Review:

Like Wrapify, Adder Mobile adds a little side hustle into your daily commute by slapping advertisements on your car. The bigger the advertisement — and the more generous the sponsor — the more money you make. But you need to drive at least 500 miles a month  to remain in a campaign.

Although Adder seeks drivers in all 48 contiguous states, it currently only has advertisements in Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois. So don’t expect to make an immediate mint. The site pays drivers by PayPal or paper check. Checks are written on the 5th of the month, after 30 days. If the campaign is shorter than 30 days, you’ll get paid on the 5th following the completion of a campaign, according to Ian Gerard, Adder’s CEO and founder.

Some concerns

The site’s terms say that Adder and it’s affiliate installers will be held responsible for any damages that might arise from the application of advertising wraps “if the issue lies in the incorrect installation or removal of said advertisements.” It suggests that you take pictures before the beginning of the campaign so you can establish a loss, if one arises.

This is an improvement over the site’s previous terms, which only made Adder responsible for losses amounting to “up to the total driver payout,”  which we thought was an inadequate guarantee. Gerard agreed with us and made a change. We have subsequently boosted the site’s Husl$core to reflect the improved terms.

That said, Adder is brand new, so there were no driver reviews to tell us whether there are problems with the site. Unlike Carvertise and Wrapify, where founders either had experience or venture capital, Adder appears to be funding its operation as it goes. That gives us pause.

Recommendations

For the moment, we think you’re better off with Wrapify. You may also want to consider Promotocar, Carvertise and MyFreeCar. But there’s nothing prohibiting you from signing up with everybody.
