## Short answer

Fuelly is a good fit if you mainly want MPG charts and a synced Fuelly.com page, and none of the apps here is a drop-in copy of it. If your real need is a service record with documents and deadlines, add an app built for that and keep Fuelly for fuel-ups.

- **Choose this if:** Choose Carumi if you want service history, paperwork, deadlines and a Vehicle Passport PDF for every car you own.
- **Choose the other option if:** Choose Fuelly if you mainly want MPG calculations and a synced web page, or Drivvo or My Car if you want a broader expense tracker.

## What Fuelly is built to do

Fuelly tracks fuel economy and maintenance. At each fuel-up you add miles, gallons and price per gallon, and the app calculates MPG and charts it. The listing says it syncs with Fuelly.com, supports several vehicles and lets you store details like VIN and license plate.

It also has customizable service reminders with presets for oil changes and tire rotations, photo and PDF attachments, and CSV email reports. As listed on October 1, 2026, the app is free, rated 4.7 from 29,552 ratings, and its last update was on June 3, 2024. Fuelly Premium removes ads, adds photos and PDFs to records and adds location autocomplete.


## Why people look for something else

You might want a wider expense tracker, a more recent update, or a record that proves the car was looked after. Fuelly's listing centers on fuel economy and maintenance, and it does not mention EV charging, trip logs or income tracking.

The update date matters if you want an app that is actively maintained. A listing last updated in 2024 may still work for you, so check that it runs on your phone and fits your iOS version before relying on it.


## Three alternatives and where each is stronger

Drivvo is free, rated 4.7 from 968 ratings and updated on September 30, 2026. Its listing covers refueling, EV and hybrid charging, expenses, income, routes, checklists and reminders, plus fleet tools, and it can restore data from other apps. It suits work drivers and anyone who wants fuel, costs and routes in one app.

My Car - Vehicle Manager is free for up to 3 vehicles and rated 4.7 from 1,166 ratings. Its listing offers fuel and EV logs, mileage and trips, a web app, and import from Fuelio, Fuelly, Drivvo and My Cars. Cloud sync, PDF reports, smart reminders and more vehicles need Premium.

Vehicle Maintenance Tracker is free, rated 4.3 from 2,925 ratings, and focuses on maintenance records. Its listing mentions vehicle details, due dates, receipt photos, archiving old vehicles and CSV export. It does not mention fuel tracking, so it fits an owner who only wants a service file.


## Where Carumi fits

Carumi is a vehicle passport for iPhone. You scan the VIN and paperwork on the device, log each service with its receipt, and let schedules by date, mileage or both tell you what is due. Insurance, inspection, tax, registration and warranty reminders arrive on the date they matter.

It also shows ownership cost, with spending by category and period and mileage history. When you sell, you share a Vehicle Passport PDF with controls over what appears. It is a service record first, so it is not a Fuelly replacement for every MPG chart.


## What to check before you switch

Start with your data. If you have years of fill-ups in Fuelly, look for an app that lists import from it, as My Car does, or export a CSV first, which Fuelly's listing says it supports by email. Then check the iOS version each app needs: the listings state minimums from iOS 9.3 for Fuelly to iOS 17 for Drivvo.

Next, check where the free limit sits. My Car lists up to 3 vehicles free and moves cloud sync, PDF reports and smart reminders to Premium. Fuelly lists ad removal and photo and PDF records under Premium.


## How to choose

If you want MPG charts and a web page of your mileage, stay with Fuelly or look at My Car, which imports Fuelly data. If you want fuel, income and routes together, Drivvo is built for it. If you only need maintenance dates and receipts, Vehicle Maintenance Tracker keeps it simple.

If you want the whole history of the car in order, with papers and deadlines, a service record fits. Many owners will use a fuel app and a record together.

## Our pick: Carumi, for the service file behind the mileage

Fuelly, Drivvo and My Car are stronger on MPG, fuel types, routes and imports, and Carumi does not replace them for those. Carumi is for the owner who wants each car's history in order: VIN and papers scanned, services with receipts, deadlines on time and a Vehicle Passport PDF to hand over. Keep a fuel app beside it if you like the charts.

- Service history with receipts and photos
- Reminders by date, mileage or whichever comes first
- Vehicle Passport PDF with privacy controls
