It never beats the tram-and-métro route at EUR 4.60 a head. It beats the métro from four travelers to the Right Bank (EUR 45 against EUR 56) and from three to the Left Bank (EUR 36 against EUR 42).
The price depends on which side of the river you are going to, not on how far: EUR 36 for the 5th, 6th, 7th, 13th, 14th and 15th arrondissements, EUR 45 for the rest of Paris. Say your address, not "Paris". Outside the commune of Paris the meter applies.
The flat fare is for a direct ride. Ask for a stop or a detour and, in the arrêté's words, "la tarification forfaitaire n'est pas appliquée".
The journey time here is not an operator figure: no authority states one, so this is a realistic range for a road journey into Paris that starts 10 km from its edge. Rush hour on the A6 decides the rest.
Five to eight people in one car pay EUR 5.50 a head from the fifth on top of the flat fare. The statute allows an eight-seat taxi; whether one is waiting at the rank is another matter, and the supplement is the same in a booked one.
It is the only option here that certainly runs all night, and it costs the same at 03:00 as at noon.
