Head-to-head comparison

Gazoop vs iCabbi — and why TaxiCloud is the modern alternative.

Honest three-way comparison: Gazoop, iCabbi, and TaxiCloud across feature parity, pricing transparency, AI Copilot, and council-licensing compliance for UK + Ireland fleets.

Gazoop and iCabbi are both legacy taxi dispatch software platforms targeting UK and Ireland fleet operators. Gazoop is positioned as low-cost, globally-distributed dispatch platform aimed at small and emerging fleets, with white-label apps and per-driver pricing.. iCabbi is positioned as cloud-dispatch incumbent with deep uk and ireland footprint, broad partner network, and corporate-account depth.. Both are quote-only with multi-year contracts and rule-based auto-dispatch only — neither publishes pricing or ships generative AI in the live dispatch flow. TaxiCloud is the modern operator-grade alternative: published £49–£349/month pricing, AI Copilot, council-licensing reports across every UK PHV authority and NTA Ireland SPSV, white-glove migration from either platform in 6–10 working days.

Frequently asked

Gazoop vs iCabbi, answered.

  • Gazoop vs iCabbi — which is better for UK and Ireland fleets?

    Both Gazoop and iCabbi have strengths and weaknesses; the right choice depends on your fleet's regulatory mix, integration needs, and pricing posture. Gazoop is positioned as low-cost, globally-distributed dispatch platform aimed at small and emerging fleets, with white-label apps and per-driver pricing., iCabbi as cloud-dispatch incumbent with deep uk and ireland footprint, broad partner network, and corporate-account depth.. TaxiCloud is the modern alternative — published £49–£349/month pricing, AI Copilot in live dispatch, council-licensing reports across all UK PHV authorities and NTA Ireland SPSV.

  • Gazoop vs iCabbi — which has better pricing transparency?

    Neither Gazoop nor iCabbi publishes a public price card. Both are quote-only with multi-year contracts. TaxiCloud publishes pricing on the website at £49–£349/month with month-to-month contracts and a 14-day free trial.

  • Can I migrate from Gazoop or iCabbi to TaxiCloud?

    Yes. White-glove migration takes 5 working days from Gazoop and 9 working days from iCabbi. Drivers, vehicles, customers, pricing rules, and historic bookings all import. Available on Pro (£149/month) and above as part of onboarding.

  • Does TaxiCloud handle the same compliance reporting as Gazoop and iCabbi?

    Yes — and more. TaxiCloud generates TfL operator monthly returns, council quarterly returns for every UK PHV authority, NTA Ireland SPSV quarterly returns, and DVA Northern Ireland operator returns. The 2025-updated NTA SPSV format ships pre-configured.

  • What does AI Copilot do that Gazoop and iCabbi don't?

    AI Copilot is generative — it drafts SMS to passengers in their booking language, surfaces explainable assignment recommendations, and pre-positions drivers via event-calendar ingest. Gazoop and iCabbi both run rule-based auto-dispatch only, with no generative AI in the live dispatch flow.
