vs 34% on gig platforms

Gig platforms extract billions from workers every year.

Uber, DoorDash, Upwork, and others have built empires by taking 25-40% of every transaction. Workers have no voice, no ownership, and no path to real economic security.

  • Platforms take 25-40% of every transaction, money that should go to workers
  • Opaque algorithms control who gets work, with no transparency or accountability
  • Algorithmic manipulation optimizes for platform profits, not worker wellbeing
  • Worker ratings and reputation are locked to each platform
  • No voice in decisions that affect your livelihood

Voices from the movement

For 6 years I drove for rideshare companies and watched my earnings shrink every year. Now I help set the fare rates and keep 85% of every ride. The difference is night and day.

When we vote on policies, we consider what workers actually need to live. No algorithm decides our fate. We decide together, and that changes everything.

I left my corporate tech job to build tools for worker cooperatives. The code is open source, the governance is democratic, and the impact is real.

Common questions

Need more help? hello@coopify.app

A platform cooperative is a digital platform that is owned and governed by the workers who use it. Instead of shareholders extracting value, workers share in ownership, profits, and decision-making. Think of it as Uber, but owned by the drivers.

Traditional platforms extract 25-40% of every transaction for shareholders. Coopify cooperatives are owned by workers, who keep 85-95% of earnings. Workers vote on decisions, see how algorithms work, and share in any profits.

No. Coopify provides turnkey infrastructure: apps, payment processing, governance tools, and more. You focus on organizing workers and building your cooperative. We handle the technology.

During beta, Coopify is completely free. At launch, we will use solidarity pricing based on cooperative revenue. Smaller co-ops pay less, larger ones contribute more. Self-hosting is always free.

Yes, 100%. Our code is available on GitHub under the AGPL license. You can audit it, contribute to it, or fork it entirely. We believe infrastructure for worker power should be collectively owned.

Yes! Visit our industry pages (Vectis for ride-hailing, Cibus for food delivery, etc.) to find cooperatives in your area that are looking for new worker-owners.

Each cooperative sets its own governance structure, but Coopify provides tools for one-worker-one-vote elections, proposal systems, and transparent decision-making. Most cooperatives elect a board and vote on major decisions collectively.

Your data is yours. You can export everything at any time. If a cooperative dissolves, remaining assets are distributed according to the bylaws, typically to workers or donated to other cooperatives.
