What Stride is

Stride is a free app for independent workers to track work miles, income, and expenses, prepare tax information, explore insurance options, and find everyday deals. It is available on Android, iOS, and the web. Users start mileage tracking manually in the app. On iOS, the app can remind users to start a drive when the phone is moving faster than 5 mph and charging.

Expenses can be entered manually or reviewed from a linked bank or credit card account, where users can select deductible business expenses. Stride tracks miles, income, and expenses, can produce an IRS-ready tax summary, and lets users send themselves a tax report from the app. For insurance, it provides personalized health plan recommendations, helps users apply, and offers dental, vision, and life plan options. The website may not support enrollment in all Qualified Health Plans available in a user's state through HealthCare.gov. The Deals tab presents local discounts based on ZIP code, or national deals when location services are off. Stride gives rideshare and delivery drivers, real estate agents, and insurance agents as examples of the independent workers it serves.
