The alternative to commissioning a custom shuttle app is usually not a cheaper studio — it is buying the shipped product that already does the job.
Verify current PixTaxi pricing and features on their own site before deciding — plans change.

A bespoke build runs $6k–$20k upfront plus $300–$1,000/month maintenance. Shuttle.Software runs $1,487 in year one — setup plus twelve months — including the SEO booking website, driver app, dispatch, flight tracking and every future release.
Configured in 3–5 working days: routes, zones, rates, payment gateways, languages and the booking widget on your existing site. Selling seats this month usually beats waiting on a build for the same outcome.
If your model genuinely needs features no shuttle platform ships — a franchise marketplace, a novel pricing engine — a studio build is the right tool. For moving passengers between airports, hotels and cruise ports, it rarely is.
Choose PixTaxi if you have a genuinely novel product that no shipped platform covers and the budget to own a codebase. Choose Shuttle.Software if you need a working shuttle business this week — bookings, dispatch, drivers, flights and an SEO website — without becoming a software company.
Shuttle.Software — a shipped shuttle-first SaaS with the same booking, dispatch, driver app and flight-tracking workflow at $99/mo flat instead of a custom project.
Rarely in practice for shuttle operations. Routes, rates, zones, branding, languages and gateways are configurable, and Growth plans add webhooks and a REST API.
3–5 working days with free migration of customers, reservations, routes and rates.
Send us a two-line brief and we'll load your city, routes and rate sheet into a live sandbox before the demo call. Free migration from PixTaxi included.
