MileIQ raised prices 50%. And it still can't tell you which miles were worth it.
Lead Score auto-tracks every business drive and links each trip to the lead it was for. See exactly which jobs cost you the most in drive time — and cancel MileIQ, Joist, and three other apps while you're at it.
| Choose Lead Score if… | Choose MileIQ if… |
|---|---|
| Choose Lead Score if you want mileage tracking that connects every drive to the lead it was for, plus estimates, invoices, and lead scoring in one app. | Choose MileIQ if your only need is pure mileage logging for tax purposes and you don't run a service business that qualifies leads. |
| You're a contractor who qualifies leads and drives to estimates | You need centralized mileage reimbursement for a team |
| You want to know which miles were wasted on bad leads | Your employer standardizes on MileIQ |
| You want to replace MileIQ, Joist, and your CRM with one app | You don't run a service business with leads |
| You hate paying for apps that raised prices without adding value | You only need mileage — nothing else |
| You want offline-first, no account required | Your accounting team requires MileIQ-formatted reports |
Lead Score vs MileIQ
Lead Score was built by a contractor who paid MileIQ for years — and realized it logged every mile to a bad lead without a single insight about whether the drive was worth taking.

MileIQ tells you how many miles you drove. It has no idea if they were worth it.
MileIQ does one thing well: it logs business drives automatically. Swipe right for business, swipe left for personal. Export a report at tax time. That's genuinely useful — but for a contractor, it's less than half the picture.
MileIQ logged every mile. It never told you which ones mattered.
You don't just need to know how far you drove. You need to know whether that drive made you money. Did the 45-minute qualifying visit turn into a signed job? Or was it another tire kicker who got three bids and went silent? MileIQ logged the miles and moved on. It will never tell you which drives were worth taking.
And in 2025, MileIQ raised its price from $5.99 to $8.99/month — a 50% increase — with no new features contractors asked for.
"MileIQ incorrectly detected a new starting location for the return trip, leading to inflated mileage. Offline functionality remains one of its biggest weaknesses."

Every mile linked to the lead that earned it.
Lead Score uses GPS to auto-detect and log every business drive in the background — the same core mechanic as MileIQ. But every trip connects to a specific lead in your pipeline. After a few months, your dashboard shows you something no mileage-only app ever could.
That 33% wasted number changes how you work. When the cost of chasing bad leads is measured in your own miles and hours, you stop chasing them. The 5-factor lead scoring system helps you identify which leads are worth driving to before you turn the key.
Lead Score also replaces your estimating app, your invoicing app, your expense tracker, and your lead CRM — all stored locally on your device with no account required. One subscription does what five apps were doing.
What your current app stack actually costs.
Most solo contractors run 4–5 separate apps. Here's the monthly total — and what Lead Score costs to replace all of them.
Or go annual at $59.99/year — less than $5/month for the full stack.
Clear pricing. No surprises.

Who should use what.
If you're a solo contractor or home service pro, Lead Score replaces MileIQ — and the rest of your app stack — for a single monthly price. The lead-linked mileage tracking alone is worth the switch.
The only reason to stay with MileIQ is if you manage a team with centralized mileage reimbursement needs. For solo operators and small crews, that's an enterprise feature you're paying for whether you need it or not.
