The Hurdlr Alternative for Freelancers

Hurdlr: Real-time income, expense, and mileage tracking for gig workers. Built for gig workers who want bank-linked, real-time profit tracking.

Short answer: Hurdlr is a capable real-time tracker that links your accounts to follow income, expenses, and mileage. It overlaps with NeoReceipt, the main difference is capture style: Hurdlr leans on bank links, while NeoReceipt is receipt-first and captures cash and Venmo by photo or forwarding, with Schedule C categories and stored receipt images for audit.

Why freelancers choose NeoReceipt over Hurdlr

Hurdlr is popular with rideshare and delivery drivers for automatic mileage and bank-linked expense tracking.

NeoReceipt's edge is documentation: it keeps the actual receipt image and reads each line item, which matters when you want audit-ready proof, not just a transaction list.
