What is a Lyft Clone?
A Lyft clone is a rideshare app modelled on Lyft — a friendly, safety-first ride-hailing service with a rider app, a driver app and an admin panel, plus scheduled rides, in-app tipping and ride modes such as shared, standard and XL. Joldisoft builds it under your brand for the US, Canada or any market.

Shared & XL modes
Shared rides for lower fares, XL for groups, plus premium tiers.
Safety toolkit

Lyft Clone questions, answered
Still unsure? Ask us directly.
How much does it cost to build an app like Lyft?
+
A white-label Lyft-style app starts at $3,000 and launches in 2–3 weeks. A custom MVP with your own design starts at $10,000 over 8–12 weeks. Larger builds with fleet management or corporate accounts are quoted on scope.
What is the difference between a Lyft clone and an Uber clone?
+
The core is the same — rider, driver, admin. A Lyft clone puts more weight on tipping, scheduled rides, shared rides and the safety toolkit, and is usually styled for the North American market.
Does the Lyft clone support driver background checks?
+
Yes. Drivers upload licence, insurance and vehicle documents, and the admin approves them in a verification queue. Integration with a third-party background-check provider is available as an add-on.
Can riders split the fare?
+
Fare splitting between riders is available as an add-on to the standard build.
Do I get the source code?
+
Yes. Source code is handed over on the MVP and Enterprise packages; the white-label package includes a licence for your brand.
Do I own the source code of my Lyft clone?
+
Yes. On the MVP and Enterprise packages the full source code of every app, the API and the admin panel is handed over to you. White-label includes a perpetual licence for your brand.
Will the app show Joldisoft's branding?
+
No. Every app, the admin panel and the store listings carry only your name, logo and colours.
Do you publish the apps on Google Play and the App Store?
+
Yes, under your own developer accounts. We prepare the listing, screenshots and privacy details and handle review feedback.
Where is the platform hosted?
+
On your own server or cloud account (AWS, DigitalOcean or a VPS). We set it up, configure SSL, backups and monitoring, and hand over the credentials.
What support do I get after launch?
+
Bug fixes for 30 days on White-label and 90 days on MVP, then optional monthly maintenance for updates, OS upgrades and new features.
Is it legal to build an app like Lyft?
+
Yes. A business model and features cannot be owned. We never use Lyft's name, logo, artwork or code — your app has its own brand and our own codebase.
Launch your Lyft Clone in weeks, not years.
Your brand, your servers, your source code. Fixed price from $3,000.
