Why it matters
Knowing your number
is not the same as changing it.
The core difference
Hurdlr tracks what you owe. We help you owe less.
Hurdlr is a tax tracking app — it watches your income, categorizes expenses, and gives you a running estimate of what you'll owe the IRS. That's useful for awareness. But knowing your tax number doesn't change it. Off Record gives you the strategy and the CPA to actually reduce it — S-Corp elections, quarterly planning, creator-specific deductions, entity optimization.
Filing
Hurdlr doesn't file your taxes.
Hurdlr helps you prepare and estimate. At tax time, you still need to export your data and hand it to a CPA or file it yourself with a DIY tool. Off Record includes creator-specialized CPA filing at the Audit and CFO tiers — so your strategy and your filing are handled in one place by someone who understands creator income.
Creator focus
Hurdlr is built for freelancers broadly. We're built for creators specifically.
Hurdlr works for any freelancer or gig worker. Off Record is built around how creators specifically make money — brand deals, gifted products, multi-platform payouts, usage rights fees, TikTok Shop, affiliate income. Our tools, deduction checklist, and CPA partners are calibrated for creator businesses, not freelancers in general.
Score and strategy
We give you a Creator Score — a single number for your financial health.
Hurdlr shows you your tax balance. Off Record gives you a Creator Financial Score across five categories — tax readiness, entity structure, deduction coverage, compliance, and income tracking. You see exactly where you're weak and get a prioritized action plan to fix it. It's not just tracking. It's a strategy.
