GigOdo vs Solo: the tracker with nothing to flag
Solo's headline feature - automatic income tracking across your gig apps - works by connecting to your platform accounts. In 2026 that mechanism became the problem: Lyft is emailing drivers that unauthorized third-party apps violate its Terms of Service, deactivation included, and the coverage names Solo among the apps at issue. GigOdo takes the opposite bet: it never asks for a platform login, tracks your miles automatically on your phone, and shows your real net per platform after gas - for $2.99 a month against Solo's $8 to $15. Here's the honest breakdown.

The deactivation question, stated precisely
Your platform account is your income, so let's be exact. The 2026 crackdown targets apps that connect to driver accounts - the platforms frame it as unauthorized credential sharing and automation. Automatic income import is that kind of connection by definition: the app authenticates as you to pull your pay data. Nobody outside Uber and Lyft knows how enforcement will play out, and we won't pretend to. What's structural is this: GigOdo has no connection to detect, because it never asks for a platform login. You log pay yourself - typing it takes seconds, or paste a description of your day and the AI parses it, or import a payout CSV. Miles track automatically by GPS on your phone. Nothing ever touches your driver account.
What you give up, and what you get back
Honestly: Solo's auto-import is more convenient, and its pay guarantee (in covered metros) is something GigOdo will never offer. What you get back for a few seconds of logging per shift is a tracker that can't be flagged, routes that never leave your phone, and the number Solo doesn't lead with - your net dollars per hour per platform after your actual gas cost, computed from your own fill-ups. That's the number that should decide where you drive tomorrow.
Bring your Solo history with you
Switching doesn't mean starting over. Export your earnings and mileage from Solo as CSV files, then in GigOdo open Earnings > Import CSV and choose the Solo export preset - dates, gross pay, tips, hours, and miles map automatically, with a preview before anything saves. Mileage history imports the same way from Trips > Import CSV. Files are parsed on your phone and never uploaded, duplicates are skipped, and your deduction records stay continuous for tax time.
Where Solo genuinely wins
The pay guarantee is unique - if you work a scheduled hour in a covered metro and earn under Solo's prediction, it pays the difference. Annual Pro and Pro Plus bundle federal and state tax filing, which is real money if you'd otherwise pay a prep service. And it's fully native on iPhone. If those three things anchor your workflow, Solo earns its price. GigOdo's bet is narrower: your miles, your real net, your tax records - with no strings into your platform accounts.
Verdict
If the pay guarantee or bundled tax filing is why you pay for Solo, stay. If what you actually use is income and mileage tracking, GigOdo does it for a third of the price, shows you net instead of gross, keeps your routes on your phone - and never asks for the logins your income depends on. Your Solo history imports in minutes.
