CARPOOLIN

Carpoolin acknowledges that this kind of service does not lend itself to generating a lot of money.

​On top of that, how do you continue making anything from Users that share a car ride together and talk to one another?

This is the core of why I think a service like Carpoolin doesn't exist.

Good thing I'm looking to play the long game, one that builds a brighter future for the people that use it.

The App's base model is something similar to what you see on Spotify or Youtube.

You have full access to the App and all of its features, plus no Ads!

​

Premium

Some features are capped the following are perks of a Premium account.

• Ability to list more Trips

• Ability to send more Trip requests per day

• No message limit on your inbox

• Ability to add Favourite Users

• And increased map refresh limits

This goes for $30/six months.

Paid Trips

We also handle payments through the App, if you choose to list Paid Trips.

​

To handle this we're going with a Wallet feature.

 

The reason for this is to reduce fees for Users who prefer this.

​​We will be deducting fees from these transactions;

1. A Gateway Merchant fee
   5% for regular Users 2.5% for Premium

2. An App fee
   2.8% for regular and 1% for Premium

We might open up a channel directly for donations, but for now we'll continue with the options above.

If it's not obvious I'm trying to keep costs low, but also juggle the overhead costs of continued development and maintaining the thing.
