Stride tracks your miles for free. Lead Score tells you which miles were worth it.
Stride is a genuinely useful free mileage tracker. Lead Score includes mileage tracking built in — and adds the one thing Stride can never provide: connecting every drive to the lead it was for, so you know which jobs were worth the windshield time.
Choose Lead Score if you want job-level mileage context — knowing which drives produced revenue — alongside lead scoring, estimates, and invoices.
Choose Stride if you only need free, basic IRS mileage logging with no additional features and you're happy connecting directly to H&R Block.
- You want to see which miles went to winning jobs vs wasted drives
- You want to replace multiple apps with one
- You're ready to pay a small amount for more value
- You want lead scoring and estimates built in
- You want offline-first, no account required
- You only need mileage logging — nothing else
- Free is your hard requirement
- You use H&R Block and want direct import
- You're just starting out and want zero overhead
Lead Score vs Stride
Lead Score was built by a contractor who used Stride for free — and realized free mileage logging without job context was almost useless. Knowing which miles made money changed everything.

Knowing how many miles you drove is useful. Knowing which ones made you money is invaluable.
Stride gives you IRS-compliant mileage reports and a direct H&R Block integration. For basic mileage deduction tracking it works well and it's completely free. But Stride tells you nothing about which jobs those miles went to, which leads closed, or which drives were complete wastes of time.
Stride tells you how far you drove. Lead Score tells you if it was worth the trip.
Lead Score tracks mileage per lead. When you log a site visit, the miles are attached to that lead. When the lead closes as Won or Lost, you can see exactly how many miles you drove to your Great Fit leads versus your Bad Fit leads. That insight changes how contractors qualify.
Lead Score also replaces the mileage tracker, CRM, and estimate app most Stride users are running separately. At $9.99/month it covers all three — and for Stride users who value free tools, the free tier lets you score 3 leads and track mileage at no cost.
"I want to know which jobs I'm driving to most and which ones are profitable."
Stride user feedback, 2025
Miles connected to leads. Leads connected to outcomes.
Lead Score connects every drive to the lead it was for. Your dashboard shows total miles to qualifying visits, miles to Bad Fit leads, and your average drive cost per won job. Stride shows you your total miles. Lead Score shows you whether those miles made you money.
For tax purposes, Lead Score's IRS-compliant mileage export gives you the same deduction documentation as Stride. The difference: every mile is labeled with the lead it was for, making your records cleaner and your deductions more defensible.
For Stride users who value free tools, Lead Score's free tier includes 3 lead scores with mileage tracking. The $9.99/month paid plan replaces Stride and typically two or three other apps Stride users are paying for separately.
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.
Solo contractors who use Stride and want to understand which leads their miles are going to — Lead Score adds that context for $9.99/month and replaces the CRM and estimate apps you're probably running alongside Stride.
Contractors who purely want IRS-compliant mileage tracking with zero cost and zero complexity — Stride is excellent at that. Lead Score adds context but costs $9.99/month after 3 free leads.
