Besides some similarities, online transportation also has several differences; one of which is the number of features it has. In Gojek there are thirteen services provided ranging from Go-cars, Go-rides, Go-food, Go-mart, Go-send, and many more. Whereas Grab only provides seven services that can be used namely Grab-bike, Grab-car, Grab-express, and so on. Although some features have the same functionality, Gojek is still preferable in terms of features by more choices and more complete than Grab.

Even so, they also have a slight difference in cost rates. Gojek has a basic cost of Rp. 12,000, for trips of 1-10 km. For trips from 11 to 15 Km Gojek gives a fare of Rp. 15,000; but if your distance has more than 15 Km, then Gojek will add Rp. 2000 per trip per kilometer. Unlike Gojek, Grab has its cost. This grab sets rates based on distance; per kilometer is Rp. 1,500. However, grab also determines the minimum rate that must be paid which is Rp. 10,000 if you have less than 10km; so, if your kilometer is only 6 km but you must pay Rp. 10,000. Both applications also apply rush hour and usually, the cost will be more expensive because of the many requests from customers.
