Yango launches as the cheapest ride hailing app in Nepal

A new ride-sharing app is here in Nepal with the cheapest fare rate. Yes, you heard that right, we have now Yango being launched here in a trial phase. It’s a tech ecosystem that offers ride sharing, e-grocery, maps, and delivery services in over 30 countries. Here in this article, we’ll talk about the Yango App and its services in general.

Yango App Overview:

About Yango

Originating as a brand under Yandex Taxi, Yango has evolved into an independent tech ecosystem headquartered in Dubai. Operating in over 30 countries across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia, Yango offers a range of services, including ride-hailing, delivery, and digital solutions.

And to bring it here in Nepal, taximandu and Yangoi have entered into a partnership. Arjun KC, Managing Director of Taximandu, said, “The experience of international technology will now be available to Nepali passengers and drivers as well.”

A New Player with Promo Offers

Yango’s entry into Nepal introduces a fresh competitor to established services like Pathao and InDrive. Leveraging its global experience, Yango plans to collaborate with local taxi operators and drivers and provide the cheapest fare to customers. As part of the promotional offer, bike rides are available at a minimum of 40 rupees and taxi rides at NPR 180, during this soft launch. Not to worry, riders are also getting a bonus scheme. In fact, only a 3% commission rate is levied for the next three years.

For Drivers: Yango offers a low commission rate of around 3% per ride, much lower than competitors, to attract drivers, along with special launch bonuses. Drivers are paid weekly, depending on their local partner.
For Riders: Yango keeps fares competitive by taking its revenue from driver commissions. Riders benefit from upfront fare estimates, ensuring pricing transparency.

Features of Yango

Like every other ride-sharing app, Yango also works pretty much the same. Here are some features of this app:

Real-Time Tracking: Passengers can monitor their rides in real-time, enhancing transparency.
Transparent Pricing: The app provides upfront fare estimates, ensuring clarity for passengers.
Display Traffic: This app can also show the en route traffic, just like Google Maps, to plan your route and schedule accordingly.
Safety Features: Yango says it has included 20 safety features to ensure the safety of both passengers and drivers.

Can Yango App Compete?

Nepal’s ride-sharing market is rapidly growing, led by platforms like Pathao, inDrive, Tootle, and JumJum. Pathao offers ride-sharing, food delivery, and parcel services across major cities, while inDrive has become the most downloaded app in the country with its unique fare negotiation model between drivers and passengers.

And Yango is making its debut in Nepal’s ride-hailing sector with a strategy centered on offering a notably low commission rate—around 3%—to attract drivers, which could result in better ride availability and more affordable pricing for users. Setting itself apart from competitors, Yango provides upfront fare estimates, offering a straightforward and transparent alternative to InDrive’s bargaining-based model and Pathao’s fluctuating pricing.

While rivals like Pathao and InDrive have already built extensive networks and expanded into services like deliveries, Yango is focusing solely on ride-hailing, aiming to establish itself through driver-friendly incentives and a simplified pricing approach. And with the cheaper rates, Yango can penetrate quite well into a price-sensitive market like Nepal. Only if it could retain the same after its trial/promo period!

Tootle Pro is a subscription model for saving on ride commisions

Tootle is Nepal’s first ride-hailing app, launched way back in 2017. Despite doing well in the beginning days, Pathao entered the competition, followed by Indrive, bringing tough competition to this Nepali service. But Tootle is doing all it can to get back in the scene. Now, we have the Tootle Pro, a subscription-based model for its fellow riders. Here in this article, we’ll talk about all the details about Tootle Pro and its benefits for the riders.

Tootle Pro Overview:

About Tootle

Before heading in, let me give a small intro about Tootle. As aforementioned, Tootle was launched in 2017, when the ride-sharing concept was still fresh as a sprout. It marked wide public attention, as using the taxi service was not feasible for a commoner, as the charges were just too high—even for a short distance. Tootle saw this opportunity and entered right through, providing an excellent alternative to book a ride at a much cheaper cost and just reach your destination even quicker by bike.

Things were running quite cool until the arrival of Pathao in 2018, which rigorously marketed itself to garner more customers. Then, inDriver (currently inDrive) landed here, bashing its way with a superinteresting option— “Bargaining”. And Tootle had to vanish from the scene until 2023, when it emerged again. Since then, the revival game has been going on. And now we have the Tootle Pro model, which we’ll be talking about below.

Tootle Pro, a Subscription model

So, what exactly is Tootle Pro? Well, it’s a subscription-based model for its riders. By subscribing to this service, riders won’t have to pay commission, at least for 28 days. Tootle is offering an introductory subscription fee of NPR 499 for bike riders and NPR 999 for the cab drivers. Just pay that amount and drivers can retain their ride earnings, however, it excludes standard insurance and TDS deductions.

