“Why sell your dispatch software to a thousand customers, when you can give it away to a million?” With over 6 million drivers worldwide, we believe that dispatching technology can be made more affordable than any system out there. Donation-based for drivers, with optional plans for dispatchers. Together build the world’s largest independent driver community. Gathered in private groups. The more drivers you invite to join, the more you empower us to help drivers around the globe. Our platform technology facilitates cooperation amongst independent drivers by helping them to join forces in private groups and together be successful in servicing customers in their local market. The free app enables you to connect with your network of drivers straight from your phone contact list. Within minutes you are able to see who’s available and dispatch your first jobs based on availability at the entered pickup location. The app registers all relevant information regarding pickup and drop-off times and actual route. YourDriverApp is not a brand that targets passengers. We simply supply drivers with the technology that can help them to better service their customers. We will never compete for – or stand in between – drivers and passengers.

Both are free to download. YourDriverApp sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Octopus asks for nothing beyond the download.
Octopus holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.0.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
