# DoorDash vs Amazon Flex

The clearest difference is ads: Amazon Flex at none against DoorDash's shown. Amazon Flex also leads on review sentiment (33% vs 12%). DoorDash's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (2.5M vs 436K). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for DoorDash against 4.7 for Amazon Flex. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DoorDash has 2.5M ratings behind it against 436K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 12% of DoorDash's written reviews are positive against 33% of Amazon Flex's.

DoorDash ships an update weekly, Amazon Flex every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
