Gridwise

Gridwise operates a mobile application for gig and flexible workers that consolidates earnings and hours from multiple rideshare, delivery and hourly work sources into a single view. Core features include automatic earnings syncing across gig platforms such as Uber and DoorDash, automatic background mileage tracking, expense and receipt capture, and export of earnings, mileage and expense data as CSV or PDF tax reports. The app also provides performance analytics showing which platforms, times of day and locations produce the highest pay, along with week-over-week and month-over-month trend views and personalized recommendations.

A second set of features covers market intelligence: users can benchmark their earnings, tips and hourly rates against other workers in their city or service area, view real-time demand by neighborhood, and see live airport arrivals and departures plus local events, with configurable alerts for weather, events and surge opportunities. Additional utilities include an app switcher for moving between rideshare, delivery and navigation apps, and access to benefits and offers covering insurance, roadside assistance, legal advice, accounting and phone plans.

The company describes itself as having started by helping rideshare workers decide when and where to work, then broadening into an intelligence platform spanning delivery, rideshare, courier and other on-demand apps, with a stated goal of building an operating system for flexible work. Alongside the consumer app, Gridwise markets a data and analytics offering to partners seeking insight into worker behavior, wage trends, customer pricing and demand across the gig mobility industry.

Founding story

Co-founder and CEO Ryan Green attended the Naval Academy, studying economics and Chinese, started a financial services company while a student, and served on active duty before moving to Pittsburgh for a currency trading role at PNC. Having driven for Uber and Lyft himself, he encountered pain points around fragmented, inaccessible data — noting that over 70% of drivers work for at least two services and constantly switch between apps, scattering their performance data. He left PNC to start Gridwise with co-founder and CTO Brian Finamore, and the pair joined a Pittsburgh accelerator to get the company off the ground.

Business model

Gridwise offers a free Basic tier of its app and a paid Gridwise Plus subscription, and separately markets market-intelligence and analytics partnerships to industry counterparties interested in gig mobility data.

Consumer subscription revenue from Gridwise Plus, priced at $9 per month billed annually (with a monthly option and an advertised 40% saving for annual billing) after a 14-day free trial, charged through the App Store or Play Store; the free Basic tier is ad-supported, since Plus removes banner ads. The company also offers analytics partnerships and benefits/offers placements covering insurance, roadside assistance, legal, accounting and phone plans.

Traction

Company materials cite more than 1 million gig workers served, $11 billion in earnings tracked, over 1 billion tasks tracked and over 11 billion miles covered. Marketing claims users earn 30% more on average by using the app to find better apps, neighborhoods and times to drive.

Latest developments

Current product materials describe a Basic free tier and a $9/month (annual billing) Gridwise Plus subscription, expanded coverage of hourly jobs in addition to gig platforms, benefits and offers partnerships, and an analytics partnership program.
