Mystro saves one money from taking unprofitable trips and that alone is enough to pay for itself.

What you need is an AI designed system that you put into Mystro filters and tweak it accordingly.

HI

I never used any of these apps. How much do they charge I am considering Mystro.

Thank You.

 

$5 a month or $140 per year for Mystro and $7 and $50 for GigU. So GigU is only cheaper on the annual subscription plan, but it doesn't do diddly squat in comparison to Mystro.

Mystro will save the most money over time than GigU.

If you want full featured control and saving money then Mystro but it does have a few headaches and needs to be tweaked as Uber app changes.

If you just want something that quickly tells you if a trip is profitable or not (only based on pay per mile) then GigU. But it won't screen out anything else that's unprofitable like multi stop trips or long runs that are serious losers usually.

I suggest trying each one out to see what works for you. I'll check out this new app when I get a chance.

 

Checking out Driver Power and it seems a bit complicated but acts similar to GigU as an overlay on the apps screen.

But it has to be cleared and analyzed manually.

It seems to only figure for gas costs which is a grave error in the rideshare business.

I'm going to see about hacking the gas cost entry to include .80 cents a mile for total costs This way it should post the profit of each trip (one way only though, no deadheading.

 

Okay I put in 25 mpg and $20 per gallon for the gas cost and that results in .80 per trip mile for total costs (not including deadheading)

A wonderful Uber Exclusive trip. 😆

Wow a whole .19¢ profit for 18 minutes of my time. 😆

Yea I think I can use this perhaps. 😁

It's sort of like GigU but isn't as automated, hacking it a little shows the profit (without deadhead) of each offer.

Of course with Mystro I can just set .80 a mile + .20 for pay and it will automatically reject everything else, plus it's auto accept (hello Trip Radar) is faster than a human can.

I'll play with it some more but it seems to try to record everything and is a bit overcomplicated unlike GigU which is very simple.

The real problem is Uber and Lyft paying lower and lower because they have too many ignorant drivers working for below sustainable amounts.

 

CT to Boston before October 1 was always $75-115$ now it's $60-65 what the frig happened Uber?

✅ Trips to Take to Profit under MA Pay Floor

1. Short-to-medium urban trips (3–12 miles)

Dense areas like Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, Brookline, etc.

Speeds usually under 30 mph, which maximizes pay under the hourly floor.



2. Short pickups (≤ 2 miles or 5 minutes)

Keeps total unpaid miles and time low.



3. Trips ending in demand zones

Airports, universities, hospitals, downtowns — anywhere you can get a quick next ride (reduces deadhead).



4. Trips with surge, bonuses, or airport fees

These lift your effective $/mile well above the $1.20 break-even threshold.

🚫 Trips to Avoid

Long, fast highway runs (30+ mph active speed) — low time but high mileage → unprofitable unless heavily surged.

Rural or suburban drop-offs that leave you far from the next ride.

Long pickups (3+ miles) or slow acceptance zones with no bonuses.



---

📊 Simple Rule of Thumb

Stay under ~30 mph average during “active time,”

Keep pickups short,
And end where the app stays busy.



That combination keeps your effective pay above $1.20 per total vehicle mile, giving you real profit after costs and deadhead.



Long trips are losers because even with an hourly per engaged pay scheme your vehicle costs for the trip go up and eat into it. Then you usually deadhead back empty without pay.

So in a sense you shouldn't be taking those long trips to begin with.

 

After gas which I know Uber doesn't think costs anything because they don't pay for it anyway $30 gas on a $60 ride that's 3.5 hr at least round trip I'll make around $8 per hour no thanks uberunderwraring methin
