Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Solo Pay Guarantee Program?
The Pay Guarantee program provides a daily income guarantee to users who use Solo's Smart Schedule to plan their app based on their app based work schedule. If you earn less than what Solo predicted on a daily basis, we will pay you the difference at the end of the week. Solopreneurs can guarantee their daily pay using Solo's credit system.

Why do I need to set my schedule?
The Smart Schedule tool shows you the optimal earnings schedule for your day. Saving your selected job schedule allows us to know which job you plan to work (and the corresponding predicted earnings to attribute to your daily pay guarantee.)
Does this cost anything?
Pro Plan users have unlimited access to the Smart Schedule in their city. Pro Plus Plan users also receive 60 free credits (one credit = one hour of work) to guarantee their pay each month as a part of their subscription. To guarantee more hours, you can purchase additional credits for $0.40. If you purchase credits in bulk, you can save up to 25%. You can also find more information on our pricing page.
Where does this data come from and how do you predict hourly earnings?
We are able to provide earnings predictions for major gig jobs across each hour and day of the week by using collective data and insights from the Solo community. This real, community based data informs Solo's predictive algorithm, which shows your predicted earnings by job and hour. Your anonymized work information contributes to the community insights; however, your personal information is never available to anyone else.
Why are you offering this?
Our overarching goal is to provide income stability for workers in the gig space by eliminating the downside risk associated with flexible work and variable pay. We believe this can be accomplished by providing you with better earnings data that solves the problem of where, when and what job you should work to hit your income goals. We want to help you, and others, stabilize earnings and optimize your time.
How are payouts calculated
Payouts are calculated by taking the difference between your total daily guaranteed value that you've saved in the Solo app and your actual earned income. If you work the full hour, completing at least one trip per hour, and are driving within the coverage zone, you would be eligible for the full value of the daily guarantee. Please note that Solo does not use online time to calculate time worked—Solo uses your actual time worked plus buffers for waiting in between trips to calculate your time worked within a Pay guarantee hour.
For example, if you guarantee an income floor of $10 over four hours within one day, and you earn a total of $35 while following the requirements listed in-app, you would be owed $5. If you earned $45, you would not be owed a payout—you keep the upside!

When do I get paid?
Payouts occur once weekly. While your earnings are assured on a daily basis, you will be able to access any accrued amounts for the prior week (Monday to Sunday) on the following Tuesday. For example, if you earn five dollars less than Solo's predictions for each of the three days you schedule and work in a given week, you will accrue a daily amount of $15 for the week. Payouts will occur on Tuesdays during the day.
