Both KAIRO and Dever are built for UK chauffeur operators. They come from different eras of software and make different trade-offs. This page lays them side by side so you can judge on the dimensions that matter to your business.
Installed base. If every dispatcher you have ever hired has used Dever, training cost is near zero.
Depth of desktop workflow. Keyboard-driven power users can fly through Dever faster than any cloud tool.
A back-catalogue of integrations built over many years.
Cloud-native, mobile-first dispatch. Every user is live on the same board in real time. No LAN syncs, no nightly backups to remember.
AI in the foundation. Dispatch suggestions, bank statement categorisation, expense matching, client-history recall, invoicing automation — not as plugins, but as core behaviour.
A free native driver app. Push notifications, live GPS, turn-by-turn navigation, meet-and-greet check-in, signature capture. iOS and Android.
Modern accounting. Two-way Xero sync on the Scale plan. Stripe payment links on every plan. Automated chasing of overdue invoices.
Pricing transparency. £79 / £159 / £239, monthly rolling, no per-seat fees, no activation charges, no tiers hidden behind sales calls.
Dispatch: Dever is desktop-first; KAIRO is browser + mobile. Cloud sync matters if you have multiple dispatchers or a remote dispatcher, which most luxury operators now do.
Driver app: Dever driver apps are third-party; KAIRO ships a first-party native app free on every plan.
Accounting: Dever exports to Sage and Xero via file; KAIRO syncs to Xero two-way, live, on the Scale plan.
Bank reconciliation: Dever imports CSV; KAIRO adds AI categorisation and auto-matching to your job ledger.
Partner network: Dever has no native marketplace; KAIRO includes a partner marketplace on Growth and above.
CSV export from Dever, CSV import into KAIRO’s onboarding wizard. Map columns once. Jobs, clients, tariffs, drivers, vehicles, and historical invoices move in a single session. Most three-year migrations complete in under 45 minutes. Run both in parallel for a week if confidence requires it, then sunset.
Questions
All data is encrypted at rest and in transit. UK/EU hosting, Supabase-backed. You own your data. CSV export is available at any time, even post-cancellation, for 90 days.
Feature requests from real operators get prioritised and shipped fast — typically within days, not quarters. KAIRO is maintained by a working chauffeur operator, so the feedback loop is short.
Export your data as CSV at any time. KAIRO does not lock you in. The partner marketplace, driver app, and integrations are not proprietary walled gardens.
Three months free. No credit card. Import a CSV, invite one driver, run a real booking. Leave if it isn’t right.
