Hurdlr Pricing 2026: Hurdlr Cost for Premium, Pro and the Hurdlr App

Why Hurdlr does not put a price on its pricing page

We do not know why, and we are not going to guess at a motive. What we can report is what is there. On September 16, 2026 hurdlr.com/pricing described Hurdlr Premium in three lines about expenses, mileage and live tax estimates, described Hurdlr Pro in three lines about payments, bookkeepers and financial statements, offered an Enterprise contact form, and repeated a Try It Free button several times. No plan cards with figures, no comparison grid, no annual toggle.

To rule out a script that loads prices after the page renders, we downloaded the raw HTML and searched it for dollar amounts. There are three. None is a subscription price: $8 billion in finances tracked, $300 million, and a line saying freelancers find over $5,600 in deductions on average. The prices are not hidden in the source waiting for a widget. They are not on that page at all.

This is the opposite of the problem we found on the Everlance pricing page, where the current figures render correctly but an older, cheaper ladder is still sitting in the source code for scrapers to find. Different failure, same result for you: what search engines and comparison sites report about the price is unreliable, so it pays to read the primary source. For Hurdlr, the primary sources are the help center at university.hurdlr.com and the two app store listings.

What the Hurdlr free tier actually does, and where it stops

Hurdlr's no-cost tier is more useful than most free tiers in this category, and it is worth understanding before you pay for anything. You get mileage tracking, but semi-automatic rather than automatic: you tell the app when a drive starts and stops instead of it detecting trips in the background. Manual trips are unlimited. You get manual income and expense entry, real-time tax estimates as you enter figures, and basic reports.

The wall is automation. Linking a bank account or card so transactions import and categorize themselves is a Premium feature, as is background trip detection, as are the AI-suggested rules that make the categorization stop being a chore. If you drive ten business trips a month and enter a handful of expenses, the free tier genuinely covers it and you should not pay. If you drive daily, the free tier turns into a manual logging habit you will abandon in March, and an abandoned log is worth nothing at tax time.

That is the real test for the $9.99, and it is about your behavior rather than the feature list. Automatic tracking is worth paying for precisely because it survives the weeks you forget about it.

The Hurdlr price nobody writes about: the bank marketplace

Hurdlr distributes through Q2, the platform a large number of US banks and credit unions use to run their online banking. Inside that marketplace, Hurdlr Premium is sold as its own edition at $8 a month plus applicable taxes, with a 25% discount running that takes it to $6, a 7-day trial, one user, billed monthly, cancel anytime. The feature list shown against it is the standard Premium set: automatic mileage, automatic expense and income tracking, real-time tax calculations, speed tagging, work hours, custom rules and report exports.

Read that against the direct price and the arithmetic is straightforward. List is $8 versus $9.99, so $96 a year against $119.88, and even against the $99.99 annual plan the marketplace list price is cheaper while keeping monthly billing. At the discounted $6 it is $72 a year, about 28% below the best direct price.

The catch is access. You cannot simply go and buy this edition. It appears if your own bank or credit union offers the Q2 marketplace inside its digital banking, so the practical step is to log into your business banking and look for a marketplace, apps or offers section before you subscribe on hurdlr.com. It takes two minutes and on the discounted rate it is worth about $28 a year. We have not seen this mentioned in any Hurdlr pricing article.

Why Pro costs $200 and cannot be bought in the app

Hurdlr Pro is $200 a year, per the help center article that covers it, and there is no monthly option. Upgrading from Premium prorates, so the unused portion of a Premium subscription is applied against the Pro price rather than lost.

What you get for the extra $100.01 is two different things bundled together. The first is a real set of accounting features: a chart of accounts, a general ledger, tracking for assets, equity and liabilities, manual journal entries, invoicing with payment collection, home office deduction tracking, advanced reports and the ability to invite your accountant. That is the difference between an app that logs your money and an app that keeps books.

The second is the annual tax filing, federal plus one state, included for US non-enterprise Pro users. That is the item doing most of the work in the value calculation, because a self-employed return handled by a preparer commonly costs $300 to $600, as our breakdown of what an accountant costs when you are self-employed sets out.

Worth knowing before you plan around it: Pro is absent from both app stores. Apple lists exactly two Hurdlr in-app purchases, Premium monthly at $9.99 and Premium annual at $99.99. Google Play's in-app purchase range runs $5.99 to $99.99 per item. Neither has a $200 item, so Pro is bought on the web, which also means an App Store refund request is not an option on it.

Refunds, cancelling, and why the billing rail matters

Hurdlr's refund policy is candid about being restrictive. Because you can try the product, choose between plans and cancel at any time without contacting anyone, refund requests are rarely granted. Cancelling stops the renewal and leaves your paid features running until the end of the term you already paid for, so there is no reason to delay a cancellation you have decided on.

The exception is the one that makes the app store question practical rather than trivia. If you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, you can ask Apple or Google for a refund under their own policies and windows, which are more generous than Hurdlr's. If you subscribed on the web, Hurdlr's policy is the only one that applies. Same product, same price within a cent, materially different position if you change your mind in week two.

So if you are undecided and the penny difference is irrelevant to you, subscribing to Premium through the app store buys you a refund route that the web plan does not offer. And since Pro is web-only, a Pro subscription never has that route, which is one more reason to spend a year on Premium before committing $200.

The prices still circulating that Hurdlr does not charge

Search for what Hurdlr costs and a good share of what comes back is wrong, in a consistent direction: too low and too old. The comparison text feeding several directory pages right now states that Hurdlr is free with manual tracking or $7.99 a month or $60 a year. Those numbers are not close to the current ones. Premium is $9.99 a month and $99.99 or $100 a year, which is 25% above that monthly figure and two thirds above that annual figure.

The mechanism is easy to follow once you know the pricing page carries no figures. A directory cannot scrape a price that is not there, so it falls back to whatever was recorded when a human last filled in the profile, and every site that copies that profile inherits the same stale number. It then sits there, confidently, for years.

The practical rule is the same one we reached after checking Everlance, MileIQ and Link My Books: for a subscription price, read the vendor's own help center or the app store listing, and treat every review site, comparison grid and roundup as a lead rather than a fact. We publish the figures on this site with the date and the source attached for exactly that reason, and when we find we have been carrying a stale number ourselves we correct it and say so.

Who Hurdlr is priced right for, and who it is not

Hurdlr is priced well for the person it was designed around: someone self-employed whose largest deduction is the vehicle and whose income and expenses arrive as ordinary bank and card transactions. A rideshare or delivery driver, a real estate agent, a sales rep, a mobile trade. For that person $9.99 a month is cheap against what the mileage deduction alone is worth, and Pro at $200 with a filed return is a defensible way to buy the whole tax problem at once.

It is priced poorly for one specific situation, and it is the one this site exists for. If your money arrives as platform payouts, Hurdlr sees the deposit and nothing behind it. When it records a $412.60 Etsy deposit, that is a true fact and also the loss of the three numbers you needed: that the gross sale was $520, that fees took $107.40, and that the effective rate on that payout was 20.7%. Your 1099-K reports the gross. Build a Schedule C from net deposits and your receipts are understated by exactly the fee total.

That is a different job, not a better one. Earnly puts gross, fees and take-home for twelve platforms on one board, starting at $12 a month billed yearly, and it keeps no ledger and posts nothing to QuickBooks. A driver who also sells on Etsy is genuinely better off with both, and the honest total for that stack is Hurdlr Premium plus Earnly Solo, not a fight between them.
