Dispatch software costs
How much does Cabsoluit cost per month?
Cabsoluit is commonly quoted at roughly £15–£350 a month, billed in bands by active vehicle rather than per booking, Cabsoluit is commonly quoted at roughly £15–£350 a month, billed in bands by active vehicle rather than per booking. We cannot derive a reliable per-vehicle rate from that, because the band boundaries are not published.. Those are indicative figures, not a rate card we hold. Two costs sit outside them: how an "active" vehicle is counted in a quiet month, and module, SMS or hardware bolt-ons. Confirm both on your own written quote.
The billing unit
What you are actually paying for
The unit widely reported for Cabsoluit is the active vehicle, charged in bands rather than a flat per-car rate, with no trip overage commonly attached — figures we have not verified. A banded bill steps rather than slides: adding one car can cost nothing until it crosses a boundary, then jumps a whole band. Public banding is commonly said to stop around 50 vehicles, so larger fleets move into custom quoting where the transparency ends. Ask which months a parked or off-road vehicle still counts.
The rest of the bill
Costs that sit outside the headline rate
What counts as an active vehicle
Band pricing lives or dies on the count. If the rule is any vehicle that took a job, a car that ran twice in a slow month bills like one that ran daily, and a school-run fleet can sit a band higher all summer. Ask for the counting rule in writing, and whether it is measured daily, monthly or at peak.
Setup, migration and training
Cabsoluit is widely reported to charge no setup fee and to run pay-as-you-go without lock-in — a contract term, and one we cannot confirm. Even where that holds, migration is work: exporting your booking history, account customers and driver records, then rebuilding tariffs and zones. Ask who does it, on whose hours, and what a rebuild costs if it goes wrong.
Everything above the published bands
Banding is commonly said to run to about fifty vehicles. Past that you are in custom quoting, where the indicative numbers on this page stop applying entirely and the price is whatever the negotiation produces. If you expect to cross that line inside your contract year, get the next band priced now, in writing, before you sign.
Seats, modules, SMS and card fees
A dispatch subscription is rarely the whole invoice. Passenger-app branding, extra dispatcher logins, SMS and voice traffic, card processing fees and any add-on module are the line items that typically sit outside a headline rate, and we hold no itemised list for Cabsoluit. Ask for a sample invoice from a fleet your size rather than a headline monthly figure.
Run the numbers
A worked example
Take a ten-driver fleet. On TaxiDex Starter that is 10 × £11/$14 = £110/$140 a month; the £79/$100 monthly minimum does not bind, because it only applies below about seven drivers. On the Cabsoluit side, a figure of roughly £100 a month at ten active vehicles is commonly quoted — indicative only, not a quote we hold. At that size the two land close, so decide on fit, not on ten pounds.
Competitor figures quoted anywhere on this site are indicative market numbers, not quotations we hold. Confirm the current rate — and the line items around it — directly with the vendor.

Does Cabsoluit publish its pricing?
Figures do circulate — an active-vehicle banding commonly quoted at roughly £15 to £350 a month, running to about fifty vehicles. We hold no verified rate card for Cabsoluit, so treat every one of those numbers as indicative rather than a price you can hold anyone to. The honest position is that the only binding figure is the one on your own written quote, dated, with the band boundaries and the counting rule spelled out.
Is Cabsoluit cheaper than TaxiDex?
At small scale it may well be, on headline rate. A commonly quoted £100 a month at ten active vehicles sits just under TaxiDex Starter at 10 × £11/$14 = £110/$140 — indicative on their side, published on ours. The picture changes higher up: TaxiDex is £9/$11 per driver from 21 drivers and from £7/$9 above 100, on the same published card, while Cabsoluit's banding is commonly said to stop around fifty vehicles and become a custom quote.
Does Cabsoluit charge a setup fee or lock you into a contract?
It is widely reported to have no setup fee and to run pay-as-you-go with no lock-in. Contract terms are facts like any other, and we hold no copy of their agreement, so get it in writing: notice period, mid-term price changes, and what leaving costs. On our side, TaxiDex runs a 14-day free trial, and setup is a one-time fee scoped and quoted on the demo call rather than a published number., and setup is a one-time fee scoped and quoted on the demo call rather than a published number.
What does Cabsoluit cost above fifty vehicles?
Nobody can tell you honestly, including us. The banding commonly quoted for Cabsoluit runs to about fifty vehicles, and above that it becomes a negotiated figure we have no visibility of. If you are near that line, price the jump before you sign rather than after. TaxiDex publishes the whole curve instead: £11/$14 per active driver to 20, £9/$11 from 21 to 100, and from £7/$9 beyond 100, with a £79/$100 monthly minimum.
Is app branding included in the monthly price?
Branding is a cost question as much as a product one, because passenger-app branding is often a paid line item. On TaxiDex, the passenger app and web booker carry your operator brand; the driver app is always TaxiDex-branded, and we would rather say so than let you find out at launch. We hold no confirmed detail on how Cabsoluit scopes or prices branding, so ask exactly which apps carry your name and what that adds per month.
