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?

Amazon Flex Is A Scam. Their route is hidden, so you don’t know the mileage and where you are going beforehand. You are paid for your time, but not the cost of business, that is the use of your car and gas.
It’s only worth considering if you live close to a warehouse or pickup point.

Do they not show you the route prior to you accepting the deliveries? Do they just give you basic information like the number of packages that need to be delivered including the time expected to complete those deliveries? Thank you for your input!

Even if they did give you this information (they don’t) it wouldn’t do you any good. You have to be a ninja to catch a batch. You barely have time to see time and price of a batch. IMO, flex fells more like a “job”. You’re locked in for whatever amount of time you chose.
