Para – Gig Drivers Earn More Reviews

by DaJanaeMo😊

I have been using Para with door dash for a few weeks and at first it was a life changer. It really helped me to maximize my earnings but somethings up now. Whenever it shows me an amount different than what the door dash app initially offered, it's never the correct amount. For example, if door dash offers me a $5 order, but the this app app says it's actually $10, when I finish the order I'll only make the $5 that was initially offered by door dash. Sometimes the amount will differ and I'll make maybe $6-$7, but it is never as high as what this app estimated it would be. I'm not sure if this is an issue with Para itself or if door dash is stealing tips from its drivers but I'm pretty disappointed and don't want to use Para anymore.

I’m still holding out hope that the developers can overcome the cat & mouse game that Uncle Tony clearly is onto now…kinda pisses me off that dumb-a** people who call into DD support to blab about this app. I think if you guys ever do come up with a solution that resolves not being able to see the upfront tip, you really should allow for feedback on an invite only IRC channel or some other type of encrypted chat server to keep the noobs and less intelligent people from using Para . I know that’s gonna come across harsh, and I’m sure I leave myself open to trolls, but it really IS irritating that my income has to partially suffer from the ignorance of others!!! Just my $.02 on the subject!!!

In my experience I’ve used Para to reveal most of my DD’s orders some are accurate 90% of the time which is pretty fair. But sometimes it does take a while to reveal the order tip (around a minute or sometimes less than a minute). I do recommend Para if you’re trying maximize your earnings, as well keeping track of your orders. Last thing I do want to say, that it definitely needs a little more work. But so far Para does its job.

by Harrypotter2oh

Overall Para does its job well, however, I have been noticing recently, and maybe it’s as a result of apps like these, DoordDash has been not hiding everything anymore, because the amount shown on this app is the same now as what’s shown on DoorDash. I’ll still continue to use Para though, because I like to see the exact amount that I’ll be getting tipped, because if it’s a decently far order with no tip, then I skip. So, thank you this app for showing the exact separation between the categories that go along with Para ! :)

When I first started using Para with Doordash, Para really helped make me more money. A few orders I normally would’ve declined I decided to accept because this app listed a much higher payout (and it was right). However, over the last few weeks it seems more inaccurate and hasn’t helped that much (though it still helps, which is why I gave it a 4 star rating). This is just how apps work though. They have to constantly tinker with it, and occasionally some of those tweaks don’t work out. Same thing happens with the all mighty Apple apps.

by Shiblumi

Showing us information about when the order was placed as well as when the order is ready for pickup would be very helpful for deciding whether or not to accept an order.

Certain orders may seem appealing at first, only until you realize after accepting the order that the order was just recently placed and you'll need to wait 20 or so minutes for the order to be ready for pickup. Knowing this information beforehand would be extremely helpful.

I’m honestly in love with Para. I’m actually a little annoyed it took me so long to find out about it. I do Doordash and Grubhub, and Para has seriously boosted my earnings (especially with Doordash). I’m so glad I’m able to see tips for Doordash now. I also love that Para has all my earnings in one place. It is a little glitchy at times, but I believe they’re currently working to fix that. Once they add mileage tracking, this will be a true 10/10 for me. I highly recommend this to gig workers especially if you use Doordash, so you can see the hidden tips!!

by Iihuh

this app has helped in estimating countless amounts of tips especially recently when doordash made base pay vary on distance which made extremely difficult to predict hidden tips on the fly. But other than that, this app also shows me things such as items being ordered or the subtotal which is a wonderful and useful feature for orders like CVS and Walgreens! It can really turn those high risk orders that can have a hidden tip but far distance into something much more secure and worthwhile.
The only problems I have with Para is the occasional bugs, like showing me a completely wrong order even getting base pay wrong or the restaurant. The estimate isn't always spot on accurate, but it estimates really close to the actual amount missing it most of the time by just a few cents up to a dollar which is better than making a personal guess. I also wish it had a better interface for stacked orders, it'll only show you the tip for one of the orders most of the time in the banner. Stacked orders normally require for you to open Para to see the full details.
Other than these few kinks, this app is amazing, and regardless of it's technical issues, it is eons better than trying to guess the tip yourself on the fly while driving with only a few seconds to do so!

