Uber (UBER) vs Lyft (LYFT) apps

Uber and Lyft are both Ridesharing apps. As first-mover, Uber has always maintained a healthy margin over Lyft in all mobile performance metrics (Downloads, DAU, MAU, Sessions, Time Spent). After integrating its food delivery app, Uber Eats into the main app in 2021, the Uber app activity only grows more distant from Lyft. As gig economy marketplaces, the health of their businesses can be best observed through the Uber Driver and Lyft Driver apps.
