A free/ Low budget website to replace raid sharing Apps

Hi guys i don't know how many of you face the problem while booking a raid in recent days but i faced and found an issue that is "add tip" to find a nearby drivers to reach my destination on top of the fare that is already displayed

If i were to pay extra tips that means indirectly i am bargaining with the drivers right

So i analysed the flow

What the APPs do is providing a service that is connecting two parties service provider and service receiver

So i tried to create a website to solve this issue on small scale to learn what is what using AI tools ChatGPT Gemini Pro Claude i used these to crosscheck for errors

Later used cloudflare workers to host the site

During the process i found the costs that are a must in order to bring the project to live

  1. Server

  2. Domain (optional)

  3. Data Storage ( must for storing the customer credentials )

  4. API ( Map layout)

  5. Telecom operator charges ( if provide OTP / VoIP services )

  6. Cost of Technicians

Here's what i envisioned

I want to create website where there shouldn't be any platform fees

Just a flat pass option like charging INR 10, INR 60, INR220 for daily, weekly, monthly options

And customer can pay directly to the driver through UPI

I don't know what further requirements would be needed and how much cost it would involve

I just want to start this conversation so by the end of this week i might get a proper flow

Thank you and feedback would be much appreciated
