I compare almost every time now. It takes one minute and sometimes saves a lot. Uber may still have the most drivers in many areas, but that does not mean it is always the best price. The only time I do not compare is when I am tired and just want to get home.
Is Uber still the most reliable ride app, or do you compare prices every time?

Uber used to be my default, but lately I feel like prices jump a lot. Do people still use it automatically or check other ride and taxi apps first?

Answers & Discussion
Uber is convenient, but I stopped treating it like public transit. The cost adds up fast. I use it when I need safety, bad weather, late nights, or luggage. Otherwise I check transit first. The app is reliable, but convenience can quietly become a big monthly expense.
I still use Uber for airport trips because reliability matters more than saving a few dollars. But for normal nights out, I compare prices if I have time. Surge pricing can be ridiculous, and sometimes a taxi app or local option is cheaper.
