Cabsoluit fits small and mid-size UK taxi and private hire fleets that want published pricing, fast setup, and WhatsApp booking built in. iCabbi fits large, often global fleets that take a lot of phone bookings and want an AI powered call system, and don’t mind a longer, sales led onboarding.

We have spent years helping UK taxi operators pick and set up dispatch software. The question I hear most isn’t “which one is better.” It’s “which one fits how my fleet actually works.” That’s the question this guide answers.

What Is iCabbi?

iCabbi is a cloud-based dispatch platform used by fleets worldwide, built around what it calls the “Taxi 360” system. iCabbi reports 99.999% uptime and a 98% customer retention rate.
Its standout feature is voice: an AI powered IVR system that handles phone bookings automatically, which matters a lot if your fleet still takes most bookings by phone.
It also has a route planning tool built for non-emergency medical transport, a niche few dispatch platforms touch at all. In the UK, iCabbi is sold through an exclusive reseller in Nottinghamshire.
There’s no published pricing you go through a demo and a quote.

What Is Cabsoluit?

Cabsoluit is built specifically for UK taxi and private hire operators. It brings phone, app, web, and WhatsApp bookings into one dashboard.
Every price tier is published, starting at £30 per vehicle a month, and most fleets are live within one to two days, with a 14-day free trial to test it first.

The Real Difference: Which Platform Fits Your Fleet

This is where most comparisons stop short, they list features side by side and never say why the difference matters. Here’s the honest version.

iCabbi:

iCabbi was built for scale and voice. If your business runs a busy call center, takes hundreds of phone bookings a day, or operates across multiple countries, its AI call handling is a genuine strength most UK focused platforms don’t try to match.
That strength comes with enterprise pricing and a longer sales process, which makes sense for its market but is overkill for a 10-vehicle operator.

Cabsoluit:

Cabsoluit was built for UK operators who want to see the number before they talk to anyone, and who want modern booking channels, especially WhatsApp, without paying for enterprise call center infrastructure they’ll never use.
It’s also the only one of the two with dedicated school run and recurring booking tools, which matters more than it sounds: school contracts run on tight compliance and scheduling rules that generic dispatch software handles badly.
Neither platform is “better” in the abstract. The fit depends on your call volume, your fleet size, and whether school runs or corporate contracts are part of your business.

Conclusion

iCabbi earns its place with large or global fleets that live on the phone and want an enterprise grade voice system. Cabsoluit earns its place with UK operators from one car to a hundred.
Those who actually want clear pricing, a fast start, and booking tools built around how UK fleets, especially school run and corporate operators, actually work.
