Is the Solo App Worth It for Gig Drivers?

Solo is a tracking and planning app for gig work. It connects to your gig accounts and pulls in your payouts. It tracks your miles with GPS and splits business driving from personal. It sorts your expenses, estimates your taxes, and can file them. It also tells you which hours tend to pay best in your city.

If that is the problem you want solved, Solo is worth a look. A driver who knows their real numbers makes better calls than a driver who is guessing.

What Solo does not do is keep the rider. It helps you work the queue. It does not move you out of it.

Solo's own pricing page lists four plans. We read these figures on worksolo.com/pricing on October 19, 2026.

• Free, $0. Automatic mileage tracking, manual income and expense tracking, tax filing for a fee.
• Basic, $20 a month, or $96 billed once a year. Adds automatic income tracking, automatic mileage classification, market-level pay insights and unlimited tax reports.
• Pro, $25 a month, or $120 a year. Adds automatic expense tracking through a bank link and the Smart Schedule.
• Pro Plus, $30 a month, or $180 a year. Adds 60 credits for Pay Guarantee.

Quarterly billing is offered too. Solo says paid plans come with a 7-day free trial and bill through the App Store or Google Play. Check worksolo.com/pricing before you subscribe, because prices change.

The annual price is the one most drivers should look at. Paid monthly, Basic is $240 a year. Paid once a year, it is $96.

Solo is built around two jobs: tracking and prediction.

The tracking side is broad. Solo connects to a long list of gig platforms, including Uber, DoorDash and Instacart, so your payouts land in one ledger. Your miles track in the background. Expenses sort themselves once your bank is linked. Come tax time, the numbers are already there.

The prediction side is the Smart Schedule. It shows the hours that tend to pay best where you drive. In eligible cities, Pay Guarantee lets you lock in a target before a shift, using Solo's own predictions.

For a driver who lives inside the apps, that is real value.

Here is the limit. A better read on app pay is still app pay.

Solo can tell you that Tuesday mornings pay well. It cannot turn the commuter you drove Tuesday morning into a rider who books you next Tuesday. That passenger opens Uber or Lyft again and takes whoever the app sends.

No tracking app fills that gap. The relationship still lives inside the platform.

SOLODRIVE.PRO is not a gig tracker. It gives you a booking page at your own handle.

When a passenger has a good ride with you, you share your link or let them scan your booking QR. Next time they need a ride, they request you directly.

A daily commuter rides ten times a week. The app gave you one introduction. A booking page is how that one introduction becomes ten rides a week that never came from the queue.

You can mark a good rider as a regular. The rider agrees, their card is saved, and the ride bills automatically each week. That is recurring income from a passenger the app treated as a one-time match.

SOLODRIVE.PRO also logs the miles on every ride you drive through it, on every plan including Free. You can log your Uber, Lyft and delivery earnings by hand, so you can track earnings and stay tax-ready in one place.

Yes. They do not conflict.

Keep Solo if you like how it handles your gig income and taxes. Stack SOLODRIVE.PRO on top. Solo helps you get more out of the rides the apps give you. Your booking page earns the rides the apps were never going to send.

If you only ever use a tracker, you get a very clear picture of a business that still belongs to the platform. A booking page is how you start owning part of it.

Is the Solo app worth it for gig drivers?

For tracking, often yes. Solo pulls in your payouts from gig apps, tracks your miles automatically, sorts expenses and estimates your taxes. If you want those numbers handled for you, the free plan is a good start and a paid plan can earn its price. What Solo does not do is bring a passenger back to you. For that you need a booking page, not a tracker.

Is Solo the same as SOLODRIVE.PRO?

No. Solo is an app made by Solo Technologies, Inc., at worksolo.com. SOLODRIVE.PRO is a separate company and a separate product, at solodrive.pro. The two have no relationship. Solo tracks and plans your gig work. SOLODRIVE.PRO gives you a booking page so riders can book you by name.

How much does the Solo app cost?

Solo's own pricing page lists four plans. Free is $0. Basic is $20 a month, or $96 billed once a year. Pro is $25 a month, or $120 a year. Pro Plus is $30 a month, or $180 a year, and adds 60 Pay Guarantee credits. Quarterly billing is also offered. We read these figures on worksolo.com/pricing on October 19, 2026. Check that page before you subscribe, because prices change.

What do you get with Solo for free?

Solo's free plan includes automatic mileage tracking and manual income and expense tracking, with tax filing available for a fee. The paid plans add automatic income tracking from linked gig accounts, automatic expense tracking through a bank link, a Smart Schedule, and on Pro Plus, Pay Guarantee credits in eligible cities.

Does Solo help me get repeat riders?

No. Solo works on top of the gig apps. It reads, plans and tracks the work Uber, Lyft and the delivery apps send you. A rider still opens the app and gets whoever it assigns. A booking page is what gives a rider a way to request you again.

Can I use Solo and SOLODRIVE.PRO together?

Yes. They do different jobs. Keep Solo for your gig income, miles and taxes if you like it. SOLODRIVE.PRO gives you a booking page at your own handle so the riders you drive on Uber and Lyft can book you directly. It also logs the miles on every ride you drive through it, and you can log your other-platform earnings by hand to track earnings and stay tax-ready.
