Comparison · Santa Cruz Software
⚡ Quick answer · 10-second read
Operators looking past legacy limo reservation suites usually want three things: dispatch that opens in a browser from anywhere, apps that look current to passengers and drivers, and pricing that does not scale by user seat. Fleetora delivers all three — a web dispatch console with unlimited dispatcher logins, white-label passenger and driver apps on the App Store and Google Play, and fleet-size pricing from $299 a month with 0% commission. Reservations, quoting, corporate accounts, driver payouts and invoicing are in one platform, and migration imports your existing customers, accounts, drivers and upcoming reservations by CSV.

Because the cost is no longer only the licence. Desktop-bound dispatch limits where your team can work, dated passenger apps lose repeat riders to marketplace apps, and seat-based pricing penalises growth. A browser-based platform with branded apps removes all three constraints at once.
Yes, as first-class job types rather than workarounds. Hourly minimums, as-directed jobs, garage-to-garage billing, multi-day assignments, multi-stop itineraries and vehicle-class tariffs are all native, which matters for executive and corporate chauffeur programmes.
Training is typically a half day. The console layout follows the flow dispatchers already use — pending jobs, live map, driver status — so most teams are comfortable within a shift. Onboarding runs your tariff and zones before go-live, so day one uses your own pricing.
Yes. Confirmations and receipts are templated under your brand with your contact details.
Yes. Onboarding includes dispatcher and driver training sessions in every plan.
