How much does it cost to build a basic taxi app?

Being a Trusted Mobile app development company, we have been asked questions like;

How to Build an App Like Uber?

How much does it cost to build an App similar to Uber?

I want to build a Taxi App similar to Uber. How can we go about it?


Being a responsible solution provider we thought to bring you the exclusive information which helps to answer all the above questions.



Uber, being released in March 2009 has changed the way people think of Taxi and Transportation services worldwide. Even though it’s in the market for almost 7 years — the market there is still pretty competitive. Things that matters are the quality of the services (such as price, car quantity, on-time delivery, etc…) and the usability of the application itself. Also, you should not forget that we are talking about 2 apps instead of 1, as there is one app for a driver and the other one that is used by passengers. To keep things under control you would also need a web-based admin dashboard.


I will provide you the information about Uber’s features, the way it works, time estimates, and some interesting facts. At the end of the answer, you will receive clear infographics with all the numbers needed to get a full pricing picture.

Uber for Driver

Admin Dashboard

Admin dashboard is a web-based tool that allows administrators to manage drivers’ and passengers’ accounts and activities, generate various reports, change and adjust promotions, etc… The amount of settings and tools available in the admin dashboard depends on your needs and the time needed for the development process can vary. The average developer`s time needed for building an Admin Dashboard with the basic features varies from 60 to 80 hours.


UI/UX

The idea of UI/UX is to make a journey through the application easy and enjoyable, to build experience users would love and make them coming back again and again. Some lovely custom designs for the taxi app will add 160 – 200 hours to your project.


Additional Expenses

While building an application you shouldn’t forget about the supporting processes such as quality assurance, project management, and DevOps. Book some additional (in percents from the overall development) time for those: 15% for quality assurance, 10% for project management, and 5% more for DevOps.


Now we have the information about the time needed to build features that allow a taxi app to exist. But what about the actual cost? To calculate the total cost we would need some information about the app development companies` rates. According to statista the average rates of mobile app development companies in India, USA, UK, and Europe are as following:

  • India — $15-60 per hour

  • USA — $60-250 per hour

  • UK — $60-150 per hour

  • Europe — $40-120 per hour