Plan	Standard Rate	Introductory Rate	Validity
Bike Riders	NPR 999	NPR 499	28 days
Cab Drivers	NPR 1,999	NPR 999	28 days

Once the subscription period concludes, riders have the option to either renew their plan or switch back to the standard commission model. Which is 15% for bike rides and 12% for the taxi ride. Tootle states that this initiative is designed to provide more predictable earnings and improved transparency.

Tootle Pro: Is it worth it?

Okay, let’s do some maths to find out if Tootle Pro is really worth it for the riders or not. For a bike rider, let’s assume that he does 3 rides a day with 150 rupees per ride on average, then his total gross income in 28 days would be NPR 12,600. Let’s do a 15% commission rate on that, it would be NPR 1,890. Which is almost 4 times the NPR 500, which is the fee for Tootle Pro.

And as this model is available for a cab as well, we just can’t spare doing some maths for the cab riders. So, suppose a taxi driver does 3 rides a day at NPR 500 maximum, his gross income for 28 days would be NPR 42,000. And charging a 12% would be NPR 5040. So, here as well, paying NPR 999 sounds a much wiser thing, doesn’t it?

Also Read:

But we should also consider that these are the introductory offers. But even when the subscription models go up to NPR 999 for bike riders and NPR 1,999 for cab drivers, it still makes sense for both.

Tootle Pro: Final Thoughts

The ride-hailing scene in Nepal is getting even more competitive. With Indrive reigning as the king with a bargaining feature, Pathao has still managed to gain the trust of customers. And another ride-sharing app, “Yango” has launched with its super aggressive, cheaper fares. So, it’s going to get hard for Tootle. But yeah, the introduction of features like Tootle Pro marks a major advancement for Nepal’s ride-hailing industry, giving drivers greater control over their earnings, enhanced transparency, and more consistent financial planning.

HMD Crest Max is also available in Nepal now

HMD Crest Max is also available in Nepal now

HMD probably makes the most repairable smartphones in the market. The company entered Nepal with HMD Crest a while back. And now both the vanilla and Crest Max variant are now available in Nepal. These two phones have very few things setting them apart from one another. Let’s delve deeper into the HMD Crest series in this article while also discussing its official price in Nepal.

HMD Crest Series Overview

Design and Display

The HMD Crest series looks pretty much the same with flat frames and slightly curved edges. Both the phones have a rectangular camera island with two large circular cutouts. They also have an IP52 dust and water resistance.

The base model has an LED flashlight at the side of these cameras, while the HMD Crest Max has a third camera and a flashlight. In terms of colors, both phones have three options. The former is available in Midnight Blue, Royal Pink, and Lush Lilac, while the latter comes in Aqua Green, Deep Purple, and Royal Pink.

On the front, the HMD Crest series packs a 6.67-inch OLED display with a 20:9 aspect ratio. Furthermore, the screen stretches FHD+ in resolution with a 9 0Hz refresh rate. The USP HMD phones are their repairability, and the HMD Crest and Crest Max are no different in this regard. You can swap out the batteries, charging ports, and even display from the comfort of your home.

Performance

Both the phones from the HMD Crest series are equipped with the UNISOC T760 chipset as their primary driver. As per HMD, the UNISOC chip scores over 510,000 on the AnTuTu benchmark. However, AnTuTu’s website lists a score of just 222,273, which is less than half of what’s claimed. Hence, HMD probably ran the test on an older version of the benchmarking platform. Whatever the case, the silicon comes with 6nm fabrication, eight cores, and a peak clock speed of 2.2 GHz.

The two phones are different from one another in the configuration department. The HMD Crest comes with 6GB RAM and 128GB ROM. On the other hand, HMD Crest Max is available in 8GB + 256GB memory and storage combo. Both phones offer virtual memory extension as well as external memory support. Furthermore, they come with Android 14 out of the box and will receive software updates for the next two years.

Camera and the rest

The cameras on these phones are one of the major differences between the two types of hardware. As I mentioned earlier, HMD Crest comes with two rear cameras, while the Max variant packs an extra shooter on the back. That being said, you get a 50MP primary shooter coupled with a 2MP depth sensor on the base model.

Meanwhile, the HMD Crest Max has a 64MP main, 5MP ultrawide, and a 2MP depth shooter. In terms of the front camera, both the phones are equipped with a 50MP unit. While the hardware is there, these phones are capable of hands-free selfies with gesture controls.

The HMD Crest series comes with a 5,000 mAh battery in their tanks and supports 33W fast charging. Thanks to the processor they pack both these phones support 5G connectivity. Additionally, you also get WiFi 5 and Bluetooth v5.0 for further wireless connection. In the meantime, for wired connections, you get a 3.5mm headphone jack and USB Type-C port. They have a dual microphone setup, however, miss out on stereo speakers.
