Spoke Dispatch in one paragraph
Circuit for Teams is now called Spoke Dispatch — getcircuit.com’s team pages redirect to spoke.com. Spoke describes it as delivery management “built specifically for courier teams.” Every plan includes unlimited drivers, and you pay a monthly base with a set number of stops, then a few cents per extra stop: $125 for 1,000 stops on Starter, $200 for 2,000 on Premium. Its driver app is widely used (Spoke cites more than 10 million downloads), and it has strong courier tooling such as barcode proof of custody and cash on delivery.
Monthly cost for 3, 6 and 10 drivers
| 3 drivers | 6 drivers | 10 drivers | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stops per month (estimate) | ~1,320 | ~2,640 | ~4,400 |
| RouteWork | $49.99 | $49.99 | $99.99 |
| Spoke Dispatch (Starter) | $137.80 | $190.60 | $261.00 |
How we counted. About 20 stops per driver per day over 22 working days. Spoke Starter is $125 including 1,000 stops, then $0.04 per stop; Starter stays cheaper than Premium ($200 + $0.06) at all three sizes. Spoke counts attempted stops, depot stops and stops exported or printed. Customer texts are charged per message at Twilio’s rates; customer emails are free.
RouteWork prices cover team members, which includes whoever dispatches. The RouteWork row assumes your drivers plus one office login. If the owner also drives, the plan can be one size smaller (3 drivers fit Starter at $19.99; 10 fit Professional at $49.99).

When Spoke Dispatch is the better choice
- You run a courier operation that needs barcode proof of custody, cash on delivery, linked pickups and drop-offs, or a portal where your clients submit orders.
- You have more than 25 people. Spoke has no driver limit on any plan; RouteWork’s largest plan covers 25.
- Your drivers want navigation inside the app, including CarPlay and Android Auto, or they use Android phones today.
- You need a read/write API or Shopify and Zapier connections.
When RouteWork fits better
For a small team doing steady daily volume, RouteWork costs less at every size above and doesn’t meter stops, so you never need to watch a counter. Your delivery history is kept while your account is active rather than for 30 days, and repeat customers can be put on a schedule so they appear on the right day automatically.
A card is required to start; it isn’t charged during the 30 days. Every feature is on every plan. See pricing.
