Gig App Provider Ranking Salutes a New Number One As Big Brands Boom

From the fairly forgettable 1990 film “Cadence” starring Hollywood father-son team Martin and Charlie Sheen, four words of dialogue — “a gig for Bean!” — have achieved a certain cult status.

In that case, a “gig” was an unwanted task like peeling potatoes or cleaning latrines.

As for PYMNTS Provider Ranking of Gig Economy Apps, it’s the exact opposite. Word has it that Charlie is between gigs at the moment, so we urge him and all gig seekers to take a quick read.

Let’s do the rankings. This one doesn’t take long.

The Top 5

Surprise, surprise. New at No. 1 it’s DoorDash climbing a spot.

That gain is at the expense of rival Uber Driver, down one this month to No. 2.

Instacart is unchanged at No. 3. It feels like they’re always right there. Impressive.

Likewise, the Amazon Flex app is sticking to its position at No. 4.

What’s this? Grubhub for Drivers climbs one crucial chart position — from No. 6 to No. 5 — this cycle, bringing it into the Top 5 and taking us out of the same. Well done, Grubhub.

The Top 10

The Fiverr app drops a spot to No. 6 this cycle. Does that make it a “sixerr?” Certainly not.

Now for three in a row that haven’t budged.

Upwork is solid at No. 7 finding gigs for folks.

At No. 8 it’s Lyft Driver, cruising nicely.

Still a bunny at No. 9 as the TaskRabbit app stays in the Top 10 yet again.

We end this month as we did last, with the aptly named Freelancer app at No. 10.

That’s the Provider Ranking of Gig Economy Apps. Now go make some money.
