Cordic is one of the dispatch platforms UK and Ireland fleet operators most often migrate from to a modern alternative. Like iCabbi and Autocab, Cordic publishes no public price card — pricing is quote-only, contract terms are multi-year, and operators rarely have visibility on what other Cordic customers are paying. This guide is an honest 2026 perspective on Cordic pricing — what fleet operators actually pay, what is included, where the hidden costs sit, and how Cordic compares to published-price alternatives like TaxiCloud.
1. What Cordic charges in 2026
Cordic pricing is per-vehicle, per-month, on a multi-year contract typically 24-36 months. Across operators we have spoken to in 2025-2026, the typical run-rate is £12-£18 per active vehicle per month for the dispatch console plus driver app, with additional per-driver fees for the customer app, white-label, and compliance reporting modules. A 50-vehicle Cordic fleet typically operates at £900-£1,400 per month all-in including the customer app and one or two compliance modules.
Setup fees vary. Some Cordic contracts include setup as a one-off £2,500-£8,000 charge depending on integration complexity. Others amortise setup into the monthly fee for the first 12 months. Contract escalation clauses are common — typical Cordic contracts include a 4-7% annual price escalation in years 2 and 3 of the multi-year contract.
2. What is included, what is not
Included in the base Cordic licence: dispatch console, driver app, basic customer app, pricing rule engine, integration to one or two booker channels, a base set of compliance reports. Add-on modules are typically separately licensed: white-label customer app branding (£3-£8 per vehicle per month additional), council-licensing report templates beyond the base set (£200-£500 per quarter or amortised monthly), advanced AI auto-dispatch (rule-based, not generative — typically £4-£10 per vehicle per month), and multi-base support (typically a flat £200-£500 per month additional).
Hidden costs: per-driver fees if your fleet has more drivers than active vehicles (typical for shift-share models), per-integration fees for non-standard booker channels, per-API-call fees on some Cordic contracts. The combined effect is that the headline £12-£18 per vehicle figure understates the all-in by typically 30-45% once add-ons and per-driver fees net out.
3. How Cordic compares to TaxiCloud at 2026 prices
TaxiCloud pricing is published: £49/month Starter (up to 5 drivers, no per-vehicle fees), £149/month Pro (up to 25 drivers, AI Copilot included), £349/month Pro Max (up to 100 drivers, multi-base, white-label included), Pro Ultra (custom enterprise). White-label, AI Copilot, council-licensing reports across every UK PHV authority and NTA Ireland SPSV, and the customer app are all included in the published price. No setup fee on Starter or Pro. Month-to-month contracts with one calendar month notice for cancellation.
At 50 vehicles, Cordic's typical all-in run-rate is £900-£1,400 per month. TaxiCloud Pro Max at the same fleet size is £349 per month — 60-75% lower run-rate cost. The difference compounds over the multi-year contract Cordic typically requires versus the month-to-month flexibility of TaxiCloud.
