Option A: hire a native mobile team (2 iOS, 2 Android, 1 backend, 1 designer, 1 PM) and ship an MVP in 4–9 months for $40,000–$150,000. Option B: white-label an existing platform under your brand and go live in days for a fraction of the cost. Ninety-five percent of operators under 50 vehicles pick Option B — a custom build only makes sense if you have a genuinely unique product angle that off-the-shelf platforms cannot deliver.
Passenger app: signup, address autocomplete, fare estimate, booking, live tracking, in-app payment, rating. Driver app: login, availability toggle, job accept/reject, navigation, cash/card collection, earnings dashboard. Dispatch console: live map, manual assign, queue view, driver management, corporate accounts, invoicing. Website: SEO booking page, corporate portal, contact and about. Anything less and your customers will churn to Uber or Bolt inside a month.
Modern taxi apps use React Native or Flutter for the passenger and driver apps, a Node.js or Go backend, PostgreSQL/PostGIS for geospatial data and Redis for the dispatch queue. Publishing under your Apple developer account ($99/year) and Google Play developer account ($25 one-time) is non-negotiable — otherwise your app disappears when a vendor de-lists you. Taxi Web Design publishes to your accounts by default.
For 5–20 vehicle fleets the $399 web booker plus $10/month gives you a mobile-responsive booking website, SMS/email confirmations, driver-side booking notifications and Stripe payments in 5–10 business days. Upgrade to the $8,500 enterprise plan when you outgrow it — full white-label passenger + driver + dispatch apps, one-time payment, source-code ownership included.
Publishing under the vendor's Apple/Google account (you lose the app if you leave). Skipping the dispatch console (drivers self-assign badly). Building only iOS or only Android (you lose 40–60% of your addressable market). Skipping corporate accounts (that's where 30–50% of profitable revenue lives). Skipping SEO on the booking website (paid ads eat every dollar of margin).
Every operator, from a single chauffeur to a 500-vehicle fleet, gets the same promise: zero per-trip commission, no per-driver fees.
