Uber Driver Holds Its Lead In the Provider Ranking of Gig Apps

With PYMNTS research finding that more Americans are adding side hustles to ease paycheck-to-paycheck living pressures, our Provider Ranking of Gig Apps is the ideal place to see this class of apps at work, so to speak, as the rankings reflect downloads and activity on those platforms.

The Top 5

As certain apps appear to solidify chart positions, we see no changes in the Top 5 this month.

Uber Driver keeps its top billing at No. 1.

At No. 2 is DoorDash.

As has been the case for a few months, Instacart Shopper is solid at No. 3.

Online freelance marketplace app Fiverr keeps its gig at No. 4.

Finishing out the Top 5 at No. 5 is Amazon Flex. No change there.

The Top 10

It’s often the case that things get a bit more changeable as we progress past the Top 5, and we see that in this latest ranking as freelancer app Upwork keeps its spot at No. 6 but is now tied with the Lyft Driver app, which rises a spot.

Grubhub for Drivers drops one chart position to No. 7 this month.

Ready to jump into action at No. 8, it’s the TaskRabbit app.

No change at No. 9 as the Freelancer app keeps its spot.

Taking us out on a newly formed tie for No. 10, it’s the Snagajob app (already so ranked) and now joined there by U.K.-based PeoplePerHour entering the Top 10 at No. 10.
