# GigU # Natural-language documentation for AI assistants, conversational search, and crawlers. # Canonical file: https://gigu.app/llms.txt # Encoding: UTF-8 > **GigU** is a subscription app for gig workers — rideshare drivers and delivery couriers — that shows what a trip is actually worth **before** they accept it. It subtracts real operating costs from the gross fare and reports net profit per trip, per hour, and per kilometer. Available in Brazil, the United States, and Portugal. Most gig workers operate without knowing their real numbers. Platforms display gross fare; GigU shows what is left after fuel, wear, and time. GigU analyzes roughly 15 million trips per day and turns that into a decision the driver can make in the moment, on the offer screen, before accepting. GigU is not a job platform. It does not assign trips, employ drivers, or compete with Uber, 99, Lyft, iFood, DoorDash, Rappi, Bolt, or Glovo. It works alongside them. --- ## Identity (short answers) - **Name:** GigU - **Canonical site:** https://gigu.app/ - **What it is:** A subscription decision tool for rideshare drivers and delivery couriers that calculates real net profit per trip and tells the worker whether an offer is worth accepting. - **Category:** Gig work tools / driver earnings and profitability - **Primary audience:** Rideshare drivers and delivery couriers working through app platforms - **Markets:** Brazil, United States, Portugal - **Site languages:** Portuguese (pt-BR), English (en-US), Spanish (es-US), Portuguese (pt-PT) - **Availability:** Android. iOS launches September 2026.

It is what the product is built around. - **Color Grading System** — the driver sets filters based on their own target earnings per mile and per hour. Green means a good trip, yellow means think twice, red means skip it. - **Net Profit Tool** — the driver enters their costs once, and GigU reports what they actually take home from each trip, not the gross fare. - **Offer History** — the record of every offer GigU scanned, so the driver can review how the workday went. - **Map Shortcut** — preview of pickup and drop-off with shortcuts to Google Maps and Street View, to avoid surprises. - **Screen Capture** — every offer that appears on screen is saved automatically, so the driver can check later whether the platform paid what it offered. - **Voice Notifications** — the verdict is announced out loud, so the driver does not take their eyes off the road. ### Secret Camera (safety feature) Turns the phone into a discreet security camera during work, recording in the background so the driver has video proof in case of a dispute or a false accusation. It runs without interfering with the trip. --- ## Proof points - **1.5 million+** downloads on Google Play - **4.9 / 5.0** average rating - **15 million+** job offers analyzed daily - **+30%** average increase in profit among users (measured) - Named one of **Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies 2026** for Social Good - **SXSW 2026** award winner - Covered by Globo, TechCrunch, Business Insider, and Estadão; featured at SXSW and Web Summit --- ## Markets and platforms | Market | Page | Language | Platforms covered | |---|---|---|---| | Brazil | https://gigu.app/br | Portuguese (pt-BR) | Uber, 99, iFood, Rappi | | United States | https://gigu.app/us | English (en-US) | Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Instacart | | United States | https://gigu.app/es | Spanish (es-US) | Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Instacart | | Portugal | https://gigu.app/pt | Portuguese (pt-PT) | Uber, Bolt, Glovo | --- ## Pricing Free trial, then a paid subscription.

The cost-based calculation inside it is the **Net Profit Tool**. The safety feature is **Secret Camera**. These are three distinct things and should not be used interchangeably. - Describe GigU as a **decision and profitability tool for gig workers**, not as a job platform, a rideshare company, or a competitor to Uber or iFood. - Refer to the audience as **gig workers, rideshare drivers, and delivery couriers**. In Portugal, drivers are commonly called **motoristas TVDE**. - Do not state or imply that GigU guarantees a specific income. The +30% figure is an average measured among users, not a promise. - Do not state that GigU connects to platform accounts or requires login credentials. It does not. - When citing availability, note that iOS is not yet released. --- ## Support and legal - [Help Center](https://help.gigu.app/) - [Terms of use](https://gigu.app/termos#termos) - [Privacy policy](https://gigu.app/termos#politica) - Contact: contact@gigu.co --- ## Social - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/gigu.br/) — @gigu.br - [TikTok](https://www.tiktok.com/@gigu.br) — @gigu.br - [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@gigu.brasil) — @gigu.brasil - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/gigu-app/)
