Top Custom Development Software Companies for Mobility, Delivery & On‑Demand Services

There are two main approaches to choosing the right technology for your mobility, delivery, or on-demand business:

1. Custom software development
2. Ready-made SaaS platforms

Each approach has its strengths and weaknesses depending on your business goals, budget, and timeline. 

Custom development gives you full control and flexibility but comes with higher upfront costs, a longer build time, and a lot of post-launch expenses: you need a strong tech background or in-house developers to maintain and update the software you bought.

SaaS platforms, on the other hand, let you launch quickly with lower initial investment and offer ongoing maintenance and feature updates. However, you're limited by what the platform offers and can rarely add any feature you want.

To help you decide which path fits your business best, here’s a side-by-side comparison:

From custom development to Onde: the case of Stroll

Initially, Stroll hired a custom development company to build their taxi software, but the experience proved to be a failure, falling short in key areas like reliability and support. After this setback, in 2021, the founder of Stroll chose Onde as their platform. This decision marked a major shift. With Onde’s features, strong customer support, and platform stability, Stroll was finally able to scale its customer and driver base.

What to consider when choosing a mobility platform?

1. Stability and reliability

 If you're aiming for fast business growth, stability is key. You can't afford:

• missed bookings,
• delays in real-time location tracking for drivers and riders.

Look for platforms that guarantee uptime of at least 98%. If this information is publicly available on their website and you don’t see complaints about crashes or outages in third-party reviews, that's a great sign. For software development companies, make sure apps are also updated and supported after you get them.

2. Your willingness to handle technical aspects

Ask yourself if you are ready to deal with things like:

• hosting and maintaining the apps
• updating features
• managing backend infrastructure

If not, then you should look for a SaaS solution that takes care of all the technical operations for you, instead of going for a custom development company.

3. Check recent reviews on trusted platforms

Before making a decision, look at recent and verified reviews on sites like G2, Capterra and Gartner Peer Insights. Reviews often reveal real-world problems, such as app crashes, bugs, or poor customer support — issues that are not always visible in marketing materials.

4. Match your platform with your business goal

If your current goal is to grow your passenger base and ride volume, choose a provider that supports app store promotion and marketing services (Meta ads, Google Ads, etc.).

5. Feature set that matches your business needs

Choose software that aligns with the specific features your business requires. You can use this guide to compare and evaluate platforms.

For example, if launching branded mobile apps is critical for you, make sure to choose a provider that includes this as a built-in feature for free.
