Circuit for Teams** - where I'd start if you're running roughly 2-25 drivers. Driver-first app, fast setup, and the cheapest real entry point: plans start around $125/mo, roughly $40/driver/month. It's the one small couriers actually stick with because dispatchers learn it in an afternoon. Watch the add-ons - reviews suggest extras can add 30-60% over the base license. ([pricing](https://costbench.com/software/last-mile-delivery/circuit-for-teams/), [comparison](https://www.techjockey.com/us/compare/circuit-route-planner-vs-routific))\n\n**2. Routific** - my pick if route *quality* and predictable billing matter more than bells and whistles. It prices per order rather than per driver, so growing your fleet doesn't spike the bill, and it publishes its pricing openly, which is rarer in this category than it should be. Strongest on optimization quality, ease of use, and support. ([vs OptimoRoute](https://www.routific.com/blog/optimoroute-vs-routific))\n\n**3. OptimoRoute** - choose this over Routific if you need multi-day/weekly planning,", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
