Hurdlr is excellent at one thing: tracking miles automatically in the background while you drive. SendToBooks is built for the other half of the problem — the paper and email receipts that pile up when your costs are materials, not just mileage.

Hurdlr captures what you photograph in the app on your device. SendToBooks gives you an email inbox too, so an emailed order confirmation, a supplier invoice, or a receipt your spouse took all land in the same place without touching your phone.
If a crew lead buys materials or an assistant handles supply runs, they can send receipts straight into your books with a shared link. Hurdlr is designed around one person and one phone.
Hurdlr fits a driver whose main deduction is mileage. If you are a contractor, landlord, or trades business, the bigger number is materials — dozens of receipts a month across jobs, which is what books and per-job categories are for.
On the Professional plan an advisor works across a whole roster of clients, with each client approving the link first and able to revoke it. That is a different shape from a personal tracking app.

If your deductions are mostly miles, Hurdlr beats us and it is not close. Automatic GPS tracking that logs trips without you remembering is genuinely better than texting in a trip at the end of the day, and their free tier is real. A rideshare or delivery driver whose costs are fuel and mileage should probably use Hurdlr. Come to us when the receipts start outnumbering the trips.
Consider both, or pick based on the bigger number. If mileage is most of your deduction, Hurdlr's automatic tracking is worth more. If materials and supplies dominate, receipt capture matters more. They cost little enough that running both is reasonable for a mixed business.
No. We do not run GPS in the background. You text the trip — where you went and the miles — and it is logged against a vehicle and a book. That is deliberate: no location tracking and no battery drain, but it does require you to send it.
Only if you have a receipt problem. If you are capturing a handful of expenses a month and mostly need mileage, the free tier is hard to argue with. The $20/mo makes sense when receipts arrive faster than you file them, or when other people are spending on your behalf.
Yes, on the Professional plan, and only after you approve the link. Your advisor sends an invitation, you accept it, and either of you can revoke access later. Until you approve, they see nothing.
