If you drive for Uber, Lyft, or Hopp in the Greater Toronto Area, you’ve probably wondered: Am I actually making money? Not just per trip, but per kilometre. After gas, insurance, maintenance, parking, and all the hidden costs that pile up — what’s left?
Most drivers I’ve talked to don’t know. They see their weekly earnings summary and assume they’re doing fine. But when you factor in depreciation, tire wear, oil changes, and the $300/month insurance hike that came with adding rideshare coverage, the picture changes fast.
The Problem with Existing Tools
There are expense trackers out there. Apps that let you log your mileage, snap photos of receipts, and generate tax reports. But they don’t answer the fundamental question: What am I earning per kilometre after all costs?
They also don’t handle multi-platform drivers well. If you’re running Uber and Lyft simultaneously (which most drivers do to maximize earnings), you need a tool that can aggregate data from both platforms and give you a unified view of profitability.
What Stattraq Does Differently
Stattraq is built around one core metric: per-kilometre profitability. You connect your rideshare accounts, add your expenses (fuel, maintenance, insurance), and Stattraq calculates your true earnings per kilometre driven. Not per trip. Not per hour. Per kilometre.
This matters because different routes have different profitability. A downtown Toronto trip during surge pricing might net you $2.50/km. A trip to Mississauga at 3 PM might be $0.80/km after expenses. Stattraq shows you which routes, times, and platforms are actually worth your time.
We’re also building multi-platform support from day one. Uber, Lyft, and Hopp all have different payout structures and fees. Stattraq aggregates them into a single dashboard so you can compare apples to apples.
The Tech Stack
We’re building Stattraq with Next.js 15, Supabase, and deploying on Vercel. Next.js gives us fast, SEO-friendly pages and API routes for handling OAuth with rideshare platforms. Supabase handles auth, database, and real-time subscriptions so drivers can see their stats update live.
We chose this stack because it’s fast to iterate on, scales well, and keeps hosting costs low. For a tool aimed at gig workers who are cost-conscious by necessity, keeping our own costs down means we can keep the product affordable (or free for basic features).
What’s Coming Next
We’re starting with the core profitability calculator, but the roadmap goes deeper. Next up: a partner directory for mechanics, insurance brokers, and accountants who specialize in gig work. Then, OBD-II integration so you can automatically track mileage, fuel consumption, and diagnostic data without manual entry.
The goal isn’t just to track expenses. It’s to give drivers the data they need to make better decisions about when, where, and how to drive. Because if you’re going to spend 40 hours a week behind the wheel, you deserve to know if it’s actually worth it.
Stattraq is currently in development. If you’re a GTA-based rideshare driver and want early access, get in touch.
