> # Route planning software for delivery firms
> 
> The right pick depends mostly on fleet size and whether you need routing alone or routing plus dispatch/telematics. Here's how I'd rank them:
> 
> **1. OptimoRoute** - My default recommendation for most small-to-mid delivery firms. Strong optimizer that handles time windows, driver skills, capacity constraints and multi-day planning, with a clean driver app and proof of delivery. Transparent pricing at ~$39/driver/month (Lite) or $49 (Pro), discounted annually. Good API if you need to wire it into an order system.
> 
> **2. Routific** - The easiest to get running same-day, and the best choice if you have a dispatcher who isn't technical. Excellent UI, good customer-notification/ETA features. Priced ~$49-$93/vehicle/month depending on tier; they've been shifting toward per-stop pricing, which is worth asking about if your volume is spiky.
> 
> **3. Onfleet** - Pick this if you're a courier or on-demand operation where dispatch matters as much as routing: live driver tracking, auto-assignment, customer SMS tracking links, solid analytics. Strong API, so it's common as the delivery layer behind someone else's ordering app.
> 
> **4. Circuit for Teams** -
