Lunar vs Wrapify: door decal or full wrap, which pays more?
Lunar pays up to $100/sticker (typically $280–$400/mo) for small door decals; Wrapify pays for full wraps, reportedly $100–$450/mo, in fewer markets.
Lunar (lunarcar.me) and Wrapify solve the same basic problem — turning your car into paid advertising — but with different products. Lunar uses small, removable circle decals on your car doors (up to 4 spots, $70 base per sticker, up to $100 with bonuses, typically $280–$400 a month with multiple stickers) in Vancouver, BC and Tulsa, OK. Wrapify sells full or partial vehicle wraps to national brands, with professional installation, and typically advertises drivers earning roughly $100–$450 a month for a wrap, depending on size and mileage — figures worth double-checking on Wrapify's current site before you compare, since programs change.
What's the core product difference?
A decal is a small, removable circle of automotive vinyl applied to one car door — Lunar's format. A wrap is a much larger vinyl covering, sometimes a full car, sometimes partial panels — Wrapify's format. Both are meant to come off cleanly when installed and removed correctly, but a wrap covers far more surface, takes longer to apply and remove, and usually needs a professional installer rather than something you stick on yourself.
How much can drivers earn with each?
On Lunar, each sticker is its own paid slot: a flat $70 base per month, plus a mileage bonus of up to $15 and referral or streak bonuses, capping at $100 per sticker. A car has up to 4 door spots, so filling several typically lands drivers around $280 to $400 a month. Joining Lunar is free, and payouts land monthly via Stripe. Wrapify's model bundles the whole wrap into one payment, reportedly in the $100–$450 range depending on wrap size and how much you drive — but you're locked into one wrap covering the whole deal, not a set of independent slots you can fill gradually.
How does the install process compare?
Lunar's decals are designed for a driver to apply themselves — no shop visit, no appointment, similar to putting a large sticker on a laptop, just sized for a car door. Wraps require a certified installer, usually a scheduled shop appointment that can take hours, since the material has to be heat-shaped around panels, mirrors, and curves. That difference matters for anyone who can't easily take a car off the road for a day, or who wants to start earning without booking anything.
Which cities and businesses are these ads coming from?
Lunar is a car advertising marketplace matching everyday drivers with local businesses — the plumber down the street, a neighbourhood gym, a coffee shop — in Vancouver, BC and Tulsa, OK, and drivers choose which businesses they're willing to represent (up to 2 of 4 spots from brands they name themselves). Wrapify typically works with larger, often national advertisers, in a broader but still limited set of major US markets, and drivers usually don't get to pick the specific brand on their wrap the same way.
Which one should you choose?
If you want a lower-commitment, self-installed option, want to choose the local businesses you back, and prefer earning in smaller, stackable increments, a decal platform like Lunar fits better — especially if you're not ready to hand your car over for a full wrap. If you're in a Wrapify market, don't mind a shop visit and a larger visual commitment, and want a single bigger payment tied to one wrap, that model may suit you instead. Neither replaces a job's income — both are supplemental, passive money for driving you're already doing.

Frequently asked questions
Does Lunar offer full wraps like Wrapify?
No. Lunar uses small, removable circle vinyl decals placed on car doors — up to 4 per car, one per door — rather than full or partial wraps. That's a deliberate design choice for lower commitment and self-installation.
Is Wrapify available in Vancouver or Tulsa?
This article focuses on comparing the two models, not Wrapify's current city list — check Wrapify's own site for its live market coverage. Lunar operates in Vancouver, BC and Tulsa, OK.
Can I use Lunar and Wrapify on the same car?
That would depend on each program's individual terms, which this article doesn't cover — check both platforms' current policies. Lunar's terms specify decals go only on doors, never on the hood or glass, and never two stickers from the same business on one car.
Does a decal pay less than a wrap overall?
Per unit, a single Lunar decal caps at $100 a month, while Wrapify's one wrap reportedly ranges $100–$450. But Lunar drivers can fill up to 4 door spots, so a full set of decals can add up to a comparable typical range of $280–$400 a month, without the shop visit a wrap requires.
Is a decal safer for my paint than a wrap?
Both are designed to come off without damaging factory paint when installed and removed correctly, but a decal covers far less surface area than a wrap, so there's simply less material and less risk if removal isn't done properly. Always follow the platform's install and removal instructions either way.
