TechBuilder builds custom taxi and shuttle apps as a services project — bespoke, but you carry the code, the maintenance and the timeline. Shuttle.Software is a shipped shuttle-first SaaS: same day-to-day features, flat monthly price, live in a working week.

Choose TechBuilder if you specifically want to own a bespoke codebase and have budget for a build project plus ongoing developer maintenance. Choose Shuttle.Software if you want the same shuttle workflow — per-seat booking, dispatch, driver app, flight tracking — as a shipped product with a flat monthly price, continuous updates and an SEO website included.
A custom build sounds flexible until you're paying to fix bugs on your own code twelve months later. Shuttle.Software gives you the identical daily workflow, but the roadmap, security patches, integrations and SEO stack are our problem — not yours. You focus on moving passengers; we ship the features.
TechBuilder sells custom-built taxi and shuttle platforms as one-time projects with ongoing maintenance retainers — total first-year cost is typically several thousand dollars. Shuttle.Software is a flat $99/mo with a one-time $299 setup and no code to maintain.
No — it's a SaaS product, so you don't own or maintain code. You get continuous product updates, security patches and new features at no extra cost, which is what most 1–30 vehicle operators actually want.
A typical TechBuilder-style build lands at $6k–$20k upfront plus a monthly maintenance retainer, so year one is usually $10k+. Shuttle.Software is $299 setup + $99/mo × 12 = $1,487 all-in — including the SEO booking website, driver app, dispatch and updates.
We do — hosting, uptime, security patches, App Store / Play Store submissions and new features are part of your monthly plan.
