Home › Fab in the USA
Fab is the rideshare comparison app built for exactly this: you link your Uber, Lyft, Empower and Waymo accounts once, and for every trip Fab asks each app for its price at that moment. Your real fares, side by side, sorted cheapest first. You have the final say on the booking.
Riding in the US usually means the same ritual: open Uber, check the price, open Lyft, check again, give up and pick one. Now add Empower undercutting both in a growing list of cities, and Waymo running driverless in four metros, and the ritual becomes four apps long. Fab replaces it with one screen: enter your pickup and destination, and the apps you have linked answer with their real price for that exact trip, surge and promotions included.
The prices are yours, not averages: Fab reads them from your own accounts, so a promo on your Lyft profile or your Uber One discount is already in the number you compare. Then you tap the offer you want and Fab hands you to that app with the trip filled in. Fab is independent, takes no commission and never marks a price up.

Uber and Lyft cover most of the country, so almost every US trip is already a two-way comparison. The interesting part is where a third or fourth player joins the list.
Nationwide, from New York to Honolulu. Same streets, often the same drivers, rarely the same price: the gap between the two on one trip is the first thing Fab makes visible.
Washington DC, New York, Miami, Atlanta, Baltimore, Dallas and Houston. Drivers subscribe to the platform instead of paying a commission per ride, and that model often shows in the fare.
The driverless robotaxi, in Phoenix, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Austin. Fab puts its price next to the human-driven options so you can decide with numbers.
Each duel has its own logic. We wrote them up separately.

Four so far: Uber, Lyft, Empower and Waymo. You link the accounts you have, and for every trip Fab asks each of them for its price at that moment, then lines the offers up cheapest first. You pick one and book in that app.
Often, but not always. Empower runs a different model: drivers pay a subscription instead of a commission on each ride, which tends to translate into lower fares. The honest answer is that it depends on the trip and the moment, and that is exactly what Fab shows you: the three real prices side by side, from your own accounts.
Anywhere Uber and Lyft overlap, which is most of the country. The comparison gets even richer where a third player operates: Empower in Washington DC, New York, Miami, Atlanta, Baltimore, Dallas and Houston, and the Waymo robotaxi in Phoenix, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Austin.
Yes. In the cities where Waymo operates, Fab shows the robotaxi's price next to Uber, Lyft and Empower for your exact trip. It is the simplest way to know whether the driverless option is also the cheapest one before you book. See more questions →
