Onfleet in one paragraph
Onfleet is a mature last-mile delivery platform built, in its own words, for “growing delivery operations” that need “the control, compliance, and visibility to scale.” It is SOC 2 Type II certified, signs HIPAA Business Associate Agreements on its Enterprise plan, includes its full API and webhooks on every plan, and doesn’t limit the number of users. Its plans are priced by completed deliveries, starting at $619 a month for up to 2,500. That makes it a strong fit for pharmacy, lab and multi-site operations — and more platform, and more monthly cost, than many three-to-ten-driver businesses need.
Monthly cost for 3, 6 and 10 drivers
| 3 drivers | 6 drivers | 10 drivers | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Completed deliveries (estimate) | ~1,320 | ~2,640 | ~4,400 |
| RouteWork Professional; Business at 10 | $49.99 | $49.99 | $99.99 |
| Onfleet Launch; Scale at 10 | $619 | $619 + overage* | $1,349 |
How we counted. About 20 stops per driver per day over 22 working days. Onfleet counts each completed pickup or delivery as a task; Launch includes 2,500 a month and Scale 5,000, with extra tasks “billed per task” at a rate Onfleet doesn’t publish. Onfleet’s help center also lists a 3.5% processing fee on card payments, and customer text messages are billed by usage (US $0.013 per SMS segment) — neither is included above.
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 Onfleet is the better choice
- Regulated deliveries. If you deliver prescriptions or lab samples and need a HIPAA BAA, SOC 2 reports, ID or age checks, or recipient PIN verification, Onfleet offers those; RouteWork doesn’t.
- You’re integrating with your own systems. Onfleet includes its full API, webhooks and SDKs on every plan. RouteWork has webhooks but no published API yet.
- You mix in-house drivers with courier partners. Onfleet can dispatch to its network of courier partners from the same screen.
- You run thousands of deliveries a month across several sites, need single sign-on, barcode chain of custody or vehicle capacity limits, or need an Android driver app today.
When RouteWork fits better
RouteWork is built for a local business with a handful of drivers that wants optimized routes, a live map, proof of delivery and customer tracking links without a platform-sized bill. Your price doesn’t depend on how many deliveries you complete, so a busy month costs the same as a quiet one, and a ten-person team is $49.99 a month in total. If your drivers use iPhones and you don’t need compliance paperwork or an API, the 30-day trial is the quickest way to check whether it covers your routes.
A card is required to start; it isn’t charged during the 30 days. Every feature is on every plan. See pricing.
