How to Track Income Across Multiple Gig Apps

Each gig app shows you that app’s number. None of them add DoorDash, Uber, Instacart, and a random $40 Field Agent job into one take-home figure. If you want that total, you keep it yourself.

GigMeter is built for that: one session, many platforms, net after expenses. Download on the App Store.

Why the platform apps are not a books system

Uber can show trips. DoorDash can show deliveries. Tips land late. Instant cash-outs hide fees. A weekly deposit is not the same as what you made on Thursday from 4 to 9. For taxes and for “was this shift worth it,” you need date, amount, and which platform, in one place.

A simple system that works

1. Start a shift when you start working, not when the first ping hits.
2. When a payout posts, write the amount and the platform the same day.
3. Add parking, tolls, and gas as they happen.
4. End the shift when you are done, including the drive home if that is work for you.

Do that for a week and you can answer net, hours, and net per hour without opening five apps.

What GigMeter records

Income is an entry you type. Platforms are chips you save: Field Agent, Hetal, Observa, BeMyEye, DoorDash, Instacart, Uber, Lyft, Amazon Flex, Spark, Grubhub, Shipt, Roadie, or a name you add. A session can hold more than one platform. Reports break earnings out by platform for the period you pick.

GigMeter does not connect to those companies. It does not scrape screenshots or import CSV from them. If a payout is wrong, you edit the row. If a gig canceled and you still got a fee, you can keep the amount and mark it rejected later so it drops out of totals.

Keeping tax season from becoming a screenshot dump

1099s arrive per company. Your job is the year that sits under them: sessions, miles, expenses, and which dollars were work. GigMeter reports (today / week / month / YTD) and CSV or PDF export are work records created on the device. They are not a tax return. Hand them to whoever files, along with the 1099s.
