FlexDash vs Gridwise Plus

Gridwise's earnings-by-platform dashboard is its standout feature — and FlexDash includes the same dashboard at no extra cost, plus IRS-compliant mileage tracking, AI screenshot scanning, and Amazon Flex cap tracking that Gridwise lacks. $12/year cheaper.

About Gridwise

Gridwise built its reputation on the earnings-by-platform dashboard — drivers can see at a glance which platform pays best in their market. The free tier is popular, but Plus ($71.99/yr) is needed for full features. Gridwise's mileage tracking is partial (less reliable than dedicated mileage apps), and it has no Amazon Flex cap tracking or deactivation defense.

Frequently asked: FlexDash vs Gridwise

Is FlexDash cheaper than Gridwise Plus?+

Yes — FlexDash Pro is $59.99/year vs Gridwise Plus at $71.99/year, a $12/year savings. Monthly is $6.99 vs Gridwise's $9.99.

Does FlexDash have the earnings-by-platform dashboard like Gridwise?+

Yes — FlexDash includes a full earnings-by-platform dashboard at no extra cost. It's derived from bank deposit data via Plaid, so the per-platform $/hr is bank-verified rather than self-reported.

Does Gridwise track mileage as well as FlexDash?+

No — Gridwise's mileage tracking is partial and less reliable than dedicated mileage apps. FlexDash uses Core Motion (iOS) and Activity Recognition (Android) with GPS confirmation for industry-standard tracking quality, and exports IRS-compliant logs for Schedule C / 1099.

Does Gridwise track the Amazon Flex 40-hour cap?+

No. Gridwise focuses on market insights and earnings comparisons; it has no Amazon Flex-specific cap tracker. FlexDash is the only app that tracks the 40-hour rolling weekly cap correctly.

Can I use Gridwise and FlexDash together?+

Some drivers do — Gridwise for market insights, FlexDash for mileage and earnings tracking. But if you want one app instead of two, FlexDash includes the earnings-by-platform dashboard plus the mileage and tax features Gridwise lacks.
