Uber Eats vs Grubhub: Key Differences
Depending on which delivery app you choose to work for, there are many factors to consider before making your first leap. While Grunhub may be a delivery app similar to Uber Eats, there are a few things to note before you apply for them. I have organized the major key differences between Uber Eats and Grubhub and how they really differ from each other. Turns out, they are rather similar, with a few key differences.
| Factor | Uber Eats | Grubhub |
|---|---|---|
| Earnings Potential | High (Surge pricing and incentives) | More stable with lower earnings |
| Hourly Pay (Estimate) | $15-$25 | $15-$22 |
| Income Stability | Varies (best during peak hours) | More predictable |
| Tips | 100% to driver | 100% to driver |
| Bonuses | Surge pricing, quests | Mission bonuses, peak pay |
Overall, Uber Eats offers a higher earning potential, however Grubhub ensures a more stable income but with lower earning potential.
Earnings Using Uber Eats ($15-$25)
Depending on the city, Uber Eats pays more or less. However according to multiple drivers, the average is usually around $15 to $25 per hour, give or take on peak delivery hours. I also noticed that earnings also depend on the distance, time travelled, and pickup/dropoff fees.
I really think Uber Eats is worth it during the peak hours, as they usually give better bonuses and extra cash to supplement for the high demand. They also provide quests to incentive the driver to complete more deliveries for higher rewards. Which reminds me of how Freecash also uses quests to help you earn higher rewards, except you just need to sit on your couch, not deliver fast food.
