What it costs at 300 rides a month
The card rate matters more than the plan price, so here's the full monthly bill for an operator running 300 rides a month at a $120 average: $36,000 in card payments.
| Moovs Standard | Moovs Pro | Full Platform | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plan | $149 | $199 | $499 |
| Card processing | $1,314 | $1,170 | $1,134 |
| Monthly total | $1,463 | $1,369 | $1,633 |
At this size, Moovs Pro costs about $264 a month less. The Full Platform's extra buys a custom-built website with a page for every airport, route and city you serve, and the leads tool. If you'd pay a designer for a website anyway, add that to the Moovs side before comparing. Run your own numbers with the booking fee calculator.
Where Moovs is the better fit
You're just starting. You can try the software on the free plan, and the paid plans start well below $499 a month.
You want the lowest monthly bill. At most volumes, a Moovs plan plus its card rate costs less than the Full Platform.
You want a native passenger app. Moovs sells one. The Full Platform has none; riders book on your website.
Where the Full Platform is the better fit
You want a website built to rank, not a builder. The Full Platform includes a custom site with a page for each airport, route and city you serve, built around the searches riders make in your market. We build it; you don't.
You want the payments in your own account. Riders pay through your own Stripe account, and the money pays out to your bank on Stripe's schedule. If you ever leave, your payment history and customers stay in your Stripe account.
You want help finding work. The leads tool finds the hotels, venues and corporate travel managers in your market, with a contact and an outreach script for each.
You want it done for you. Setup includes your vehicles, rates, service areas and corporate accounts, from an export of your current system.
Conclusion
Moovs is the stronger choice if you're starting out, want the lowest monthly bill or need a passenger app. The Full Platform is the stronger choice if you want a custom website built to rank, payments in your own Stripe account and the leads tool, all at one flat price.
