Hurdlr is a game-changer for IRS mileage reporting & logging (and income/expense tracking)

I have been a daily user of Hurdlr for several years now. The ease of tracking mileage, along with tracking income and expenses for business make this software a must-have. I have recommended this app to many others, as I find it very easy to use; it integrates directly with the MLS and provides the ability to track income and expenses (with the added ability to attach receipts and notes)! Everything you need in one easy to use program.

PROS

This software AUTOMATICALLY tracks your mileage, making the IRS requirement of maintaining a mileage log simple.

CONS

More robust reporting features would be useful.

Very helpful expense tracker

Easy to set up, great value. I found it much easier to use than other software that I tried, and definitely easier than keeping track of things myself. Also looking forward to using the mileage tracking once I start travelling to different research facilities.

PROS

I really like the detailed expense tracking and the ability to make rules for my transactions. I have fewer transactions to keep track of and I don't have to worry about losing a receipt since I can upload them to my account

CONS

I'd like to be able to start invoicing from my phone as well as computer, but their help center said that should be coming soon

Reasons for switching to Hurdlr

Quickbooks was a bit too complex for me. Hurdlr works better for my needs and I found it easier to understand. It's also less expensive.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your great review Anmol! We recently released mobile invoicing as well. Please reach out to us via in-app chat or at hello@hurdlr.com if you have any questions about this new Pro feature! Best, Kristen @ Hurdlr

Subscribers Beware

-Untrustworthy -Deceptive -Bait and Switch business practice -Dishonest -Nonexistent customer service -Attempts at customer reviews about the company are met by company [sensitive content hidden] responding nonchanlanty as if customer doesn't quite understand they "don't honor" these types of subscriptions, while failing to acknowledge that this is the subscription that paid customer has been under for years & that said company [sensitive content hidden] decided one day that he just won't honor them. Company [sensitive content hidden] attempting to make the situation out to be one of paid customer confusion, while it is the [sensitive content hidden] who knowingly has ceased, for no reason, a paid contract and will be held accountable for doing so and refusing to address this with the customer. -Office of Consumer protection and State Department of Consumer Affairs is now involved in investigation of this company and practice of breach of contract

PROS

Able to track business and personal expenses, mileage, add banking accounts and auto file expenses

CONS

Hurdlr bought out a similar company (Taxbot). Prior to their acquisition of Taxbot, lifetime memberships were sold to Taxbot members. At the time, I was a yearly subscriber for over five years with Taxbot. I bought a lifetime subscription, which included many features that I use for my small business & personal taxes (mileage, auto expense tracking, end of year reports for our accountant etc). Not long after purchasing the lifetime membership, customers were notified that Taxbot was sold to Hurdlr and that subscriptions would continue without a hitch, the features they offered were the same. I even received chat messages directly from Hurdlr after Hurdlr bought out Taxbot stating that there was nothing to do, everything would be transferred to Hurdlr from Taxbot and other than a new app platform, all would carry on as usual. Screenshots of these chat texts to me from their agents have been saved for legal purposes. However, less than two years later (July 2023) I was unable to get into paid features in my account. I was then told by Hurdlr that should I want those services to continue, I must now pay a monthly or yearly subscription, as they now "do not honor lifetime subscriptions". This is a breach of contract and completely dishonest business practice. Nothing was disclosed to customers purchasing the lifetime membership that very soon after, the business would be sold & for the acquiring company to now hold these contracts and not honor them is a breach of contract. Taxbot is accountable and held liable for amping up their company earnings with a massive "lifetime subscription" sale push towards members, making their company look more profitable than baseline and Hurdlr is accountable for purchasing this company and choosing not to honor current subscriptions. This is not honest or fair business practice and this company should be held liable in a class action lawsuit. Attempts at reaching customer service, upper level executives or [sensitive content hidden] results in ghosting. Hurdlr attempts to present themselves as a professional company/service yet instead of answering messages, phone calls etc., they will instead ghost their customers. It is more than unprofessional and downright immature to choose to ignore a problem like this thinking it will go away ,while knowing they are in the wrong and are legally bound to honor subscriptions.

THE Best Accounting/Bookkeeping for your money

I run my own business as well as contract with others. Hurdlr lets me separate my mileage and income from each, automatically records and tags business and personal expenses, income from each, and keeps up-to-date tax estimations. And has files (more than you probably need) for tax time. It has been a lifechanger switching to Hurdlr.

PROS

Absolutely best software I've used. More robust on the free version than others, free version is on par with QuickBooks, and the paid is AMAZING! Very simple to setup and use.

CONS

There isn't anything to not like. It's that good.

Reasons for switching to Hurdlr

I made the switch because I wanted a user-friendly and cost-effective software with as much bang for the buck as possible. That solution is Hurdlr.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your great review William! We're so glad you're enjoying Hurdlr. Best, Kristen @ Hurdlr
