Simple is a mileage-tracking app centered on being “free, automatic, and smart.” It primarily targets individual users who need to record business driving mileage, especially gig-economy workers in the U.S. and people who can claim business mileage deductions. It uses background trip-detection algorithms to automatically identify driving trips, then lets users review and categorize them in the app to create a mileage log for tax deductions or reimbursement purposes.
Based on the publicly available copy, Simple’s core features include automatic trip detection, background tracking, trip review, trip categorization, and assistance with tax deductions. On the team side, the company offers “Simple for Teams,” positioned as a way for organizations to simplify mileage tracking and reimbursement. However, it does not disclose common business-software capabilities such as approval workflows, member permissions, an admin dashboard, or report exports, so the maturity of its team collaboration features is hard to assess. The terms also mention that users may connect third-party gig-economy platforms, personal email accounts, or other supported platforms, and authorize access to account information, but no specific integrations are listed.
Simple uses a freemium model. The free plan has a monthly usage allowance, which the company says is sufficient for most users. Premium membership is subscription-based: $4.99 per month or $41.99 per year, equivalent to about $3.49/month. Details for the team plan require contacting the company by email or phone; feature packages and pricing are not publicly disclosed. For individual mileage tracking, the entry price is low and the value for money is strong.
Simple is deployed as a mobile app plus a cloud-based website service, with data stored on the company’s servers. No self-hosting option is mentioned. The terms explicitly involve location and usage data, and state that user-uploaded content is not completely secure and may be accessed by third parties. Users can request account and server data deletion by email, but backup systems may retain data until scheduled deletion. Public materials do not mention SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, encryption mechanisms, or enterprise audit capabilities, which is a clear weakness for enterprise procurement.
Its strengths are a high level of automation, free availability, and transparent subscription pricing. It is well suited to freelancers, rideshare/delivery gig workers, and small teams with lightweight reimbursement needs. Its drawbacks are limited detail on the team edition, sparse security and compliance disclosures, and a product narrative clearly built around U.S. tax mileage deductions. Its fit with China’s local tax rules, invoice handling, and reimbursement workflows is unknown.
The public copy does not provide information on access from mainland China, supported payment methods, or localization, so this remains unknown. If used in China, key points to verify include app availability, map/location stability, subscription payment options, and compliance around cross-border data transfer. Comparable products include MileIQ, Everlance, TripLog, and Expensify. If China-specific reimbursement workflows are required, local expense-control or travel reimbursement systems may also need to be considered.
