Cashout vs Everlance
Everlance is a mileage and expense tracker built around automatic GPS trip logging. Cashout is a free shift and tip tracker for tipped workers. They overlap on mileage and receipts and not much else.
Who should pick which
Pick Everlance if driving is where your deductions come from (delivery, rideshare, or any self-employed work where you're on the road) and you want every trip logged without thinking about it. Automatic GPS tracking is the core of the app, and Cashout has nothing like it.
Pick Cashout if you're paid in tips at a job like serving, bartending or hair, and you want to log each shift's hours, wages, cash tips, card tips and tip-outs, see what you really make an hour, and estimate your taxes for free.
Use both if you wait tables and also drive for a delivery app. Let Everlance catch the miles and keep your shifts and tips in Cashout. The two apps don't share data.
What each app is
Everlance describes itself on Google Play as "built for self-employed workers, gig drivers, and anyone who uses their car for work." The app "runs quietly in the background, automatically detecting and logging every drive using GPS," and you can scan receipts and log business expenses next to your driving log. Its App Store listing says it generates "IRS-compliant reports." Neither listing mentions tips.
Cashout is built around the shift. You pick a job, enter your hours and hourly rate, cash tips, card tips and tip-out, and it works out your effective hourly rate (wages plus net tips divided by hours), your tips by day and section, and a tax estimate. Mileage and expenses are there too, but you enter trips by hand. It works with no account and offline.

What Everlance does better
- Automatic mileage. Everlance logs drives in the background by GPS. If you forget to write a trip down, Cashout has no way to catch it, and missed miles are missed deductions for a 1099 driver.
- A fuller deduction picture for the self-employed. The Professional plan lists automatic expense tracking and an "AI deduction finder" (marked iOS only in the pricing page's comparison table) on top of mileage and receipts. Cashout's expenses are manual entries and receipt scans.
- Tax filing. Everlance's Play listing says Professional subscribers can "file taxes directly from the app with $1 million in IRS audit protection." Cashout doesn't file taxes. It gives you a tax summary PDF and spreadsheet exports to take to your preparer or tax software.
- Teams. Everlance's help center describes team accounts where an admin can let "team members" sync bank accounts and cards so transactions arrive in Everlance for reimbursement. Cashout is for individual workers only.
What Cashout does better
- Tips and shifts. Every shift records hours, wage, cash tips, card tips and tip-out, so you see net tips and your real hourly rate per shift, per job and per period. Tip Split divides a tip pool by points, and Tip Reporting compares what you earned with what you reported to your employer.
- Paychecks. Paycheck Check compares a pay stub with the shifts you logged in that period, and Cash Flow projects whether your expected income covers your bills.
- W-2 tax estimates. The Taxes screen estimates federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare, and state tax for all 50 states and DC on your wages and tips, and tracks what you set aside. See tax estimates.
- Price. Every Cashout feature is free. Everlance's free Basic plan caps automatic tracking at 30 trips a month.
- No account. Cashout works offline with no sign-in. Your shifts stay on your phone unless you turn on sync.
Where Cashout falls short
- No GPS mileage and no trip import. Every trip is typed in. For a full-time driver that's a real cost in time and missed miles.
- No bank or card connection. Expenses don't import from your accounts.
- No tax filing. You still need a preparer or tax software.
- The iPhone app is behind Android. The App Store version is 5.0.0, English only. It values every mile at a flat 70 cents and has no self-employment (1099) tax estimate; that estimate is Android only for now.
- No Tax on Tips isn't in the app yet. The tax estimate doesn't include the new tips or overtime deductions. Use the No Tax on Tips calculator for that.
- The AI Coach needs an account. It's limited to 50 questions a month.
Price as listed
On October 16, 2026, Everlance's pricing page listed a free Basic plan with "30 automatically tracked trips a month" and manual tracking, a Starter plan that adds "Unlimited automatic mileage tracking," and a Professional plan that adds automatic expense tracking and "All-inclusive 1099 tax filing."
The same page showed two different sets of paid prices that day and didn't say which one applies. One set listed Starter at $89.99 a year or $10.99 a month and Professional at $119.99 a year or $19.99 a month. The other listed Starter at $69.99 a year or $8.99 a month and Professional at $99.99 a year. Its App Store listing shows in-app purchases from $7.99 (Everlance Premium) to $119.99 (Everlance Premium Plus), under names that don't match the pricing page's plans. The pricing page also says new users can sign up for a 7-day free trial of Starter, and that you need to enter a credit card to start it. Because the listed prices don't agree, check the price in the app before you pay.
Cashout is free. There's nothing to buy and no ads.
If you drive for work
The IRS says you "can't deduct commuting expenses no matter how far your home is from your regular place of work," so for most tipped workers mileage only matters on 1099 work like delivery or rideshare. The mileage deduction guide explains which miles count, and the mileage calculator works out the deduction at the IRS rate.
