The Short Version

Same City, Different Model

Careem is a ride-hailing app: you book a car, and the fare is fixed to the vehicle whether you ride alone or with friends. It can rise with surge pricing at busy times.

Shareide is a per-seat carpooling app: you book and pay for your seat, not the whole car. There's no surge pricing, you can bid what you're willing to pay, and if you commute the same route daily you can lock in a fixed monthly fare with the same driver and co-riders.
