I can't speak to every market, obviously, but in my experience:

Eats always pays 3$

DD pays a minimum of half the quoted pay

GH pays whatever distance you covered to reach the establishment. If the amount is high or there is a glitch where they had to cover the order to the restaurant or they had to pay out many drivers, then there's a good chance that you'll get nothing. They just make it up as they go.

One night I took a crazy high paying DD order out to the sticks. Even round trip it was $6+ per mile after the hidden bonus tip.
When I was about 2 miles from the drop, GH hit me with the same order 3 times. With every decline it kept getting larger. The order finally got so high that I basically had to accept.

It was a long pickup that I wouldn't normally accept, but I was out in the sticks and had maybe a 5% chance of getting a hit that would get me back to my locale. + The pickup/drop was in the general area where I knew that I could resume normal activities.

I arrive, the restaurant owners are pissed, and I was told that they had to make the order 3 times and they would not make it again.
I called support. THEY cancelled the order and I got ****ed and paid 0.

I pressed them a few times over the following week and they kept coming up with word salad responses and refused to pay me.

I think once they get hammered enough on one order, they just turn off the faucet.

I can say that DD does not only pay half the quoted pay.
Many a time I have been paid the half pay, but it was way over the quoted.
In other words, they pay half of the total pay, including half of any hidden tip.

Thus the

pays a minimum of half
