Abstract Platform-based gig work has become an important source of livelihood for many urban workers, yet the stability of income earned through different digital platforms remains uneven. The present study examines income stability among gig workers engaged with different categories of digital platforms in Udaipur. The objective is to compare the level of income stability among workers associated with food delivery, ride sharing and bike taxi services, quick commerce and delivery services, and courier and parcel delivery work. A quantitative research approach was adopted, using primary data collected from 168 gig workers through a structured questionnaire. Income stability was measured through eight Likert scale statements, and a composite mean score was used for statistical comparison. Descriptive statistics and one-way ANOVA were applied to examine differences across platform categories. The findings show that food delivery workers reported the highest income stability, followed by quick commerce and delivery workers, ride-sharing and bike taxi workers, and courier and parcel delivery workers. The ANOVA result confirmed a significant difference in income stability across platform categories, F(3, 164) = 17.01, p < .001. The study highlights the need for greater attention to earning regularity and income predictability within platform-based employment.
