PlatformTaxHub vs Hurdlr

The Multi-Stream Alternative to Hurdlr

Hurdlr is built around the drive: miles, expenses, a US tax estimate. If your income also comes from YouTube, Etsy, Upwork or Airbnb, you need a layer that understands all of it.

Tracks the Drive

"Every mile counted. The income column stays blank."

  • Optimised for mileage-led gig work, not creator or marketplace income
  • US-centric tax logic
  • Platform fees are not separated from gross income
  • No multi-currency consolidation for cross-border payouts

The PlatformTaxHub Way

Automated, Unified, Clear

The Payout Side, Filled In

"Gross rebuilt from net, fee by fee, across every app you drive or deliver for."

Gross before fees
reconstructed
  • Built for six platform economies, not just driving
  • Country-specific tax logic beyond the US
  • Separates gross income, platform fees and real net earnings
  • Multi-currency conversion

When Hurdlr is the better choice

If you drive full time and your single biggest tax lever is mileage, stay with Hurdlr. Automatic GPS trip capture running quietly in the background is a real capability we do not have, and no amount of income consolidation makes up for manually reconstructing thousands of miles at year end. For a US driver or courier whose income is essentially one platform and one currency, Hurdlr is the better-fitting tool.
