Generally, Lyft is slightly cheaper than Uber right now, at least for me here in New York (with both Lyft Pink and Uber Pass on my accounts). I use both regularly and I generally check both when I am looking for a more expensive ride. I’ve been using these services regularly for years so I know the rodeo

EDIT - I just checked a couple of things - on a popular route for me, Uber regular price is about $13 versus $12 for Lyft. That said,
1) Lyft has cancelled my Lyft Pink after my CSR downgrade. I had about six months left on my free Lyft Pink year
2) Due to Uber Pass and some promotions I have, the Uber regular price is about $9 for that route
