Odie vs MileIQ
MileIQ is one of the oldest names in mileage tracking. It runs on more than one platform, has a web dashboard, and sells team plans. Odie is a newer, smaller app for the iPhone that keeps your trips on your phone and never asks you to make an account. Here is how the two line up.

|---|---|---|
| How a trip starts | By itself when your car’s hands-free Bluetooth appears and motion confirms you are driving. Motion-only mode for cars that do not pair. | Not checked by us; see their site. |
| Account needed | No. Nothing to sign up for. | Yes, an account is required. |
| Third-party analytics in the app | None. No third-party SDKs at all. | The App Store label lists Data Used to Track You. |

Who should pick Odie
Drivers in Canada who want the CRA two-tier rate and French built in, who would rather not create an account, and who want a mileage log that stays on the phone with no analytics or tracking code in the app.
Questions
Can I move my MileIQ history into Odie?
Not today. Odie has no importer for other apps. You can keep your old reports as PDFs and start a fresh log in Odie on a clean date, which is how the CRA expects a logbook to read anyway.
Does Odie have a web dashboard like MileIQ?
No. Odie runs on the iPhone only, and that is a direct result of keeping your trips off our servers. Reports and exports are made on the phone and shared from there.
Is Odie available now?
Not yet. Odie is in the final stretch before launch. Leave your email on the support page and you will hear when it ships.
