SAN FRANCISCO, CA – February 2, 2026 – Payfair (https://payfair.cash), a new rideshare price comparison platform, today announced the public launch of its free fare estimation tool that allows consumers to instantly compare Uber and Lyft prices before booking a ride.
The platform addresses a growing consumer pain point: with dynamic pricing algorithms causing rideshare fares to fluctuate by as much as 300% during peak demand, riders often overpay simply because they don’t check alternatives. Payfair’s Uber fare estimate and Lyft price estimate tools display real-time pricing from multiple services simultaneously, enabling users to select the most affordable option.
“Riders shouldn’t have to open five different apps to find the best price,” said the Payfair development team. “Our Uber pricing estimation tool shows you exactly what each service will charge for the same trip, in seconds. When you compare Uber and Lyft prices side by side, the savings become immediately obvious.”
Key Platform Features:
• Instant Uber Fare Estimates: Get accurate Uber pricing estimation for any route without opening the Uber app
• Real-Time Lyft Price Estimates: Compare Lyft price estimates against other services instantly
• Multi-Stop Route Support: Calculate fares for complex trips with multiple destinations
• Surge Detection: Identify when Uber surge pricing or Lyft Prime Time is active
• 20+ Language Support: Full localization for international travelers
According to internal data, users who compare Uber and Lyft prices before booking save an average of 15-25% per ride. For frequent riders taking 10+ trips monthly, this translates to annual savings of $400-$800.
The Uber fare estimate functionality works by aggregating publicly available pricing data and route calculations, providing consumers with the same information they would see in the native apps—but consolidated into a single interface. The Lyft price estimate feature operates similarly, allowing true apples-to-apples comparison.
“Dynamic pricing means there’s no single ‘cheapest’ rideshare service,” the team explained. “Uber pricing estimation might show $15 for a trip while the Lyft price estimate shows $25—but an hour later, those numbers could reverse. The only way to consistently save money is to compare Uber and Lyft prices every single time.”
The platform launches amid increasing consumer frustration with rideshare pricing transparency. A 2025 survey found that 67% of riders felt “uncertain” about whether they were getting fair prices, and 78% said they would use a comparison tool if one were freely available.
Payfair is available immediately at https://payfair.cash with no registration required. The platform is free to use and does not collect personal data beyond anonymous usage analytics.
