iCabbi alternatives for taxi operators

Why do operators look for an iCabbi alternative?

iCabbi is an established dispatch provider based in Dublin, with listed regions in the UK, Ireland, the Nordics, Benelux, Iberia, North America, Australia and New Zealand. Operators who review it usually do so for practical reasons rather than one missing feature:

• Ownership: RCI Bank and Services, part of the Renault group, took a 75% stake in iCabbi in 2018. Some operators prefer a supplier that is independent of carmakers and ride-hailing platforms; others are comfortable with it.
• Pricing model: iCabbi prices per active driver and does not publish its prices. Operators who budget against trip volume may want a published price to compare.
• Regional rules: German-speaking and South-East European markets are not among iCabbi’s listed regions. Centrals there need taximeter, fiscal and tariff rules handled inside dispatch.

What are the main iCabbi alternatives?

1. eCabs Technologies

Dispatch and ride-hailing software built for and run on eCabs’ own taxi operation in Malta, which has competed with Bolt since 2017 and with Uber since 2022. It covers dispatch, a driver app, a passenger app in your own brand, phone and AI booking, corporate accounts, open APIs and webhooks, DATEV and SAP Business One exports, and taximeter and German TSE integration.

• Best for: established taxi centrals, co-operatives and private hire operators in Europe moving off a legacy or current system.
• Pricing: published, from €600 a month plus €0.10 per completed trip (Starter, up to 5,000 trips a month), with Professional and Growth plans above and custom Enterprise+ pricing over 30,000 trips. Unlimited dispatcher seats on every plan.
• Switching: eight stages with go/no-go gates and dates agreed after discovery; your current system keeps running until you decide to cut over.

• Pricing: not published.

3. Cordic

Dispatch provider (Cordic Ltd) for taxi and private hire fleets. Its website says it is owned by operators, and it runs SuperYes, a network for sharing jobs between fleets.

• Pricing: not published on its website; demo on request.

4. TaxiCaller

Self-service cloud dispatch system that the operator sets up itself, with a free trial.

• Best for: small and mid-size fleets that want to start quickly and set up dispatch themselves.

• Switching: self-service set-up by the operator.

5. TaxiDex

Newer dispatch provider, founded in 2020, with published per-driver pricing and a migration offer aimed at fleets leaving Autocab or iCabbi.

How should you choose an iCabbi alternative?

• Data export: find out what you can export from iCabbi (customers, saved addresses, corporate accounts and their terms, booking history, drivers, vehicles, zones and tariffs) and ask each supplier to review a real sample export before you sign.
• Parallel running: can your current system keep running while a pilot group of drivers moves across, with a clear go/no-go decision before cutover?
• Integrations: taximeters and fiscal units, card terminals and payment provider, accounting exports such as DATEV or SAP Business One, phone numbers and automated phone booking.
• Own-brand app: is the passenger app published in your name, and does your customer data stay the property of your company?
• Pricing transparency: is there a published price, and does it scale per driver, per vehicle or per trip?
• Ownership: ask every supplier who owns it and how your commercial data is protected.

How do you switch from iCabbi?

With eCabs Technologies the move runs in eight stages: discovery, setup, training, a pilot with a small driver group, expansion in batches, your own branded passenger app, cutover and ongoing improvement. Each stage ends with a go/no-go gate, iCabbi keeps running until you decide to cut over, and each step is tested before the next one begins. Customers, corporate accounts and booking history come with you, from whatever you can lawfully and practically export.

Operators running on eCabs Technologies include Taxi Fiume in Croatia, which moved after more than ten years on its old system, Volt in Bulgaria, TaxiNow in Germany, Blue in Romania, Taxi.gr in Greece, RooRides in Australia and eCabs in Malta.
