Our take
Gridwise acts as a co-pilot to rideshare drivers. The app leverages data to help drivers maximise their earnings and track their business performance.
Gig driving markets are constantly in flux so keeping track of this data becomes near impossible. Gridwise puts the information a driver needs into a single place, aggregating statistics on pay, traffic and events in a major city, then directing drivers to areas and times when they’re likely to earn the most. It’s service is reputable due to its large user-base, now amounting to several hundreds of thousands, which provides the app with data on millions of transactions, in turn generating more usable insights.
Gridwise has evolved since its conception, now allowing users to compare earnings across different platforms, like Uber vs. Lyft. A 2022 investment round led by Crosslink Capital has allowed Gridwise to scale up both its team and its available tools, helping drivers to better manage their businesses.
