A motorcycle means freedom, but it also means a steady stream of small expenses: fuel, oil, chain, tyres, insurance. As long as you keep them in your head, the season seems fairly cheap. Start writing them down, though, and the numbers often come as a surprise. On top of that, changing the oil and lubing the chain on time directly affects how long your bike lasts - and your safety.
We looked at 9 popular apps for tracking fuel, expenses and maintenance and rated them from a rider's point of view: how well they handle several vehicles, whether they offer mileage-based reminders, how they cope with seasonal riding and how much the full version costs.
Prices and terms are as of October 2026 and may vary by region.
What riders should look for
- Mileage-based reminders, not just date-based ones. A motorcycle's chain, oil, spark plugs and tyres are replaced by distance, so a "in 6 months" reminder won't help much.
- Multiple vehicles. Most riders also own a car, so it's handy to keep everything in one place.
- Seasonality. A winter break shouldn't "break" your fuel consumption stats.
- Offline use and backups. You don't always have signal on the road, and you don't want to lose your service history.
- Ads and subscriptions. A banner covering half the screen gets in the way when you want to log a fill-up right at the pump.
1. Drivvo
One of the best-known vehicle expense tracking apps. Platforms: Android, iOS. Pricing: free version with ads, Premium subscription (roughly from €1 per month or $6–12 per year, depending on the region).
Pros:
- Very broad feature set: fuel, service, fines, insurance, taxes, income.
- Date- and mileage-based reminders.
- Supports multiple vehicles.
- Cloud sync across devices.
Cons:
- Ads in the free version.
- CSV/Excel data export and advanced charts are Premium-only.
- An account is required to use it fully.
- The interface feels cluttered if all you need is simple fuel tracking.
For riders: a good fit if you're willing to put up with ads or pay for a subscription.
2. Fuelio
An app of Polish origin, now owned by Sygic (the navigation app developer). Platforms: Android, iOS. Pricing: the basic version is free and ad-free; since 2023 some features have been part of a paid package.
Pros:
- No ads, even in the free version.
- Data is stored on the device; an account is optional.
- Detailed fuel consumption statistics and charts.
- Trip logging and community-sourced fuel prices.
Cons:
- Some newer features have moved into the paid package.
- The interface looks noticeably dated compared with newer apps.
- Backups rely on third-party cloud services (Google Drive, Dropbox).
For riders: one of the best free options for simple fuel tracking.
3. Simply Auto
An app focused on tracking mileage and expenses, including business trips. Platforms: Android, iOS. Pricing: free version with ads, GOLD and PLATINUM subscriptions.
Pros:
- Automatic trip tracking via GPS and Bluetooth.
- Date- and mileage-based maintenance reminders.
- Reports for business mileage reimbursement.
- High rating on Google Play.
Cons:
- Ads in the free version.
- Cloud sync is GOLD-only; unlimited vehicles require PLATINUM.
- Many features are geared towards the US market (tax reports, miles).
- Automatic tracking drains the battery noticeably.
For riders: GPS tracking works on a motorcycle, but riders usually don't need the business-trip features.
4. Fuelly / aCar
The US service Fuelly bought the popular aCar app some years ago. On Android it is still released as aCar by Fuelly, LLC; on iOS it's called Fuelly, and there is also a web version. Pricing: free version with ads, Premium subscription (~$8 per year).
Pros:
- Large community: you can compare your consumption with owners of the same model.
- Web version for working on a computer.
- Maintenance tracking with reminders.
Cons:
- Ads in the free version.
- Former aCar Pro users had to start paying a subscription after the switch, so the Android version's Google Play rating is low.
- US-oriented: gallons, miles, American models.
- Syncing with Fuelly requires an account.
For riders: the community database has fewer motorcycles than cars, so comparisons aren't always meaningful.
5. SkayCost
A relatively new app for tracking fuel, maintenance and expenses, built on the modern Flutter platform. Platform: Android only. Pricing: completely free, with no ads or subscriptions.
Pros:
- All features are free, with no ads.
- Dual-trigger reminders: a single reminder fires on both a date and a mileage. The app predicts when exactly you'll reach the target mileage based on your riding pace.
- Separate units for each vehicle: for example, km/L for the motorcycle and L/100 km for the car.
- Support for bi-fuel cars (petrol + LPG, petrol + CNG) and electric vehicles.
- Multi-line service records (labour, parts, consumables), plus photos and PDFs of receipts.
- Works fully offline. Google sync is optional.
- History import from CSV, including Drivvo exports.
- Interface in English and 17 other languages.
Cons:
- No iOS version.
- A young project: a smaller community than Drivvo or Fuelio.
- No automatic GPS trip tracking - trips are logged manually by odometer reading.
- No dedicated "motorcycle" type: all vehicles are handled the same way.
For riders: mileage-based reminders with a predicted date are handy for the chain and oil, and per-vehicle units let you track your motorcycle and car each in its usual format.
6. My Cars
An app with more than 15 years of history, fully redesigned in Material Design 3 style in 2026. Platform: Android. Pricing: free version with ads; advanced features via a separate My Cars Pro key app (one-time purchase).
Pros:
- Time-tested, with a stable user base.
- Fuel receipt scanning.
- Refreshed, modern interface.
- One-time Pro payment instead of a subscription.
Cons:
- Ads in the free version.
- Cloud backup, currencies and trip logging are Pro-only.
- No iOS version.
- After the major redesign, some familiar workflows have changed.
For riders: a good option if you prefer a one-time payment and don't mind buying Pro.
7. Spritmonitor
A German service with a long history and a large community. Platforms: Android, iOS, web. Pricing: free with ads, with in-app purchases.
Pros:
- Compare your fuel consumption with hundreds of thousands of other drivers and riders.
- Supports petrol, diesel, LPG and electric.
- Service and roadworthiness inspection reminders, photo and PDF attachments.
- Handy web version for analysing your data on a computer.
Cons:
- An account is required; data is stored on the service's servers.
- Ads in the app.
- The app has fewer features than the web version.
- The interface is bare-bones.
For riders: the database contains plenty of motorcycles, so comparing consumption with the same models is genuinely useful.
8. Road Trip MPG
A classic iPhone app. Platform: iOS only. Pricing: one-time purchase (~$7), with a free Lite version available.
Pros:
- No ads or subscriptions.
- Quick fill-up entry.
- Maintenance and expense tracking.
Cons:
- No Android version.
- English-only interface.
- The full version is paid.
For riders: suits iPhone owners who want to pay once and forget about it.
9. CARFAX Car Care
A free app from the well-known vehicle history check service. Platforms: Android, iOS. Pricing: free.
Pros:
- Automatically pulls in service history by VIN.
- Service reminders based on manufacturer data.
- Completely free.
Cons:
- Only works in the US and Canada.

For riders: not usable outside the US and Canada. We mention it because it's often recommended in English-language reviews.
