MileVault review
An iPhone mileage log with automatic trip detection, rate estimates, and report exports.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
For self-employed people and others who drive for work, MileVault is an iPhone app for recording mileage and estimating tax deductions. It detects drives in the background, lets users classify trips as business or personal, and supports multiple vehicles and odometer readings. Work hours and saved places can help with trip classification. Its focus is mileage documentation rather than broader tax or expense management.
MileVault’s pricing has a free tier with unlimited manual trips and 20 automatic drives per month. Premium weekly costs $3.99 per week and includes premium features, with a 3-day free trial. Premium annual costs $29.99 per year, while Lifetime access is a one-time $49.99 payment with no subscription. The paid plans are relevant for drivers who want premium tracking and reporting features; the free plan may suit people who record trips manually or have limited automatic-drive needs.
The app estimates deductions using IRS or HMRC mileage rates and exports PDF and CSV mileage reports, making it useful when mileage records need to be reviewed or shared. Trip and location data stays on the device, and the app does not require an account or cloud service. MileVault is a fit for iPhone users whose main need is a private mileage log. It is less suitable for people who need receipt capture, expense categorization beyond manual handling, integrations, or an Android app; a broader expense tracker may be a better match for those workflows.
