As of November 2, 2026, nickelytics.com and its drivers page redirect to Robot.com's advertising page, which is for advertisers and has no driver sign-up. St Pete Catalyst reported in 2024 that Robot.com, then called Kiwibot, bought Nickelytics. We couldn't find a current way for drivers to join. Lunar publishes this page, and Lunar is one of the apps compared.
What Nickelytics was
Nickelytics paid drivers to carry full or partial wraps, installed by professionals, with GPS tracking of where the car drove. Reviews from that time, like The Rideshare Guy's in January 2024, describe a background check that asked for a Social Security number. Many "best car advertising apps" lists still recommend it, because they haven't been updated since.
Where drivers go now
- Carvertise: wraps for brand campaigns in the US. Lunar vs Carvertise.
- Wrapify: wraps in US metros; its iPhone app now says it is part of Firefly. Lunar vs Wrapify.
- Firefly: rooftop screens for full-time rideshare and delivery drivers. Lunar vs Firefly.
- Lunar: small local-business decals on your doors, no wrap, no GPS, in cities across the US and Canada.
Lunar is a car advertising app that puts small circle decals from local businesses on everyday drivers' cars, one per door and at most four. It's free to join, with no fees and no deposit. You install the decal yourself from the instructions in the kit, a person checks your placement photo, and a short weekly check (a photo of each decal and an odometer reading) keeps you paid. Drivers can earn up to $500 a month, paid monthly through Stripe. There's no GPS tracking and no shifts. See every app that pays you to advertise on your car in 2026.
