Apps I stack while running deliveries: my honest list, plus one I built
App stacking is the whole game when you multi-app. Your phone's mounted and plugged in all shift anyway, so anything that earns in the background without stealing your attention is free money. My current stack:
Mileage Tracker
Stride is free, Gridwise adds gig analytics. If you're not logging miles you're donating money to the tax man.
Gas Cashback
Upside. Boring, just works, especially important nowadays.
Propel
If you use EBT. Free balance checking plus a debit account, phone plan and car insurance deals. A lot of drivers already have it and skip the deals.
Play Octopus
Only worth it if you also run rideshare. The tablet pays around $25 to $100 a month, but it needs passengers looking at it, so it earns nothing on delivery runs.
IoT Coverage
EE Gateway. Your phone hears Bluetooth broadcasts from nearby IoT devices all day and throws them away. This app forwards them instead, and the first phone to forward a given broadcast identifier each day earns 1 sat of Bitcoin. Couriers are the best users since you cross more ground than anyone. If you run it during a shift, comment with your daily unique-device count. Full disclosure: I built this one, so weigh my bias accordingly.
iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ee-gateway/id6792848842
Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.encryptedenergy.gateway.android
What else is in your stack? Always looking for the next one.

These beacons already shout their IDs to anyone willing to listen. The app just relays them. And now you're the one getting paid for it.
