Timeero Alternative for Contractors

Timeero tracks your business miles. Lead Score connects them to your leads.

Timeero is a solid mileage tracking app with GPS trip detection and IRS reports. Lead Score includes all of that — plus it connects every mile to the lead it was driven for, adds lead scoring, estimates, invoices, and pipeline analytics. For contractors, the comparison isn't close.

Lead Score vs Timeero

Lead Score was built for the pre-sale phase — before you have a job to send crew to. Timeero manages workers on active jobs. Lead Score decides which jobs are worth starting.

The problem with Timeero for contractors

It tracks your miles. It has no idea why you drove them.

Timeero works well as a mileage tracker. GPS detection is reliable, the IRS reports are clean, and the interface is straightforward. But like every dedicated mileage app, it has no connection to your business. It knows you drove 12.4 miles on Tuesday. It doesn't know you drove those miles to a tire kicker who wasted your afternoon.

Timeero tracks the miles. Lead Score tracks whether they paid off.

Lead Score tracks every mile back to the lead it was for. When you log a site visit in Lead Score's activity log, the miles are attached to that lead. Your dashboard shows miles to Great Fit leads, miles to Bad Fit leads, and your average cost per won job. That changes how you qualify.

At $11/month, Timeero costs more than Lead Score's mileage tracking and provides a fraction of the functionality. Lead Score replaces Timeero and typically the CRM and estimate apps you're running alongside it — for $9.99/month.

"MileIQ incorrectly detected a new starting location, leading to inflated mileage. Offline functionality remains one of its biggest weaknesses."

Timeero review analysis, 2025 (comparing Timeero and MileIQ)

What Lead Score adds to mileage tracking

Every mile connected to a lead outcome.

Lead Score's mileage tracking works the same way as Timeero — GPS-based, IRS-compliant, CSV export. The difference: every mile in Lead Score is attached to a lead. When that lead closes as Won, you know the ROI on the drive. When it closes as Lost, you know you spent $X in mileage on a lead that went nowhere.

Lead Score also works fully offline — a key advantage over cloud-dependent mileage apps that miss trips when you start a drive without signal. All data is local to your device.

For contractors currently paying for Timeero and a separate CRM, Lead Score at $9.99/month replaces both and adds lead scoring that neither tool provides.


The Real Cost

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.

Typical contractor app stack — per month
MileIQ (mileage)$8.99
Joist or Invoice Simple (estimates + invoices)$8–32
HelloLeads or similar (lead tracking)$5
Expense tracking app$5–10
Monthly total$27–56/month
Lead Score replaces all of the above
Lead scoring + mileage + estimates + invoices + expenses$9.99/month
Your annual savings$204–552/year

Or go annual at $59.99/year — less than $5/month for the full stack.

FAQ

What contractors ask before switching.

Does Lead Score replace Timeero?×
For solo contractors, yes. Lead Score tracks mileage per lead with IRS-compliant CSV export. It adds lead scoring, pipeline analytics, estimates, and invoices that Timeero doesn't provide. The key advantage: every mile is connected to the lead it was driven for.
Is Lead Score offline-capable like Timeero?+
Fully. Lead Score stores everything locally on your device. No internet connection required for any feature, including mileage logging.
How does Lead Score track mileage per lead?+
When you log a site visit in a lead's activity log, you can add the miles driven. Your dashboard then shows total qualifying miles, miles to won leads, and miles to lost leads — giving you a true cost-per-acquisition for your mileage deductions.
What does Timeero do that Lead Score doesn't?+
Automatic GPS trip detection in the background (Lead Score requires manual mileage entry per lead), and employee tracking features for teams. Timeero is stronger as a pure automatic mileage tracker. Lead Score is stronger for solo contractors who want mileage connected to business outcomes.
What does Lead Score cost vs Timeero?+
Lead Score is free for 3 leads and $9.99/month unlimited. Timeero is $11/month for a solo plan. Lead Score is slightly cheaper and covers far more functionality.


Your mileage deduction is worth more when every mile is labeled with the lead it paid for.

Lead Score connects every drive to an outcome.
