This particular price comparison app was conceived as a response to growing complaints that Uber customers have it hard when it comes to finding the best possible price. This is where Urbanhail comes in. The app was developed as part of a [Harvard Business School](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Artificial-muscle-materials) project among a group of students. This price comparison app takes disruptive business to the next level by allowing customers to compare prices between an already disruptive and innovative service -- Uber -- and its competitors, allowing for unprecedented customer power when it comes to price-saving. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Price Comparison Apps:** Price comparison apps can be used to compare prices between competitors, providing customers with the best possible deals. - **Ride Hailing Competition:** As ride hailing apps continue to proliferate, businesses that foster competition among these services can benefit greatly. - **Customer-empowering Apps:** Apps that grant customers unprecedented power when it comes to decision-making can be incredibly disruptive and beneficial to businesses. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Ride Hailing:** Ride hailing services can benefit from the development of price comparison apps that increase competition among their competitors. - **Technology:** Developers in the technology industry can leverage disruptive innovation opportunities provided by the development of price comparison and customer-empowering apps. - **Business Education:** Business educators can encourage students to develop innovative price comparison and customer-empowering apps that create significant value for customers and businesses alike. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Rideshare Spend Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ubestory.md) - [Flexible User-Centric Rideshares](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/careem-1.md) - [Ride Share Profit Calculations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/worththeryde.md) - [Aggregated On-Demand Service Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/finishd-app.md) - [iOS-Influenced Travel Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-2.md) - [Prepaid Rideshare Passes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-prepaid-passes.md) - [Ride-Hailing App Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-and-turo.md) - [Convenience-Focused Transportation Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transportation-apps.md) - [Car Rental Expanses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-rent.md)
