Different purposes

Xero is a full accounting platform designed for bookkeeping, invoicing, payroll and financial reporting. It includes basic mileage tracking as one of many features. MileageCalendar is a dedicated platform for mileage tracking, quoting, invoicing, expenses and appointment management.

If you need full accounting software, Xero is excellent. If you need dedicated mileage tracking and business management tools, MileageCalendar is more focused and feature-rich in that area.

Mileage tracking comparison

MileageCalendar offers automatic GPS tracking, calendar-based mileage entries, postcode-to-postcode calculation, HMRC rate application and the 10,000 mile threshold tracking. Xero offers manual mileage entry with rate application.

For sole traders who drive for business, MileageCalendar's automatic tracking captures significantly more journeys than manual entry, leading to higher mileage claims.

Working together

MileageCalendar and Xero are not mutually exclusive. MileageCalendar can export mileage claims to Xero as journal entries, so you get the best of both — automatic mileage tracking in MileageCalendar and full accounting in Xero.

This integration means you do not have to choose. Use MileageCalendar for mileage, quotes, invoices and expenses, and export the financial data to Xero for your accounting.
