Some independent contractors have come up with another way to make money using the apps: Selling access to those apps to other people, according to a new survey.
Forty-five percent of gig workers surveyed by TransUnion said that they had either rented or sold access to a gig work account on a gig work platform, the company said in a report released last week.
Gig work apps such as Uber, DoorDash, and Walmart’s Spark have told Business Insider that they don’t allow users to share their accounts with other people. It can pose a safety risk to the apps and the people who rely on them, since the apps vet workers when they sign up.
