The big differences
MileIQ charges $60/year. WayPal is free.
MileIQ's free tier only allows 40 trips per month — barely enough for regular drivers. WayPal has no trip limits and no subscription required, ever.
MileIQ tracks constantly. WayPal only when you say so.
MileIQ runs in the background 24/7, draining your battery and collecting location data continuously. WayPal tracks only during active shifts — you start it, you stop it.
MileIQ is owned by Microsoft.
Your driving data flows into a massive corporation. WayPal is an independent app — your data is yours and isn't used to train AI models or target ads.
Shift tracking built in.
WayPal's shift system groups your trips into work sessions, making it easy to see your total mileage per day or week — something MileIQ doesn't offer.
