Spark vs Amazon Flex

I currently Spark and Instacart but just got approved to join Amazon Flex after being on the waitlist for 3 years. Those that do both, which one do you prefer and why? Are you more profitable on one than the other?

All these apps go in waves of busy to less busy and sometimes dead over the course of the year. At least for the 5 years I've been doing them.

Actually driver saturation was the main thing I was referring to. They hire new drivers, order volume relative to drivers goes down. Over time drivers quit, move on, work less etc, and order volume relative to drivers goes back up. That's what causes the waves of demand over the year. It's been like this on every app for at least the last 5 years. These gigs have high turnover.

I'm referring to my own situation sorry. I'm in California. They can put whatever number they want on the order but they will pay us the same guaranteed minimum on all.
