AirportRidePro vs CabStartup: past the starter kit, into a real operation
CabStartup is aimed squarely at new entrants: get a passenger app, a driver app and basic dispatch running quickly and cheaply so you can test a market. As a launchpad it does what it says. The limits appear once the operation becomes a business — corporate accounts asking for consolidated invoices and cost centres, airport work needing live flight feeds and waiting rules, drivers needing document expiry tracking for licensing, and demand you can no longer serve by watching a map. AirportRidePro starts at a comparable price but is built for that second phase, with the compliance, accounting and AI tooling already in place.

Switching from CabStartup
Is AirportRidePro too much for a two-car operation?
No. Starter is designed for one to five vehicles, and the AI does the work a dispatcher would otherwise do.
Can I move my existing bookings across?
Yes, including future-dated pre-bookings and saved passenger addresses.
Do you charge per driver?
No. Plans cover your fleet, so adding drivers does not change your monthly bill on Starter or Professional.
