Quilometragem vs TripLog

Compare Quilometragem and TripLog on pricing, automatic detection, multi-currency, audit trail, and team workflows. Includes free migration steps.

Quick verdict

TripLog is the most feature-rich US mileage tracker with multiple auto-detection modes (Bluetooth, MagicTrip, plug-in device). Quilometragem is the lighter, multi-currency, Clara-integrated alternative. TripLog wins on auto-detection depth; Quilometragem wins on price, multi-currency, and audit-grade archival.

TripLog has the broadest auto-detection feature set in the US category. They support Bluetooth-based detection, a MagicTrip mode that uses motion sensors, and an optional in-car USB device for the most aggressive automation. For drivers who want zero-touch tracking and don't mind some battery cost, TripLog is hard to beat on capture quality.

The trade-offs are price and scope. TripLog's free tier caps at 40 trips/month, Premium is US$ 5.99/user/month, and Enterprise tiers add up. The product is US-focused — no BRL, MXN, or COP support, English-only UI — and the auto-detection complexity has a learning curve some users find off-putting.

Quilometragem is the simpler, multi-currency alternative. We default to manual / opt-in tracking (which preserves battery), expose multi-currency receipts, ship a Clara-native CSV, and keep the free tier truly unlimited for individual use.

Pricing

Quilometragem: Free forever for individual receipts. Team plans start at US$ 4/user/month with unlimited GPS trips, multi-currency receipts, Clara CSV export, and audit-grade PDF archival.

TripLog: Lite: 40 trips/month free. Premium: US$ 5.99/user/month or US$ 59.88/year. Team: US$ 10/user/month. Enterprise: contact sales.

TripLog's value is the multi-mode auto-detection; if you don't need that, Quilometragem is materially cheaper.
