Learn the Business and Revenue Model of Uber-like App

Ever since the launch of Uber, there are startups and developers taking inspiration from this business model. The Uber-like app is known for booking any rental service immediately — on-demand.

But ever wondered the revenue and business model of the Uber-like apps? Let’s find out in this blog.

Business Model

The uber business model has 3 main user groups:

Owners: They are the on-demand platform owners and bring together both the service-provider and service-needed persons in the one place.

Service Providers: They provide service to the users and gain a commission.

End-users: They are the users who come into the platform to rent the service.

The sequence of the App function

The workflow of End-user app

  • End-users sign into the app and fill their personal details.
  • To book a service, the end-users give their current location.
  • The app searches for nearby providers to a particular radius around the user.
  • The app books a provider for the user.
  • The provider visits the user’s location and does the service he was assigned.
  • After the end of satisfactory service, gets the pay.

The workflow of Service Provider

  • The provider registers into the platform using a mobile number or email.
  • Switches to online mode to find a service.
  • The app allocates an end-user to their nearby current location.
  • The provider goes to the end-user given location and completes their job assigned.
  • Payment is done to the provider by the user.

This is a simple scenario of the working of an Uber business model.

Revenue Model

Uber clone script charges a small commission from both the passenger and service providers.

Small Commission Fee from Passengers: For each ride, passengers are charged with a small commission fee to use their service.

Small Commission Fee from service providers: For each ride, a commission is charged based on the city of operation and the type of car.

Surge Pricing: When the demand gets higher, they charge a commission higher than the regular.

Ads revenueWhether it is in-app ads or display ads on cabs or anywhere near posters, they earn their revenue through ad-sponsored companies.
