Pricing for taxi dispatch software in 2026 is messier than it needs to be. Most vendors put "starting at $99/month" on the homepage, then hide the per-driver seats, SMS overages and booking commissions in a 30-page contract. This guide pulls every line item out into the open.
The Five Pricing Components Every Vendor Charges
- One-time setup — $0 to $15,000 depending on whether you brand the apps.
- Monthly platform fee — $99 (starter) to $1,500 (enterprise).
- Per-driver seat — $15 to $45 per active driver, billed monthly.
- Per-trip commission — 1.5% to 3% of every fare, deducted automatically.
- White-label app fees — $1,500 to $3,000 one-time, plus annual recompile charges.

SaaS vs One-Time: The 3-Year Math
Run the spreadsheet. A 10-vehicle fleet on a typical SaaS contract spends $25,000–$45,000 over 36 months once seats and commissions are added. The same fleet on a one-time custom platform spends $8,500 plus hosting. Break-even usually lands inside 12 months — and from month 13 onwards, you're just keeping money.

We charge $8,500 once. That covers the passenger app, driver app, admin dashboard, white-label branding, Stripe payments, and the source code itself. Nothing recurring goes to us. You can sanity-check it against our white-label platform page or open the full pricing breakdown.
