RoadKept vs Everlance
Everlance is built to answer "How many miles, and what can I write off?" RoadKept is built to answer "How much do I owe, how much should I set aside, and how much did I save?" That is the whole comparison, and the rest of this page is the evidence for it: every Everlance figure below is from Everlance's own pages, with the day we read them, and every RoadKept figure is the one the product itself shows.

Who should pick which
Pick Everlance if what you want is automatic trip detection (background GPS), trip replay on a map and 1099 e-filing and the rest of its capture features. It has those today and RoadKept does not.
Pick RoadKept if you want to know what to hold back from every payout, what each quarterly payment is, and what your year-end Schedule C looks like, computed from your own records. Everlance's pages do not claim odometer start and end per trip, bulk paste of past shifts and a set-aside figure from your own numbers.
Many drivers run both: a capture app for the miles, RoadKept for the tax side. Paste the month's miles in and RoadKept does the arithmetic.
Worth knowing about Everlance
- Everlance Professional includes 1099 filing and a paid audit-defense service; those are its claims and we have not tested either.
- Its pricing page showed two different price lists on the day we read it, so the figures above are a range.
Questions drivers ask
How do RoadKept and Everlance prices compare?
RoadKept Pro is $7 a month or $69 a year, and the Free plan is $0 with no card. Starter: $8.99 to $10.99 a month, or $69.99 to $89.99 a year (Everlance's pricing page, checked 16 August 2026). Professional: $19.99 a month, or $99.99 to $119.99 a year (Everlance's pricing page, checked 16 August 2026). Each figure is that vendor's list price for a new subscriber on the day shown, and any of them can change, so read the pricing page before you decide. RoadKept's price is the one you join at for as long as your subscription stays active without a lapse.
Does RoadKept detect trips automatically like Everlance?
Not today. Everlance's page says it detects trips automatically in the background. RoadKept logs miles by manual entry, odometer readings, bulk paste of past shifts, or a foreground GPS tracker that pauses if your screen locks or you switch apps. If automatic trip detection is the one thing you need, Everlance has it and RoadKept does not.
What does RoadKept do that Everlance does not?
Going by Everlance's own pages, it does not offer, or only partly offers: odometer start and end per trip, bulk paste of past shifts, a set-aside figure from your own numbers, progressive federal brackets, not a flat rate, all four filing statuses, self-employment tax and QBI, quarterly deadlines with the amount due, safe-harbor underpayment tracking, standard mileage vs actual expenses, per vehicle, 1099 reconciliation against your own records, w-2 plus gig withholding optimizer, more than one business on one return, receipt scanning, earnings import from platform CSV, excel export with numeric cells, year-end package for a preparer, full web app and aI tax assistant. RoadKept does each of these, and the set-aside figure, the quarterly amounts and the year-end report are computed by code from your own records rather than estimated.
Can I use Everlance and RoadKept together?
Yes. Some drivers keep a mileage app for automatic trip detection and use RoadKept for the tax side: paste the month's miles in, and RoadKept computes the set-aside figure, the quarterly amounts and the year-end Schedule C report from them. Your records stay yours and export any time.
The Free plan needs no card. Pro is $7 a month or $69 a year, with a 14-day trial.
