$40,000 gross × 5% commission
Software cost: $2,000 / month. At 20,000 trips, software cost grows to $8,000/mo — the platform takes more as you grow.
Your software bill scales with revenue
Side-by-side
TaxiDex vs Onde — flat fee, not revenue share
Onde's percentage-based pricing punishes your growth: the better you scale, the more they take. TaxiDex charges a flat trip-based fee, so 100% of marginal revenue stays in your business.
Why Onde gets more expensive as you scale
A 5% commission feels small at $50k/month. At $500k/month, that's $25k/month you're paying for the same software. The math doesn't favor you.
Revenue share scales with you
Onde's percentage model means a successful launch pays them more every month. The tool gets more expensive precisely when your unit economics start working.
Predictable flat fee
TaxiDex bills $299 / $899 / from $2,500 per month based on trip volume. Beyond your included trips, $0.08–$0.15 per trip — never a percent of your fare.
Who really owns your customer?
On many SaaS ride-hailing platforms, the customer experience and data flows live partly with the vendor. Your CRM, your retention — partially leased.
100% data ownership
TaxiDex is white-label down to the database. Customer list, trip history, ratings, and tokens are yours. Export anytime via API or one-click data dump.
Limited deep customization
For markets like Nigeria or Kenya, you may need M-Pesa integration, local language support, or USSD fallback. SaaS templates often can't bend that far.
Open API + bespoke work
Enterprise plan includes bespoke API work for regional payment gateways (M-Pesa, Paystack, Flutterwave), USSD fallback, and Swahili/Yoruba/Hausa localisation.
Onde vs TaxiDex at 5,000 trips/month
Assume an average fare of $8 USD and 5,000 monthly completed trips.
$899 + (5,000 − included trips) overage
On the Professional plan, 5,000 trips are well within the 10,000 included. Software cost: $899 / month — flat, regardless of fare.
You keep $1,101 more per month at this volume