by Johnwinstony

Para is a great idea and I appreciate their effort to give us drivers transparency with our pay. However there has been several orders were the this app app estimated pay is significantly higher or lower than what the actual payout was from DoorDash. I can recall this app saying an order would pay a total $20 with a $13 tip. Once I completed the order it was only $13. It is possible that DoorDash is stealing tips or Para is just inaccurate at times. I’d believe both to be true.

by Androkel160

I’ve been using Para for months now and I never had a problem, but today Para tells me a total amount that’s different than what DoorDash is paying me. DoorDash is paying me less than what Para is informing me and I don’t know if it’s a system error or DoorDash is not paying me the correct amount. I searched Para if there was a phone number to contact regarding this problem but they don’t have one. What am I supposed to do regarding this problem?

by Breezii Bri

If yours a bigger you better download this. It helps so much! I take orders that I might not have taken without this app. Doordash should show full tips because then they would have happier customers! Faster food! Everything would be if it them if they showed full payout at acceptance screen. Not fair to the good paying customers that they hide tips. this app helps with that! Not all order cuz doordash blocks them but some orders are great! Download and let’s help this app get bigger then they already are! 10/10

I’ve been using this app for several months. this app has been very helpful guiding me to make the best decisions for myself.

Even though this app does not give the exact hidden tip (thanks to DD), it gives tip prediction, which is still very help. I think this has saved me time/gas in making informed decisions.

The this app team always goes above & beyond with communication keeping their users in the loop. And when an issue arises, they are always working hard to fix it. Best part of all is that it’s free!

by Tinyplutos

I drive with door dash. DD does not give you a breakdown of your earnings until after you complete the order, which can be really frustrating because sometimes you’ll find out you just drove 15 miles for no tip. this app gives me tip transparency so i can see exactly what i’m going to be paid for the order (which is sometimes higher than what DD shows me). It’s unfortunate that DD has placed cease and desist order on this app for providing tip transparency. However, this app immediately informed it’s users via email and has kept us updated and remaining hopeful.

by Matthew Tombyll

It is unfortunate that this app cannot retrieve what the actual full tip amount for a delivery is anymore since Doordash changed the algorithm in which the tip information is displayed. However, they have still been able to successfully retrieve other data that helps a lot such as the subtotal of the order and what items the customer ordered. It’s great when there is an order that is kinda far that you normally wouldn’t take but you see that it’s actually a $200 order; it definitely helps identify those possible hidden unicorns :)

by No Nick Name Today Chime!

This is one of them. Doordash is notorious for hiding the full amount given for orders. this app’s trip transparency feature exposes doordash’s lack of transparency. First day using it and an order came through on doordash for $3 which I would normally never take and usually means it’s someone ordering who doesn’t tip. I waited for the notification from this app, which only took 2 seconds, and the total was $29. Para is literally making me money in its first day. The rest of the orders coming in were anywhere from $1 to $15 more than what doordash shows.

Thumbs up.

by Shennmori

These guy’s are amazing and Para is amazing DoorDash doesn’t have any right to hide the hidden tips from the drivers and not allowing us to make informed decisions on what orders are worth taking and which ones we loose money on, even if it’s only the estimated tip now unlike before I cannot say enough good things about being able to see the subtotal and and that allows me to atleast make a better judgment on what orders will be better until DoorDash allows us to see the full pay of the order because it’s wrong not to allow it since we have a lot of expenses such as gas,insurance,depreciation,maintenance.

Keep up the good work guys!!!!

by Jordan Aves

As a Doordash driver, I’ve constantly had to rely on my instincts and past experiences to choose whether or not to accept an order, especially in cases of sold by merchant. Far too many times, I’ve received little to no tip even on some of the biggest orders i’ve carried. this app allows me to have insight into my routes and possible income and it gives me peace of mind to know I can immediately decline a no tip order. Of course, sometimes this app isn’t 100% accurate - but in that case, you’re only getting paid more than estimated. I am so grateful for Para and have and will continue to recommend it to any food delivery driver. Thank you guys for Para!! Absolute game changer.

