JoltMile vs MileClear
Both are UK apps for self-employed drivers, and both apply the HMRC mileage rates. MileClear is the better pick if you want automatic trip detection on every drive and a large free plan. JoltMile is built around a different question: what each shift actually paid you, once fuel, insurance and tax are taken off.
