## What is Up Hail?

Taxi & Rideshare Comparison Engine.

"The 11 most useful web tools of 2014", Mashable

“Up Hail does for taxi services what so many websites have done for other travel costs — compares them in real time to find the best deal. You can figure out whether Uber or Lyft is cheaper for that ride to the airport, if there are SUVs or vans available for a group, or if there’s any surge pricing that will leave you with rider’s regret in the morning.”, Mashable

“Up Hail is as simple as you’d want it to be: Enter your origin and your destination, press the button, and voilá: Up Hail lets you know how much, approximately, your ride will cost with each of these two major ride-sharing services.”, VentureBeat

"We've all been there before. How much will the taxi cost? Can it fit all of us? Is there an Uber around? Up Hail has come around to solve all those questions.", Benzinga

"Up Hail Takes The Guess Work Out Of Uber And Lyft", TechFaster

"It’s also given us Lyft vs. Uber – two really excellent car service apps in a bit of an ugly fight to be the best in their field. Here to make that fight a little uglier (but prettier for you) is Up Hail – a beautifully simple price-comparison site.", Netted, by the Webby's

## Key features

- Compare rideshare prices

### 5/5 — Fantastic app!

*2020-06-28, version 2.2*

Highly recommended

### 5/5 — Saves me money

*2019-01-15, version 2.2*

Uphail is one of the best apps for saving money in the ride hailing industry. With Uphail, I see estimates on ride hailing products before booking my trip. This saves me time and money.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2018-09-14, version 2.2*

Great concept, love how easy it is. You simply put in your destination and the app suggests the cheapest route.

### 1/5 — Wish it would actually work

*2018-07-04, version 2.2*

This is a great concept, but every time I’ve tried it, I just get a spinning wheel. I’ve attempted to use it in many different cities with the same result (none). Not sure if the developers just abandoned the app. Unfortunately, this one is getting deleted.

### 5/5 — I’ve saved so much money and time!

*2018-03-30, version 2.2*

This app helps me easily compare Uber and Lyft prices. I usually go back and forth between apps but I don’t anymore. Great app.

### 1/5 — Doesn't really work

*2017-09-28, version 2.2*

I can't dispatch any of the cars. Too many ads.  Taxi button doesn't work. Only Lyft?

Provides way too little info for it to be useful.

### 5/5 — Fantastic App

*2016-10-04, version 2.2*

I love this App because it allows me to easily comparison shop and get the best price possible.  Anything that helps me get what I want while saving me money is a winner.

### 5/5 — That was easy

*2016-09-24, version 2.2*

My main issue is usually trying to run Lyft and Uber simultaneously while walking to a cab line at the airport -- free app that does all that for me? Yes please. 

Coverage seems to differ based on geo, but that fits with what I normally run into manually querying.

### 1/5 — Only shows lyft

*2016-08-18, version 2.2*

I just tried it, and it only showed Lyft prices. Really???!!

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2016-05-24, version 2.2*

GreAt. Thanks!!!
