Ti serve un taxi? Premi il pulsante di BTaxi e chiamerai il tuo taxi nel modo più semplice possibile. Attenzione: BTaxi è utilizzabile, al momento, ad Alessandria, Torino, Empoli, Bologna e Barcellona BTaxi nasce dall’esigenza, sempre più sentita dai clienti che utilizzano il taxi come mezzo di trasporto abituale, di ridurre i tempi di richiesta di un taxi, di avere a priori una stima sul costo della corsa e di trovare soddisfazione dal punto di vista della facilità dell’esperienza d’uso. Cosa consente di fare: - Preventivazione costo della corsa sulla base delle tariffe comunali in vigore, della geolocalizzazione e dell’inserimento della destinazione. - Premendo il pulsante nella schermata Home verrà inviata la richiesta e in pochi secondi si otterrà la conferma che prevede la ricezione del numero della corsa, della sigla e della licenza del taxi in arrivo e del tempo di attesa. Segui l’arrivo del tuo taxi visualizzando la distanza da te costantemente aggiornata, oppure sulla mappa. La conferma del taxi in arrivo avviene con una notifica, con l’applicazione aperta oppure chiusa. - Il taxi può essere pagato in diversi modi. Oltre ai contanti, è possibile pagare con carta di credito direttamente da BTaxi o per gli abbonati attraverso l’inserimento del codice abbonato, che permetterà a fine corsa di addebitare l’importo direttamente su un conto virtuale per essere poi fatturato a fine mese con il riepilogo delle corse effettuate.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: BTaxi at none against URBI's shown. BTaxi also leads on ratings volume (274 vs 10) and rating (4.4 vs 4.2). URBI's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
BTaxi holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BTaxi has 274 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of URBI's written reviews are positive against 51% of BTaxi's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
URBI ships an update every 3 weeks, BTaxi every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 4, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
