── The problem with generic expense apps
Expensify was built for your boss.
You don't have a boss.
You're a 1099 contractor. Every dollar of qualified expense is a dollar the IRS stops touching. But generic receipt apps just scan — they don't know that your phone is 80% deductible, that brake pads beat the standard mileage rate on a Prius, or that solo lunches aren't meals.
Solo lunches misclassified as deductible meals (audit risk)
Mileage logs missing IRS-required odometer + business purpose
Section 179 vs. depreciation choices that cost you $1,200+
Home office deductions left untouched because nobody told you how

── Real 1099 filers
For the 67 million Americans the W-2 apps forgot.
I found $3,200 in missed deductions from last year alone — phone, brake job, AAA. The mileage tracker beats Stride and Hurdlr because it shows me the tax dollars saved, not just miles.
My CPA used to charge $400 to organize my shoebox. Now I export a Schedule C-ready CSV and pay her $120 to just file. The home office calculator nailed my pro-rata utilities.
I tried Expensify and got categories like 'Business Meals: Travel.' Useless. Deductly knows that my $14 Chipotle solo lunch isn't deductible — and tells me why.
