Everlance Alternative for Contractors

Everlance tracks your miles. It has no idea which jobs those miles were worth.

Lead Score does everything Everlance does — automatic GPS mileage, IRS-compliant reports, one-tap confirmation — and connects every trip to the lead that earned it. Plus estimates, invoices, and lead scoring. One app. One price.

The problem with Everlance

Everlance is a solid mileage tracker. It was never built for contractors.

Everlance does mileage logging well. Automatic detection, clean interface, good IRS reports. For a sales rep driving to client meetings, it's a fine tool. But contractors don't just need to know how many miles they drove — they need to know which jobs those miles produced.

Everlance has no concept of a lead, a quote, or a job. It tracks a drive from point A to point B. It cannot tell you that the drive to the Henderson estimate was a waste of time, or that you drove 38 miles to quote a job that was never serious. That context — which miles made money — is exactly what solo contractors need and Everlance will never provide it.

Everlance's premium tier runs $8-12/month depending on the plan. Add that to your invoicing app, your lead tracker, and your expense logger and you're paying $30-50/month for four separate apps doing what Lead Score does in one.

"I want to know which jobs I'm driving to most and which ones are actually profitable — not just a total miles number."

What Lead Score does differently

Mileage that means something.

Lead Score uses the same background GPS detection as Everlance. Every business drive is captured automatically — even when the app is closed. But when you confirm a trip, you link it to the lead it was for. Over time, your dashboard surfaces the insight Everlance never could.

1,247 miTotal miles driven to qualify leads this month
412 miMiles driven to Bad Fit leads — 33% of your total drive time, wasted
835 miMiles driven to leads you actually won

See total miles driven to qualify leads this month, miles driven to Bad Fit leads (wasted), and miles driven to leads you actually won. That wasted mileage number changes how you pre-qualify before you ever start the truck.

And Lead Score replaces four other apps while it's at it: your lead CRM, your estimating tool, your invoice tracker, and your expense logger. All stored locally on your device. No account required. No cloud holding your data hostage.

Bottom Line

Who should use what.

Our Verdict

If you're a solo contractor using Everlance just to log miles for taxes, Lead Score does that — and adds the job-level context that makes those miles meaningful. The mileage feature alone is worth the switch. Everything else Lead Score replaces is a bonus.

The only reason to stay with Everlance is if your company requires a specific mileage reimbursement platform your employer has standardized on. For self-employed contractors and small crews, that's not a factor.


FAQ

What contractors ask before switching.

Does Lead Score track mileage automatically the same way Everlance does?×
Yes. Lead Score uses background GPS to detect and log every business drive automatically — even when the app is closed. You confirm trips with one tap and see the route map. The difference is each trip can link to a specific lead so you know which jobs it was for.
Can I get IRS-compliant mileage reports like I can from Everlance?+
Yes. Lead Score calculates your IRS deduction at current standard mileage rates automatically and exports everything as CSV — date, distance, addresses, and deduction amount.
Does Lead Score work if I'm in a rural area with spotty service?+
Fully. All data is stored locally on your device — no internet required for any feature. GPS mileage tracking, lead scoring, estimates, and notes all work offline.
I use Everlance for team mileage reimbursement. Does Lead Score handle that?+
Lead Score is built for solo contractors and small owner-operated crews. If you manage a larger team that requires centralized mileage reimbursement reporting for payroll, Everlance's team features may still be relevant for that specific workflow.
What apps does Lead Score actually replace?+
For most solo contractors: your mileage tracker (Everlance or MileIQ), your estimating app (Joist or Invoice Simple), your lead CRM (HelloLeads or similar), and your expense tracker. One subscription covers all four.

Your miles deserve more context than a total.
