What are the best Uber Direct alternatives for same-day delivery?

Short answer. The main alternatives are DoorDash Drive On-Demand (flat fee per delivery), Stuart (UK, France and Poland, from £5.50 per delivery), Gophr (UK and Ireland, from £7.50 ex VAT), Roadie (US-wide, strong on big and bulky items), Lalamove (on-demand vans across Asia, the Middle East and the Americas) and RentADriver (a delivery API with a first-party MCP server for AI agents). Fleet software such as Onfleet or Shipday is an alternative only if you run your own drivers.

Best for
  • ✓ Merchants comparing per-delivery pricing models
  • ✓ Teams whose orders come from their own app or an AI agent
  • ✓ UK businesses weighing Stuart or Gophr against an API-first option
Limits and responsibilities
  • • Coverage differs by city: check each provider for your exact addresses
  • • Published prices are starting points; real quotes depend on distance, size and timing
  • • Facts were reviewed on each provider's public pages in September 2026
