What Stride is
Stride is a free app for independent workers to track miles, income, and expenses, prepare tax information, explore insurance options, and find everyday deals. It is available on Android, iOS, and the web, and the Stride app plan costs nothing. Mileage tracking starts manually in the app. On iOS, it can remind users to start a drive when the phone is moving faster than 5 mph and charging. Expenses can be entered manually or reviewed from a linked bank or credit card account to select deductible business expenses. Stride can produce an IRS-ready tax summary, and users can send themselves a tax report. It also provides personalized health plan recommendations, helps users apply, and offers dental, vision, and life plan options. Enrollment may not be supported for every Qualified Health Plan offered in a user's state through HealthCare.gov. The Deals tab displays local discounts based on ZIP code, or national deals when location services are off.
