Question 1

Which delivery app pays the most?

Accepted Answer

Eaze is the highest paying app on this list – drivers earn $18-$26/hour on average. But Eaze isn’t available outside of California. Amazon Flex also pays drivers well at $18-$25/hour, but Amazon only hires new drivers based on need.

Postmates, DoorDash, Shipt, and Uber Eats drivers all earn in the $15-$20 range, and these companies are constantly looking for new drivers.

Question 4

Which is the best food delivery app to drive for?

Accepted Answer

All of these delivery apps are a little different – where they’re available, requirements, what the job is like. Because of that, I don’t think it’s possible to say one is the best in all situations.

Sorry if that’s what you came for. I’m just being honest.

Rather than telling you what the absolute best food delivery service to work for, here’s what you should look for:

Location: You can only deliver for the apps that operate in your area. Checking to see if it’s available in your area should be the first thing you do. But don’t completely rule out the smaller companies for the future, because most of them are growing and will need lots of new drivers when they expand to a new market.
Requirements: All of the delivery apps on this list have similar requirements, but if you’re 18, you have fewer options. For couriers who want to deliver by bike, pay attention to which apps allow it and the cities where this delivery option is available.
Flexibility: Delivery apps are inherently flexible, but some of the apps require you to schedule hours in advance and others let you take orders whenever you have extra time.

The reality is that you don’t have to pick just one app to deliver for – most successful drivers deliver for a couple of services. For example, you could schedule hours in advance for DoorDash but have the Postmates app open and pick up orders if you have downtime.
