Mobility app development

TheCheatCode designs mobility apps for iOS and Android: rider app, driver app, matching and shared rides. We built RideLuv, which matches riders based on shared interests, with a dedicated app for drivers. One team handles product, design, development and launch on the stores.

Your questions about building a mobility app.

How much does a mobility app cost?

The price depends on the scope: number of screens, user accounts, payments, admin back office and integrations. For a mobility app, the number of apps (rider, driver, admin) and payment all affect the budget. The most reliable approach is to start from what you actually need. Our online estimate helps you scope it in a few minutes, then we get back to you with a detailed quote.

Do you need two apps, one for riders and one for drivers?

Most of the time, yes: the uses are very different. That is why RideLuv has a rider app and a driver app, connected to the same service.

How does matching work?

It relies on rules tailored to your service: route, time, available seats, or shared interests as with RideLuv. We define them with you from the scoping stage.

Can we launch in a single city first?

That is often the best approach: a first version focused on the essentials, tested in one area, then expanded based on feedback.

Native or cross-platform for a mobility app?

Cross-platform (React Native, Expo) lets you launch on both stores with a single codebase. That is the choice we made for RideLuv.