by Du_Voir

Para is no longer what it used to be ever since DoorDash hit them with the cease letter. this app used to be spot on with the hidden tips but after they came back from the legal battle it hasn’t been the same. The information you get from this app is no different then what you get from DoorDash. Seems like they are using a completely different system now. It’s like probability algorithm, hunches I can somewhat make myself. I don’t blame this app (DoorDash lawyers clearly put spigot on the information). I’m giving Para a 5 star because of effort and what this app stands for in this contractor vs employer relationship. Some may find Para useful still but I no longer see much use since I can make my own educated guess if an order is worth it or not. I primarily use UberEats now for deliveries and there’s not support for that app.

by Szhikov

Para is amazing and really provides the much needed transparency that DoorDash refuses to give. It’s accurate about 90% of the time and I love being able to see if it’s an apartment I’m delivering to because I avoid those.

But please, PLEASE make it tell us whether it’s a red card order or not! DoorDash must have just implemented this because now it doesn’t tell us wether the order is a place and pay or not. It used to before! This is just DoorDash’s latest attempt in trying to get us to take unprofitable orders and hide things from us. Place and pay are almost guaranteed 20 min plus of wait time and I always avoided those, but now I have to unassign those offers once I get to the restaurant (it doesn’t tell you it’s place and pay until you arrive). These are a big ware of time considering I have to drive all the way to the restaurant only to cancel! Please do your thing and help stop this new unfair strategy!

by KirsteinWill

I’m a college student that often does Doordash on the side to help bring in extra income and i couldn’t imagine doing it without Para. I love how it gives you the full payout price (base pay + customer tips) so you know exactly whether or not the order would be worth the drive. There have been plenty of times it has saved me from accepting an order of only $2 and over a 20 minute drop-off commute. There are times where there are a few bugs that need to be fixed in Para but they work diligently to get them solved.

by Nickharger

Tip Transparency went from a text to in app which I miss everything now and can’t refer back. Either bring back texting or a log inside Para .

by HBaca89

Since downloading Para,I have yet to have a real chance to use due to the linking of my gig work apps,every and I mean every time I try to link any, a “connection issue” arises. I have no real connection issue , this seems to be a glitch. I’ve even removed Para and reinstalled to try again to no avail. I’m hoping these bugs get worked out so some of us can actually try it and have a chance to enjoy Para .

1/5 at this moment.

by Dav10000

I signed up. And didn’t receive any texts about an actual price when doordashing. I emailed the given email and still no response when being logged out of my account and not being able to log back in. Was very excited to try this out.

by SpideySensei

this app is great at helping me figure out how to spend my time across Uber, DoorDash, etc. Wish I had it years ago.

by Ramo Ali

I really appreciate for creating such an important app for nowadays drivers.

by Chaos191719

Para is great. Even made me do my first review ever on Para store. Keep up the good work.

by Jyt109

This works for tracking earnings across multiple gig apps in one place

by Brmb1477

It’s super useful for breaking down earnings across delivery apps, and tells you hourly pay, weekly pay, etc. since for some reason the apps choose not to. Great for deciding which apps are more worth your time, and i’d imagine it’ll come in handy for tax filing

by A2b4s7

Such a great app! Love how it gives me more information than Uber or other programs like that. 10/10 would recommend

by Kosher Pigs

Great dashboard for all of the delivery apps. Really breaks down all the money and helps you plan your next trips that much better. If you dash, this is a must have!

by David Pickerell

I work on Doordash, Ubereats, and Postmates. this app helps me keep track of what I’m earnings across them. And keeps me on track to my weekly goals. No more switching endlessly between the apps to know what I’ve made.

by Got Login?...

I’d like to be able to utilize Para across the board but it is not giving me an option to link a Roadie and Shipt account. I’m only given 8 optional driver apps; which are not ones I use. Help?!

by BestDlivApp2021

This is by far the most exciting new app for drivers I’ve seen in a long time. It takes care of all the lame mental math and bookkeeping I do around my income and $/hr metrics, and it has a local group chat feature where I can talk with fellow delivery peeps near me to stay in the loop 👌

I CAN SEEE THE TIP BEFORE ACVEPTING, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY HUGE. Still up as of 05/12
