About MileIQ
MileIQ is an automatic mileage tracking app that logs every drive in the background and lets users classify trips as business or personal with a single swipe. It generates tax-compliant mileage reports for deductions and reimbursements, and its Teams plans add a web dashboard where admins approve drives, exclude commute mileage, and run reimbursement reports. Founded in 2013 and owned by Microsoft from 2015 to 2021, MileIQ was acquired by Bending Spoons in July 2025.
