The mileage tracker built for Instacart shoppers

Instacart tells you what a batch pays. It does not hand you a mileage log - not per batch, not at tax time. Every mile you drive shopping is documented by exactly one person: you. GigOdo does it automatically, so the deduction on a heavy shopping month actually makes it onto your Schedule C.

A shopper's miles add up faster than they look

A full-service batch isn't one drive. It's the run to the store, sometimes a second store, then a chained route to two or three customers - and then the drive to wherever the next batch pings. A busy shopper can put 400 to 600 miles a month on the car. At the current IRS rate of 76 cents per mile (72.5 cents before July 2026), 500 monthly miles is a $380/month deduction - $4,560 a year - that exists only if it's logged. Instacart won't log it. GigOdo will.

How shoppers use GigOdo

• Auto-Detect (Android) tracks the driving legs in the background while you shop; time parked at the store just doesn't add miles. Swipe right to keep, left to discard.
• Home Zone: leave home, tracking starts; pull back in, it stops. Zero taps on shopping days.
• Log the whole payout - batch pay plus tip - against the batch's miles. Instacart earnings are tip-heavy, and your real $/mile only makes sense with tips included. Too busy? Type "3 batches $87 total incl tips, about 45 miles" into Paste Your Day and approve what the AI extracts.
• Fuel log: your fill-ups become your true cost per mile, so "net after fuel" reflects your car, not an average.
• Tax time: deduction totals all year, free CSV export, and a CPA-ready report pack in Pro.

Which batches are actually worth it?

A $30 batch that chains three customers across 22 miles is not the same money as a $30 single-drop two miles away. Because GigOdo pairs every payout with its miles, your history tells you your personal break-even - and the weekly AI review will point out patterns like "your Sunday morning batches averaged $2.10/mi, double your weekday rate."
