The Guru Take
Taxes and Tolls probably make the difference
The taxi rates used on TaxiFareFinder and RideGuru are exactly the same, so the metered fare will be accurate on both sites.
However, RideGuru has access to a more complete database of taxes and tolls than TaxiFareFinder. In some places these extra fees (such as VAT) can be significant. If you are seeing a difference in fares between the two sites, look at the fare breakdowns on each. That should tell the story.
