The Uber fare estimate does work for me from here in the US. It shows about Y20 from the Doubletree (where I'm staying) to the Forbidden City. Does that sound like a fair price? How is traffic, or would it be better to take the subway?
That fare sounds reasonable.
One of the reasons I've shifted to 滴滴 is because Uber stopped taking my credit card (and, customer service is not helpful on this point).
滴滴 is much less user friendly than Uber (e.g. they can thrust ride sharing upon you in sneaky ways), but they do have more cars.
Avoid airport pick-ups in both cases unless you know the lay of the land.
