Intuit retired QuickBooks Self-Employed and pushed everyone to a pricier bookkeeping suite. If you mostly needed mileage tracking + a tax-ready report, Routio is the focused, affordable replacement — $59.99/yr, no bloat, no account.
QuickBooks Self-Employed users are being moved to Solopreneur at $120+/yr. If mileage was your main reason to use it, Routio does that one job beautifully for less.

Everything QBSE did for your miles, in a focused app that costs half as much.
Routio detects every drive and logs it in the background — no buttons, no forgetting. Swipe Business or Personal, and it learns your routes so classifying is one tap.
One tap turns your year of drives into an IRS Schedule C summary with PDF & CSV exports — the mileage deduction figure you came to QuickBooks for, without the full accounting suite.
No sign-up, no upsells to a full bookkeeping suite. Your drives stay on your device and your private iCloud — never sent to our servers, never sold.
Intuit discontinued QuickBooks Self-Employed and migrated users to QuickBooks Solopreneur, a broader (and pricier) product. For people who mainly used it to track mileage and get a tax figure, that's more app and more money than they need.
No — and that's the point. Routio focuses on automatic mileage tracking and an IRS-ready Schedule C mileage deduction. It's simple, fast, and affordable. For full bookkeeping you'd use a dedicated tool; for miles + taxes, Routio is all you need.
Yes — Routio exports clean PDF and CSV reports plus a Schedule C summary you can hand straight to your accountant or drop into your tax software.
Routio is the focused, affordable home for your mileage deductions.
