Cheapswitch app switches rideshare drivers on-the-fly to Uber Or Lyft rates while ride is in progress
The new Cheapswitch app flips between Uber and Lyft on the fly while a ride is in progress, offering consumers the lowest rates in real time.
The new app is a response to rider frustration in constantly trying to figure out if Uber or Lyft has the cheaper rate for their particular ride.
Switching between the two apps on-the-fly depending on which app offers the lowest rate in real-time gives riders the cheapest overall total amount. At the end of the ride, it bills the rider once for Lyft and once for Uber, showing the total amount on the final screen.
