Who owns Autocab and iCabbi?

Autocab is owned by Uber: the Competition and Markets Authority cleared Uber's purchase of GPC Software Limited (Autocab) on 29 March 2021, finding no competition concerns.[3][2]

What does each sell?

Autocab lists booking and dispatch, a passenger app and its iGo marketplace, which it says gives fleets access to trip aggregators and demand generators such as Uber; it describes a cloud-based management platform. iCabbi lists dispatch, a driver app and a passenger app, and says it is the only provider harnessing Google Fleet Engine for dispatch.[1][2]

How should a fleet choose between them?

Ask both the same questions in writing: total price per vehicle or driver including set-up, contract length and exit terms, data export on leaving, which integrations are included, and what happens to your bookings data. For Autocab, ask how the iGo marketplace and Uber ownership affect your work; for iCabbi, ask what Fleet Engine changes for your dispatchers.
