Subscription or commission: which plan should I pick?
The two plans
Subscription plan
- Pay a flat weekly fee.
- Keep 95% of every fare.
- Best if you drive a lot each week.
Commission plan
- No weekly fee.
- Keep 90% of every fare (10% per trip).
- Best if your driving is irregular.
Which earns more?
It depends on your weekly trip volume. At a certain number of trips, the 5% extra you keep on subscription outweighs the weekly fee. If you drive fewer trips, the zero-fee commission plan is safer because you never pay a fee on a slow week.
How to choose
You pick your plan when you sign up as a driver. If you want to change it later, ask our team via the Driver app or [email protected].
Coming soon. Switching your plan yourself in the app, and a live plan-comparison view based on your own numbers, are part of the Driver app build.
Sample comparison (illustrative)
The numbers below are illustrative only and do not represent guaranteed earnings.
| Trips per week | Avg fare (KES) | Subscription take-home | Commission take-home |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 | 400 | KES 7,600 minus weekly fee | KES 7,200 |
| 40 | 400 | KES 15,200 minus weekly fee | KES 14,400 |
| 60 | 400 | KES 22,800 minus weekly fee | KES 21,600 |
In this example, if the weekly subscription fee is less than the difference between the two take-home figures, the subscription plan wins at higher volumes.
No lock-in
There is no minimum commitment to either plan. Switch weekly based on how your schedule looks.
