PairMee vs Yango
Yango shows a fixed price before you order. What it cannot change is who pays it: 1 ride, 1 payer, the full fare. PairMee matches you with people going the same way, so whatever supplies the taxi, the fare divides.

The honest verdict
Yango's upfront pricing tells you exactly what the ride costs before you order. What it cannot change is who pays it: 1 ride, 1 payer, the full fare. PairMee attacks the other side of the equation by matching you with people going the same way, so whatever app or stand supplies the taxi, the fare divides. Use Yango for the car, PairMee for the people.
