A white-label taxi app is a fully branded passenger and driver app that an operator licenses from a vendor and re-skins under their own name. Passengers see your logo, colours and company name — never the vendor's. This 2026 guide covers what white-label really means, real costs, launch timelines, and how the six leading vendors compare.
Quick answer: White-label taxi apps in 2026 cost $99–$25,000 setup and $99–$999/month depending on tier. Most fleets under 200 vehicles launch in 7–21 days and save 60–80% vs custom development. Compare pricing on the software cost calculator.
What "White-Label" Actually Means
A white-label taxi platform is three connected products, all branded as yours:
- Passenger app (iOS + Android) — booking, live tracking, card payment, ratings, referrals.
- Driver app — job offers, navigation, earnings, document expiry alerts.
- Dispatch console — live map, auto/manual allocation, tariffs, zones, accounts, reports.
The apps are published under your Apple and Google developer accounts, so end-users never see the vendor. See how our branded booking app is packaged.
