants mileage logs and tax estimates.

Hurdlr says linked bank data uses 256-bit SSL encryption, credentials go directly to the bank, and the app receives a read-only token. Support is available through in-app chat and email during weekday business hours; typical replies take up to 24 business hours in chat and 48 by email.

Pricing

Premium is billed annually at $100 annual plan ($8.34 a month, most popular). It is the practical step up for users who want automatic tracking without Pro's accounting suite. Pro is billed annually and suits entrepreneurs with more involved bookkeeping needs, including LLCs, C-Corps, S-Corps and people with multiple businesses. Annual tax filing covers federal and one state for eligible US non-enterprise Pro users; Enterprise Pro accounts do not include it.

Hurdlr offers a 7-day free trial of Pro advanced accounting reports. The free tier avoids a subscription but gives up automatic mileage and finance tracking, detailed tax estimates and the paid plans' other automation.

Platforms

Hurdlr is available on Android, iOS and the web. Mileage reports, vehicle profiles and expense export support users managing trips and business records across its mobile and web offerings.

Who it's for

Hurdlr is a strong fit for self-employed people who want mileage, business finances and tax estimates in one app, especially when their income comes from supported integrations. Premium is better for drivers and earners who value automatic capture; Pro is aimed at entrepreneurs who also need accounting workflows, invoicing or accountant access. Someone whose priority is only mileage tracking, or whose income sources require manual bank-based tracking, may prefer a more focused option.

Pros and cons

• Pro: The free plan combines unlimited semi-automatic mileage tracking with tax estimates and report exports, so users can begin without paying.
• Pro: Premium adds automatic mileage and finance tracking, while Pro layers in accounting, invoicing and accountant access for growing businesses.
• Con: Direct income integrations cover Uber, Square, Stripe and Shopify, but not several other named gig platforms; bank-deposit tracking is the workaround.
• Con: Pro annual tax filing is limited to eligible US non-enterprise users and one state, so it is not a universal filing solution.
• Con: Support replies may take up to 24 business hours in chat or 48 by email, which may frustrate users needing a quick answer.

Verdict

Look elsewhere if your main income platforms lack direct integration or you need annual tax filing outside Pro's eligibility limits.
