The cheapest paid plan OptimoRoute sells costs $35.10 a month for one driver. Routific's costs nothing until you pass 100 orders a month, then $150. Both work for a solo driver, and both were built for someone running more than one van.
This is the arithmetic: what route optimization software priced for fleets costs one person, what the extra money buys, and when a plan built for a single driver makes more sense. Every price below was read off the company's own pricing page on October 9, 2026.
What one driver pays on each plan
- OptimoRoute: Lite is $35.10 per driver per month billed annually, and Pro is $44.10. There's a 30-day free trial with no card. OptimoRoute pricing.
- Routific: free up to 100 orders a month, then $150 a month for 101 to 1,000 orders. Drivers and dispatchers are unlimited, because Routific moved from per-vehicle to per-order pricing in mid-2024. Routific pricing.
- Route4Me: its web plans are listed at $199, $299 and $349 a month. A separate mobile page lists a free plan limited to 10 stops, and paid plans from $9.99 a month. Route4Me pricing.
That's three ways of charging: per driver, per order and per account. A solo driver lands in a different spot on each.
A hundred free orders lasts about five working days
Routific's free tier sounds like it covers a solo driver. Count the stops. At 20 a day, 100 orders is five days of work. Order 101 is on day six, and that month costs $150.
Run those 20 stops five days a week and you're near 430 orders a month, which is the $150 tier. OptimoRoute's Lite plan would be $35.10 for the same driver. Per-order pricing rewards light months. Per-driver pricing rewards full-time ones, and for one person working every day it's cheaper by a wide margin.
The cliff is the part that catches people. A slow month costs nothing and a normal one costs $150, with no step in between.
What the extra money buys, and what a solo driver never opens
Listicles rank these tools by feature count. For one driver, most of those features are for somebody else. Here's what the pricing pages actually list:
- Dispatchers. Routific includes unlimited dispatchers, which only matters if someone is assigning your stops.
- Live tracking. OptimoRoute's Lite plan includes it, so a back office can see a van. You are the van.
- Order volume. Lite handles up to 700 orders at once and Pro up to 1,000. A solo day is a few dozen.
- Proof of delivery, analytics and real-time order tracking. OptimoRoute puts these on Pro. This is the one line a solo driver may genuinely want, if a client needs a photo at the door.
Fix My Route sits at the other end of the range. It's built for one driver running their own day: free for routes up to 12 stops, Pro for unlimited stops and unlimited photo imports, with directions handed off to Google Maps, Apple Maps or Waze. It has no dispatch mode. Multi-driver isn't built, so a fleet plan is the better fit for anyone who needs that.
When a fleet plan is the right call
There's a point where the per-driver price stops being waste. Four situations get you there:
- Someone else drives part of your route. Dispatch and shared routes are what you'd be paying for.
- You run fewer than 100 orders a month and need nothing else. Routific's free tier costs nothing.
- A client wants proof of delivery on every stop. OptimoRoute Pro lists it.
- You're about to add a second driver. At that point you need dispatch whichever tool you pick.
Which of these numbers to re-check before you pay
We read these pages through a text extractor on one day, and pricing pages change. Re-read the page before you subscribe. Two spots deserve a second look: OptimoRoute's billing wording, which says annual billing on the plan list and month to month elsewhere on the page, and Route4Me, whose web and mobile plans are priced separately.
We also didn't run a route through any of these tools for this post, so nothing here says which one plans the better route. For that comparison on one real shift, see our Zeo comparison.
Before any of it, count your orders for one real month. That number picks the plan.
