Join the central · not your own platform

TaxiCloud is the platform a French fleet runs itself, where G7 is a network it joins. G7 is the dominant Paris taxi central — around 10,000 affiliated drivers and 33 million passengers a year — but it does not sell a dispatch-software product to other operators. Affiliating means routing your bookings, brand, and rider relationship through G7. TaxiCloud is the opposite: your own branded app, dispatch console, AI Copilot, and data.

Where the G7 network still wins

G7's strength is liquidity and brand. A century-plus of operation under Groupe Rousselet, roughly 10,000 affiliated Paris drivers, a large green fleet, and deep corporate and government contracts make it the default taxi central in Paris. For an individual driver, affiliating with G7 is a rational way to access that demand. But G7 is a closed in-house central, not a platform another operator can license or white-label — the technology is proprietary and internal, there is no operator self-onboarding or public API tier, and the booking carries G7's brand, not the operator's.

Why run your own platform instead of joining G7

TaxiCloud is built so the operator owns the stack. It ships a white-label rider app and booking widget under the fleet's own brand, a full dispatch console with a generative AI Copilot that ranks reassignments and explains them in plain French or English, and operator-controlled pricing and zones. License class is a dispatch attribute: taxis (ADS) keep the metered tariff and the right to street hails and ranks, while VTCs stay on prior reservation in line with the Registre VTC and the carte professionnelle — handled in one console.

G7 affiliation vs owning your TaxiCloud platform

The honest framing is not feature-versus-feature, because G7 does not sell a competing product. It is a choice of model: join G7's network and depend on its brand and demand, or run your own platform and own the rider relationship, the data, and the brand. Some fleets do both — keep a presence on aggregators for incremental demand while operating their regulars and corporate accounts on their own TaxiCloud platform with published, month-to-month pricing and a self-serve trial.

G7 alternative FAQ

G7 alternative — taxi dispatch software questions answered.

Does G7 sell dispatch software I can compare to TaxiCloud feature by feature?: No. G7 is a taxi network and booking brand that affiliates independent drivers — it does not sell a dispatch-software product to other fleets. The honest comparison is a choice of model: join G7's central and depend on its brand and demand, or run your own TaxiCloud platform and own the rider relationship, data and brand.
Why would a Paris fleet run TaxiCloud instead of affiliating with G7?: To own its platform. TaxiCloud gives a fleet its own branded rider app, a dispatch console with a generative AI Copilot, and operator-controlled pricing, zones and data — handling the taxi (ADS) and VTC distinction with Registre VTC and carte professionnelle awareness. Affiliating with G7 means routing bookings, brand and rider data through the network instead.
Can I keep some G7 demand and still run my own platform?: Often, yes. Many operators keep a presence on networks and aggregators for incremental street demand while running their regulars and corporate accounts on their own TaxiCloud platform. The difference is ownership — published pricing, your own brand, and your own data rather than the network's.
Does TaxiCloud handle the French taxi (ADS) vs VTC rules?: Yes. License class is a dispatch attribute: taxis keep the metered tariff and street-hail rights, VTCs stay on prior reservation per the loi Grandguillaume and the Registre VTC, with carte professionnelle tracking — all in one French-language console.
