    White-label: $8,500 one-time, 3–5 weeks to live
    Custom native: $40,000–$120,000, 4–8 months
    White-label ships on your Apple/Google developer accounts
    Both give you passenger app + driver app + dispatch console
    Only build custom when the workflow is genuinely novel

    Path 1 — white-label

    The white-label path uses a proven codebase, rebrands it (logo, colours, splash, name, icon) and ships on your Apple and Google developer accounts. Taxi Web Design's $8,500 package includes both apps, dispatch console, booking website, corporate accounts module and 24/7 support. Time-to-live: 3–5 weeks. Ongoing hosting: optional $99/month.

    Path 2 — custom native

    Custom native is a ground-up React Native or Flutter build. Team: 1 PM, 2 mobile devs, 1 backend dev, 1 QA, 1 designer. Timeline: 4–8 months. Cost: $40,000–$120,000 depending on location and scope. Only justified when your workflow is genuinely novel — e.g., you're a marketplace matching healthcare transport to insurance codes.

    Cost of custom you don't see upfront

    Post-launch maintenance is 20–30% of build cost per year: OS updates, third-party SDK changes, security patches, feature requests. A $120,000 build costs $24,000–$36,000/year to maintain. Over three years that's a $200,000–$230,000 commitment vs $8,500 for white-label.

    When to build custom

    Novel workflows (multi-sided marketplace, healthcare transport, insurance integration). Regulatory requirements no vendor supports (e.g., specific EU healthcare compliance). Investor pressure for defensible IP. Otherwise, white-label is the correct answer.
