Stop guessing your gig earnings.

Bank-verified earnings means your gig income figures come directly from the deposits your bank receives — not from numbers you type in or screenshots you upload. FlexDash uses Plaid to read your deposit history, identifies which deposits came from Amazon Flex, DoorDash, Uber, Lyft, Instacart, and other platforms, and builds a per-platform earnings dashboard from the bank truth.

Yes. Plaid is the same bank-connection service Venmo, Robinhood, Chime, Affirm, and thousands of other US fintech apps use to connect to bank accounts. Your bank credentials never touch FlexDash's servers — Plaid handles the OAuth handshake and only shares anonymized transaction metadata with FlexDash. FlexDash sees deposit amounts and merchant names; it never sees your password, your full account number, or transactions outside the gig-economy categorization.

Three reasons. (1) Tips often show up days later as a separate deposit and rarely get added back into the screenshot total. (2) InstantPay/Fast Pay fees ($0.50 from Amazon, $1.99 from DoorDash) get deducted before the deposit hits — so the in-app earnings screen and the bank deposit are different numbers. (3) Cancellations, customer refunds, and platform adjustments after the fact change the number again. Bank-verified earnings reconcile all of this automatically because the deposit is the final, authoritative figure.

FlexDash currently recognizes deposits from Amazon Flex, DoorDash, Uber, Uber Eats, Lyft, Instacart, Grubhub, Postmates, Shipt, Walmart Spark, Veho, Gopuff, and ~20 smaller platforms. New platforms get added as we see them in driver bank data. If a deposit pattern is unfamiliar, FlexDash flags it for manual classification — once you label it, the same pattern is recognized automatically going forward.

Three inputs: bank-verified earnings for each platform (from Plaid), driving hours auto-tracked while you were working that platform (from Core Motion + GPS), and active block/order time logged in-app. FlexDash divides verified-earnings by hours-worked per platform and surfaces the comparison. You can see at a glance whether Amazon Flex actually pays you more than DoorDash in your specific market — based on bank reality, not the app's optimistic in-app estimate.

Yes. When FlexDash sees an Amazon Flex $0.50 InstantPay or DoorDash $1.99 Fast Pay fee in your deposit data, it auto-creates a deductible expense entry attached to that pay event. At tax time these flow into your Schedule C as ordinary and necessary business expenses. Most drivers lose hundreds of dollars a year to unreported InstantPay fees — bank-verified detection catches every one.

Screenshots are a good rough log, but they're missing tips that land later, InstantPay fees, and after-the-fact platform adjustments. FlexDash combines both: AI-extracted screenshots for the in-the-moment block detail, and bank-verified deposits for the final earnings truth. Together you get block-level granularity AND end-of-period accuracy.

Yes. Plaid charges per bank-connection, so we include it in the FlexDash Pro tier ($6.99/mo or $59.99/yr). Both monthly and annual plans get unlimited Plaid connections, multi-platform detection, real $/hr dashboards, and InstantPay fee auto-detection. The 30-day free trial includes Plaid so you can connect, see the numbers, and decide before any charge.

Yes. Open the FlexDash app → Settings → Connected Accounts → Disconnect. Plaid revokes the access token, your bank is unlinked immediately, and FlexDash keeps the historical deposit data already imported (which becomes static — no new updates until you reconnect). The disconnect is also visible from your bank's app or website, where you can revoke from the bank side at any time.

No. Bank deposit data is used solely to power your in-app earnings dashboard, InstantPay fee detection, and exportable tax-ready reports. FlexDash does not sell, share, or syndicate banking data to any third party. It is not used for advertising, lead generation, or analytics. The full data policy is in the FlexDash Privacy Policy and the Plaid End User Privacy Policy that you accept during the bank-connect flow.
