Julia Antion, General Manager at TechMobi Written Feb 9 The simple idea of “Single tap cab booking” by two youths in 2008 is now creating a revolution in the entire world. No one ever expected that a single app started to request cab service in the large metropolitan city is now gonna change entire logistic industry. The invention in technology has leveraged people with almost everything at their convenience. The success of UBER is an inspiration for today's startups and entrepreneurs to come up with something new to the world. Witnessing the success of such small startup, UBER has expanded its wings in almost each and every industry, connecting different borders, culture, and languages. Now, UBER is available in almost 50+ countries globally and the stunning success of this application is making entrepreneurs repeat the same business model.
When I was evaluating some renowned mobile app development companies for getting some insights of the Uber-like app, I found the list of some good companies that excel in the development of on-demand applications. Here is the list:
Cost to develop an iPhone App like Uber from leading app development companies:
1. Hyperlink Infosystem: $6,000 to $30,000
2. Fueled: $100,000 to $300,000
3. Plastic Mobile: $80,000 to $250,000
4. Exygy: $100,000 to $250,000
5. MSTQ: $90,000 to $200,000
One of the strongest things that UBER offers to the world is seamless communication between driver and passenger offering easy cab services. As a development researcher, there are two questions that people usually ask: 1) How to develop clone app like UBER? 2) How much would it cost to develop such app on iOS?
Well, it's quite challenging to answer such question as application features are dynamic that affects the overall pricing of the app. If you are thinking to develop a clone app like UBER then, there are many factors that affect the development of UBER.
Ask yourself below questions before build an app like Uber:
1. How many types of car do you want to list out for booking?
2. How many pages are involved in completing process till Token generation?
3. How many payment options you will provide to users?
4. How many kilometers will you cover?
5. How will your app communicate with users? Like calling, chatting.
Once you have decided and pen down the answers to all the above questions, then it's time to decide what features and modules you will include in the development of clone app like UBER. Two types of the application need to be developed in UBER. Here I am listing some common features of both profiles.
1) UBER App For Passenger
Booking taxi for ride. Tracking availability of drivers. Integrating Google Map to set pickup and drop location. Fare calculation. Selection of cab type. Live tracking of a cab after its booking like cab start, arrival, etc. Integration of Payment option for performing payment. Booking history Review and ratings Text or calling facility to driver Estimated fair calculation and promo code. 2) UBER App For Driver
Profile Registration and Editing Activity alert that informs the driver when he is requested for a ride. Updating status whenever driver accepts or deny the request. Booking history where order list can be seen. Navigation with Google So now you are aware of some basic feature set to develop a clone app like UBER, you have two options.
1. You can approach development team to get your app designed and developed from scratch as per your requirement and business needs.
2. You can straightaway contact a company who already have an app developed and you just need some customization as per your business needs.
If you find the first option feasible and smart, it may lead to an expensive decision for your pocket since the development of entire application right from scratch may invest a good amount of time and money. The next option is pretty economical as you just need a minor set of customization. In case if you are interested in going with second and the most economical option, I have something interesting for you.
Before approaching any of these companies, I would like to give you some information that will surely help you to get a rough estimate of the budget.
