Fusion Link vs. Cabubble

They sell you the work. We run it.

Cabubble is on this page because it competes for the same money, not because it does the same job. It brings bookings from its own site, its apps, travel affiliates and corporate clients, and charges a commission on each one. It waives its start-up fee for operators already running two of the dispatch systems compared here. Fusion Link is the system the work lands in, at a flat fee per completed job.

Fusion Link

AED1.40 per completed job, whoever sent it to you. No commission, no share of the fare.

CB
Cabubble

Published fees: £395 start-up, waived for Autocab and iCabbi customers; no monthly subscription. 8.8% on a cash fare from their own channels, or 1.2% + 20p on card. 30p a booking through the white-label engine. Card fares settle straight to the operator.

01 — Why operators switch

The reasons that come up every time.

They are not an alternative — they are a source

A booking Cabubble sends you still has to be priced, dispatched, driven, proved and invoiced. Fusion Link is where that happens, whether the job arrives from a supplier system, your own booking site, a corporate portal, the email inbox, a spreadsheet, or by hand.

A commission scales with your prices

Cabubble takes 8.8% of a cash fare from its own channels. On a £200 airport job that is £17.60 for the introduction. Fusion Link never takes a percentage of what your client pays.

Your own booking site takes no cut at all

Every operator on Fusion Link gets a branded booking site on their own domain, and the client pays into the operator's own Stripe account. Work you win yourself carries the job fee and nothing else.

The proof and the books

Fusion Link stamps pickup photos with time, GPS and a verification code, and posts every invoice and payment as a journal entry. A booking channel answers neither question — that is not what it is for.

Cabubble does not name the UAE on its own pages, so it sits outside that market's table on the comparison hub. Takes UK taxi and private-hire firms only — it lists UK cities and a UK government supplier appointment. The bookings it sends them can come from travellers anywhere.

When Cabubble is the right call

An operator who needs more work rather than better software. Cabubble is a demand channel with real reach and a clear published price, it holds no card fare at any time, and it asks for no credit. If your problem is empty cars on a Tuesday, a commission on a job you would not otherwise have run is a fair trade, and Fusion Link has nothing equivalent on the consumer side.

Where it breaks for modern operators

It is not a system of record. Their published pages describe no dispatch board, no driver app, no proof capture and no accounting, so the work still needs somewhere to live. The commission also applies to their own channels' bookings for as long as you take them.

03 — FAQ

Common questions.

Do I have to choose between Cabubble and Fusion Link?

No, and most operators would not. Cabubble sends you work; Fusion Link is where the work is run and billed. The honest comparison is between their commission and what the same job costs you through your own booking site, which carries the flat job fee and nothing else.

Can Fusion Link bring me bookings the way Cabubble does?

Not from a consumer channel of our own, and we will not pretend otherwise. What Fusion Link opens is your own booking site on your own domain, corporate portals for your account clients, and the supplier systems you already hold logins for. Those are your relationships, not ours.

Do I have to sign a contract?

No. Fusion Link bills per completed job from a prepaid wallet. You can stop using it any day and owe nothing.

Can I keep my existing clients and branding?

Yes. You get a booking site on your own domain with your logo. We never touch your client relationship.

How long does setting up take?

Minutes, not a migration project. Your operator account, branded booking site, and driver invites all run from one place.
