Taxis are generally far more expensive than Ubers, and they don't quote up front, and they try and trick you with extra charges, and you can only summon them with an app because of Uber forcing them to engage in competition.

Most Taxi companies I’ve dealt with quote if ask them. Generally you get a few bucks off if you do so at least a day in advance.
I’d rather give a call than install an app anyways.
My experience taught me that taxis are usually around the same price as Ubers in densely populated areas and wildly more expensive outside of those. I’m not very experienced as an Uber user though since I generally prefer public transport.
