Not every UK minicab firm needs online booking on day one. Many profitable operators still run phone-first offices with a small dispatch team and loyal account customers. DispatchMobile Starter and Pro reflect that split.
Choose Starter if your office is phone-first
Starter fits operators who:
- Take most bookings by phone or walk-in
- Dispatch manually from an office screen or tablet
- Want drivers on a mobile app without giving passengers a booking app
- Need live tracking and basic reporting at the lowest monthly cost
At £29/month, Starter includes the operator dashboard, live driver map, driver app, and up to 10 drivers — with no long-term contract and a 14-day free trial.
Upgrade to Pro when customers expect to book online
Pro makes sense when you:
- Want a web booking widget on your company website
- Need a branded passenger app for repeat customers
- Run corporate accounts with invoicing and credit limits
- Want advanced analytics, multi-zone dispatch, or API access
Pro is £39/month with the same 10-driver base. Online jobs flow into the same dispatch queue as phone bookings — no duplicate entry.
Common mistake: paying for passenger apps too early
A polished passenger app does not fix missed phone calls or slow dispatch. Fix the operator workflow first. Add online channels when you have demand, not because competitors have an app in the store.
