The Ground Alliance alternative without trip allowances to watch
Ground Alliance sells flat monthly plans banded by trip count, which is already fairer than per-trip billing. The question is what happens at the top of a band, and what arrives with the plan when it does.
LimoSphere is an alternative to Ground Alliance for chauffeur and limousine operators. Ground Alliance publishes flat plans banded by monthly trip allowance, starting around $99 a month for 300 trips and rising through several tiers, with passenger mobile apps arriving on its top tier. LimoSphere publishes plans from $0 to $499+ a month banded by active chauffeurs and ride volume, with the passenger app from $249, white-label apps on Empire, your own Stripe account and Gnet affiliate farm-outs.
What Ground Alliance does well
Ground Alliance made the right call on billing: flat plans with generous trip allowances and unlimited users and chauffeurs, rather than metering every booking. Its QuickBooks integration and reporting stack are solid, and it is well priced for operators whose volume sits comfortably inside a band.

Four things that change the week after you switch
No allowance to keep one eye on
Trip-banded plans still make you watch a counter, and the month you cross the line is usually your best month. LimoSphere tiers on active chauffeurs and ride volume with generous headroom, so a strong week is just a strong week.
The passenger app arrives in the middle of the range
A branded booking app should not be reserved for the top of a price list. LimoSphere includes it from the $249 Scale plan and white-labels it on Empire, so a mid-sized fleet gets the app that wins corporate accounts without buying enterprise.
Your own Stripe account, your own rate
Payments run through your Stripe account at your negotiated rate, with chauffeur payouts through Stripe Connect and an earnings dashboard in the chauffeur app. The processing relationship is yours, not the platform's.
Gnet reach across 60+ countries
Farm-in and farm-out live on the dispatch board with partner rates and live status sync, so overflow work and out-of-area requests both have somewhere to go without leaving the system.
Moving off Ground Alliance without losing a trip
Nobody switches dispatch software because they enjoy it. The migration is guided end to end, and your old system keeps running until the last trip on its board is finished.
We map what you run today
Rate cards, vehicle types, corporate accounts, the surcharges you actually apply — captured before anything moves.
We move your data
Customers, vehicles, rates and every upcoming reservation are migrated for you. You do not export spreadsheets.
You run both for a week
New bookings land in LimoSphere while the old system finishes the trips already on its board. Nothing is at risk.
You switch the phone over
Dispatchers, chauffeurs and your booking site move across, and the old subscription gets cancelled — not before.
LimoSphere vs Ground Alliance — questions operators ask
Ground Alliance publishes flat plans banded by monthly trip allowance, beginning around $99 a month for 300 trips with unlimited users and chauffeurs, rising through several tiers to an Unlimited plan that adds passenger mobile apps without overages. LimoSphere publishes flat plans at $0, $29, $129, $249 and $499+ a month banded by active chauffeurs and ride volume, with the passenger app from the $249 Scale plan.
On LimoSphere the passenger app is part of the Scale plan at $249 a month, and the Empire plan publishes it fully white-labelled under your own name in the App Store and Google Play. You do not have to reach the top of the price list to put a booking app in your customers' hands.
No. The LimoSphere team moves your customers, vehicle types, rate cards and upcoming reservations, and both systems run in parallel through a cutover week so no booked trip is exposed. Most operators are dispatching from LimoSphere within days.
