OptimoRoute in one paragraph
OptimoRoute is a route and schedule planner for delivery and field-service businesses, used by “3,000+ customers from small business to enterprise.” Its strength is planning depth: driver skills, breaks and overtime, workload balancing, vehicle weight and volume, and planning up to five weeks ahead. It’s priced per driver per month, so the bill grows with every driver you add. That per-driver model is the main thing RouteWork does differently.
Monthly cost for 3, 6 and 10 drivers
| 3 drivers | 6 drivers | 10 drivers | |
|---|---|---|---|
| RouteWork | $49.99 | $49.99 | $99.99 |
| OptimoRoute Pro, month to month ($49/driver) | $147.00 | $294.00 | $490.00 |
| OptimoRoute Pro, billed annually ($44.10/driver) | $132.30 | $264.60 | $441.00 |
| OptimoRoute Lite, billed annually ($35.10/driver) | $105.30 | $210.60 | $351.00 |
Which OptimoRoute plan to compare. Proof of delivery, customer tracking and notifications, barcode scanning and analytics are on OptimoRoute Pro, not Lite. RouteWork includes proof of delivery, customer tracking links and analytics on every plan, so Pro is the like-for-like row; Lite is shown for completeness. OptimoRoute’s $49 month-to-month Pro price comes from its pricing FAQ; it doesn’t publish a month-to-month Lite price. Customer texts need prepaid SMS credits.
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 OptimoRoute is the better choice
- Your scheduling is complicated. If jobs need technicians with specific skills, drivers have mandatory breaks, or you balance workloads and overtime across a crew, OptimoRoute models all of that.
- You plan weeks in advance or run multi-day, long-haul or truck routes (on its Custom plan).
- Loads matter. OptimoRoute plans around vehicle weight and volume; RouteWork doesn’t.
- You need a documented API, an Android app today, or a trial without entering a card.
When RouteWork fits better
If your routes are a set of stops with time windows rather than a scheduling puzzle, per-driver pricing is the bigger cost. Hiring a seventh driver adds $49 a month on OptimoRoute Pro and nothing on RouteWork’s $49.99 Professional plan, which covers up to ten people. Proof of delivery, customer tracking links and analytics come with every RouteWork plan rather than the upper tier.
A card is required to start; it isn’t charged during the 30 days. Every feature is on every plan. See pricing.
