TooziA Hurdlr alternative when mileage tracking isn't enough
The short answer: Hurdlr is a good app if your main job is logging miles and expenses: a free tier with semi-automatic trips, Premium at roughly $9.99 a month for automatic tracking and bank sync, and a Pro tier that adds filing. Toozi covers mileage too ("log 12 miles to Julie"), but it is really the whole back office — books sorted for Schedule C from your bank feed, invoices with payment links, quarterly estimates with reminders, and the federal return e-filed — all from a text thread. If you only need mileage, Hurdlr is cheaper. If mileage is one of ten things you are juggling, Toozi handles the other nine.
| Toozi | Hurdlr | |
|---|---|---|
| Core job | Full bookkeeping, taxes, invoicing — by text | Mileage + expense tracking, tax estimates |
| How you use it | Real SMS — no app | App (auto-tracking runs in the background) |
| Automatic GPS mileage | Text your trips; Toozi applies the IRS rate | Automatic drive detection on Premium |
| Price | $49/mo flat | Free tier; Premium roughly $9.99/mo as of 2026 |
| Invoicing with payment links | Included | Pro tier |
| Tax filing | IRS Authorized e-file Provider; 1040 + Schedule C per business | Pro tier (annual) |
| Multiple businesses | Separate books per hustle, one price | Tag by business |
Where Toozi wins
- The whole job, one thread. Miles, supplies, an invoice to a client, "what do I owe in June" — the same text number handles all of it.
- Books, not just a log. Toozi sorts every bank transaction for Schedule C and matches transfers, so your profit number is real, not a sum of what you remembered to enter.
- It texts you first. Quarterly deadlines, license renewals, an invoice that is late — Toozi reaches out before you think of it.
Where Hurdlr might fit better (the honest part)
- If you drive for a living and want every trip captured automatically without typing, Hurdlr's background GPS tracking is purpose-built for that and Toozi does not do GPS.
- If your needs stop at mileage and a tax estimate, Hurdlr's free or $9.99 plan costs far less.
FAQ
Does Toozi track mileage automatically?
Not by GPS. You text the trip ("18 miles to the Bakersfield job") and Toozi logs it at the current IRS standard mileage rate, with the deduction running total. Many people keep a GPS app for drives and text Toozi everything else.
Can I use Hurdlr and Toozi together?
Yes. Export Hurdlr's mileage total at year end and text it to Toozi, or text trips as you go.
Which is cheaper?
Hurdlr. Toozi's $49 covers bookkeeping, invoicing, estimates, and filing, which Hurdlr does not bundle at that tier.
