They Don't Want You to Choose Better. We Do.

Last week alone, thousands of drivers across the country got messages from Lyft.

The emails sound official. Even threatening.

These messages suggest that using tools to earn more profits might lead to account deactivation or other penalties.

Let's be clear: these warnings are designed to scare you.

Why? Because when you start thinking like a business owner — filtering out bad trips, rejecting unfair payouts, or simply slowing down to evaluate your options — you become less predictable. Less profitable for them. More in control of your own time and money.

And that's exactly what these companies fear.

Here's what the platforms don't want you to know:

They don't send these messages because they care about your account. 

They send them because they know that when drivers start cherry-picking their rides by choosing only what makes sense financially — the system starts to shift.

Their control weakens. Their profit margins shrink. The platforms lose the ability to push low-paying rides onto people just trying to make ends meet.

The numbers tell the story. When drivers use business tools like GigU, their average profits increase by up to 30%. That money comes from somewhere. It comes from the platforms' healthy cuts.

This same week, both Uber and Lyft successfully lobbied New York City to reduce proposed driver pay increases, according to Bloomberg. While drivers asked for fair wages, the platforms pushed back — and won. It's the same pattern everywhere: profits over people

But here's the truth: you're not doing anything wrong if you're using GigU. 

You're not breaking any rules.

GigU doesn't log in to your Uber, Lyft, or any other app account. We don't access proprietary data, we don't connect via APIs, and we don't interfere with the platforms in any way. 

GigU operates entirely on your device — analyzing the information already visible on your screen and helping you make smarter, faster, more informed decisions about your work.

Think of it like this: if you were standing next to another driver, watching their phone, and giving them advice about which rides to take, would that violate any terms of service? 

Of course not. That's exactly what GigU does, except faster and more accurately.

GigU is 100% invisible to the platforms. You don't need to worry about account flags or deactivation. We don't automate your actions, we don't touch your profile, and we don't leave a trace.

The only thing we do is give you back control.

Consider this: the fact that platforms send these emails proves what you're doing is working.

The same companies that oppose safety legislation designed to protect drivers from assault — as reported by Stateline this week — are now trying to scare you away from tools that help you earn more. They'll fight against your safety. They'll fight against your pay raises. But they won't fight for you.

When you cherry-pick your rides, when you know your worth, when you make strategic decisions instead of accepting blindly — you're taking power back.

GigU was created to help you do just that.

The data doesn't lie. Every day, drivers across the U.S. and Brazil are using GigU to scan millions of ride offers, skip the ones that waste time and gas, and choose only the jobs that make sense for them. And not one has been banned for it.

Zero bans. Zero deactivations. Zero problems.

As a gig worker, you're not just "driving around." You're running a business. 

And you deserve tools that reflect that reality. Tools that help you make more. Tools that respect your independence. Tools that protect you — instead of trying to control you.

The platforms may want to scare you into staying in line.

But here's what they're really afraid of: drivers who think for themselves.

We're here to remind you: you're not the problem. You're the solution.

Drive smarter. Earn better.
