Taxi app cost guide
White-label taxi app cost: plan your launch and running budget
A white-label taxi app usually costs $1,000 to $4,500 to set up. Monthly fees run from $100 to $750, and some vendors also charge per trip or take a share of fares. Hoppvia costs $1,990 a year for up to 50 drivers plus a $499 setup fee. Trips are unlimited, with 0% commission.

How much does a white-label taxi app cost?
Published prices fall into four models. Compare them over the same 12 months and the same trip volume.
- Setup + monthly by trip volume: for example, Yelowsoft lists $999 setup and plans from $99 a month for 500 trips.
- Setup + monthly + share of fares: for example, Onde lists $4,500 one-time plus $99 a month and a percentage of each trip.
- Per ride: for example, Jugnoo lists $0.10 or $0.075 per ride.
- Flat yearly price: Hoppvia costs $1,990 a year for up to 50 drivers or $3,990 for 51–200, plus $499 setup, with unlimited trips and 0% commission. See Hoppvia pricing.
With most vendors you also pay Google Maps API usage, which grows with every booking. Hoppvia offers built-in maps that avoid those bills, or you can connect your own Google Maps account. SMS, payment gateway usage and Apple and Google developer fees are paid on your own accounts.
Why taxi software quotes vary
Taxi software prices depend on your fleet size, trip volume, cities, connected services and support. A headline price may leave out setup, usage fees or ongoing costs.
Hoppvia publishes flat yearly plans from $1,990, with hosting, updates, unlimited trips and 0% commission. Fleets over 200 drivers get a custom quote.
Start with the Hoppvia pricing overview to compare plans.
What to check in a software proposal
Check the customer and driver apps, dispatch tools, branding, hosting, setup work, app store help and support. Ask what's included, what depends on another company and what costs extra.
Every Hoppvia plan includes hosting and updates. Starter has email support, Growth has priority support and Enterprise has an SLA. Store approval is decided by Apple or Google.
Published taxi software prices: two examples
Some vendors publish their prices. Others only give quotes. We checked these published prices on 2 November 2026. Each package includes different things. Confirm currency, taxes and terms with each supplier.
| Published offer | Setup and recurring price | Important scope detail |
|---|---|---|
| Yelowsoft Starter | $999 setup plus $99/month | 500 trips/month; published extra-trip charge $0.20. Branded customer and driver apps are listed as extra-cost options. |
| Exicube Taxi Starter white label | $2,099 setup plus $249/month | Published as a branded-app offer. External provider fees and separately scoped work remain outside the headline amount. |
| Hoppvia | From $1,990 per year, unlimited trips, 0% commission | Branded apps, dispatch panel, hosting and updates included. |

A worked twelve-month software budget
At the published base rates above, Yelowsoft Starter calculates as $999 + 12 × $99 = $2,187 for the first twelve months before add-ons, overages and other charges. Exicube Taxi Starter calculates as $2,099 + 12 × $249 = $5,087 before separate charges. The packages include different things, so these totals don't show which is cheaper for your needs.
For a fictional planning workload of 1,000 trips every month, Yelowsoft Starter's published 500-trip allowance leaves 500 extra trips at $0.20: $100 more per month, or $1,200 over twelve months. Ask the vendor which plan fits that volume.
Before you compare, add branding, provider fees, support, data migration, accounts and taxes. For Hoppvia, use the published plan prices. If you are weighing a ready platform against a development project, use the white-label versus custom taxi app comparison.
Check operating costs alongside the quote
Hoppvia plans include hosting and updates; custom integration work is quoted on the Enterprise plan. Provider fees, developer account fees and taxes are paid separately.
| Cost | What changes the amount | What to request |
|---|---|---|
| Maps and routing | Selected provider and use of address search, maps, routes and location services. | Provider, expected usage, allowances and overage terms. |
| SMS, OTP and notifications | Destination countries, message volume, sender registration and selected channels. | Supported authentication and messaging services, prices and account ownership. |
| Payment processing | Payment provider, market, currencies, transaction volume and refund terms. | Integrated payment methods, provider fees and responsibility for reconciliation. |
| Developer accounts | The app platforms and developer accounts agreed for release. | Account owner, registration or renewal charges and who submits the apps. |
| Work outside the agreed scope | Migration or custom work beyond the agreed launch scope. | An itemized scope identifying what is included and any extra work. |
| Ongoing services | Optional maintenance or external services selected for the operation. | Service terms, usage basis, account ownership and renewal duties. |
| Taxes and local charges | Your billing location and the charges that apply to the purchase and services. | A written quote showing applicable charges for your business. |
Provider costs vary by market, account and usage. Agree who owns and pays for each account before launch.
Build a complete taxi software budget
Use the same numbers for every provider. Note the licence, what's included, extra work, provider fees, developer accounts, taxes and support.
- List the locations, ride types and fleet or booking workload you expect.
- Confirm which app, dispatch and operator workflows are included.
- Write down hosting, integrations, provider accounts and usage charges.
- Review proposed support needs and the terms for later maintenance.
- Ask the provider to show agreed work and separate charges in the written quote.
This gives your team a more useful comparison than a single headline amount.
How much will white-label taxi software cost over a year?
There is no single annual price that fits every taxi operation. For a 12-month comparison, add one-time setup to 12 months of running costs, expected usage fees, yearly account fees and taxes. Count each item once.
Use the same drivers, bookings, countries and integrations for every supplier. Make a second estimate for your busiest month. If something isn't priced, treat it as unknown, not free.
Hoppvia's published plans start at $1,990 per year with unlimited trips. The dispatch cost calculator estimates staff time savings. It is not a software quote.
Send a brief that makes the quote useful
Share your country and city, fleet size, expected bookings, ride types and how you take bookings today. Mention any payment, language or data migration needs.
Ask each supplier in writing what setup is included, who owns each account, provider fees and support. Use the taxi booking software evaluation checklist to review the proposal against a real booking journey. Then request a Hoppvia demo.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Hoppvia cost?
Hoppvia Starter costs $1,990 per year for up to 50 drivers and Growth $3,990 per year for 51–200 drivers, each with a $499 one-time setup fee. Trips are unlimited with 0% commission, and hosting and updates are included.
Which costs are paid separately?
You pay SMS and payment gateway fees, Apple and Google developer accounts and taxes through your own accounts. For maps, choose Hoppvia's built-in maps, which avoid Google Maps API bills, or connect your own Google Maps account and pay Google directly.
Does a low setup price mean lower total cost?
Not necessarily. Per-trip, per-vehicle and revenue-share fees grow with your bookings, so compare the total over 12 to 36 months at your expected trip volume.
Is there a monthly fee?
No. Hoppvia is billed yearly, and hosting and updates are included in the yearly price.
Is a custom-built taxi app cheaper?
Rarely. With a custom build, you pay for design, building, testing, hosting and maintenance yourself. The build-versus-buy guide compares both options.
