This study uses a qualitative method where the author collects respondent data through a questionnaire. The qualitative method is used for the reason of measuring the comparison of online motorcycle taxi platforms used by students of Medan State University (UNIMED). The results of this study indicate that the preferences of Medan State University students vary between Grab and Gojek due to several factors that influence them. From the results of this study, it can be seen that the preferences of Medan State University students tend to choose Grab. Grab is considered to offer more attractive discounts and promos and cheaper prices. Meanwhile, some students choose Grab because it offers a wider variety of payment methods.
