## The answer, as recorded

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

> Depends mostly on fleet size and whether you need routing alone or routing plus telematics. Here's how I'd rank them:
> 
> **1. Routific** - my default recommendation for small-to-mid delivery fleets (roughly 1-30 drivers). Best-in-class optimization quality, genuinely easy for a dispatcher to learn in an afternoon, and it prices **per order rather than per driver**, which is friendlier if you have part-time or seasonal drivers. Free tier up to ~100 orders/month lets you trial it on real data before paying.
> 
> **2. OptimoRoute** - the better pick if your work is mixed delivery + field service, multi-day planning, or strict return-to-depot routes. Around $35-44/driver/month on annual billing. Stronger than Routific on scheduling work across a week; weaker value if driver count is high relative to stop count.
> 
> **3. Onfleet** - purpose-built for high-volume on-demand last mile: grocery, pharmacy, restaurant, same-day courier. Excellent driver app, customer SMS tracking, and dispatcher console. Starts around $500/month for ~2,000 tasks with unlimited users, so it only makes sense above a few thousand stops a month.
> 
> **4. Circuit (now Spoke Dispatch)** - fastest setup of anything on this list
