TripLog Basic FAQ
How Is Basic different from our old Lite plan?
TripLog Basic is a direct upgrade from our previous Lite plan. We’ve enhanced your free plan by adding unlimited automatic trip detection, previously a Premium-only feature, while keeping all the features you’re familiar with from Lite!
Is Basic really free forever?
Yes! TripLog Basic is our free-forever plan. You can continue using automatic trip detection and core mileage tracking features at no cost, indefinitely.
When should I use my 7-Day Premium Pass?
We recommend saving your Premium Pass for tax season. TripLog Basic only allows for limited reporting, which may not be enough for all TripLog users.
While you can use it at any time to test out all of TripLog Premium’s features, your Premium Pass also allows you to access unlimited reporting without limitations, making it perfect for downloading your annual report for your taxes.
Does my Premium Pass roll over?
No, Premium Passes don’t roll over to the next calendar year. Each Basic user receives one 7-day Premium Pass per calendar year, so make sure to use it when you need it most!
