Le prix affiché sur une offre n'est pas ce que vous gagnez. Il reste le carburant, l'usure, l'assurance, et les kilomètres à vide pour aller chercher le client. RideIQ fait ce calcul à votre place, en moins d'une seconde, avant que vous acceptiez. COMMENT ÇA MARCHE Une offre s'affiche. Vous faites une capture d'écran, vous touchez la bulle : le verdict arrive par-dessus votre application de conduite. Vous n'avez rien d'autre à faire. RideIQ lit le prix, la distance et les adresses, interroge le trafic réel pour la durée, retire vos coûts, et tranche : rentable, à évaluer, ou perte. CE QUI EST DÉDUIT • Le carburant ou l'électricité, à votre consommation réelle • Vos charges fixes mensuelles, ramenées au kilomètre • Les kilomètres et le temps d'approche, souvent oubliés • La durée réelle avec le trafic, pas celle annoncée CONDITIONS D'UTILISATION En vous abonnant à RideIQ Pro, vous acceptez les conditions générales d'utilisation (CLUF) standard d'Apple : https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
