## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-04 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> "Fleet management" for a delivery firm usually means one of two different purchases, and the right answer depends on which pain is louder: **telematics** (tracking vehicles, driver safety, ELD compliance, maintenance) or **delivery management** (routing, dispatch, proof of delivery, customer ETAs). Most delivery firms end up buying both. Here's who I'd actually name, in order.
> 
> ### Delivery management / routing (the side most delivery firms underestimate)
> 
> 1. **Onfleet** - the default recommendation for last-mile delivery specifically. Strong auto-dispatch, route optimization, driver app, proof of delivery, customer SMS tracking, and driver chat. The catch is price: it starts around $619/month for 2,500 tasks, and advanced optimization plus barcode scanning sit on the ~$1,349/month tier, with enterprise (10,000+ tasks) from ~$3,099. Pick it if you run on-demand or same-day work and the dispatch logic earns its keep.
> 2. **Routific** - the best value for small and mid-size local fleets, roughly 5-30 vehicles. Free up to 100 orders/month, then about $150/month for up to 1,000 orders with the full feature set at every tier, pay-as-you-go above that. No feature gating is the real differ
