FAQ
Questions We Hear Every Week
An on-demand platform is really three products: a customer app, a provider app and an admin panel. A focused MVP covering all three costs $35,000 to $70,000. Multi-city platforms with live tracking, in-app payments and automated dispatch run $70,000 to $150,000 or more. You get a fixed-price quote after a free scoping call.
Typically a customer app, a provider or driver app, and an admin and dispatch dashboard, all sharing one real-time backend. We scope the exact set to your model.
A focused MVP of the customer app, provider app and admin panel takes 12 to 16 weeks. A multi-city platform with live tracking, payments and dispatch takes 5 to 8 months. You see a working build every two weeks, and your quote lists the milestones.
