Onfleet Alternative: A Free Route Optimizer, No Minimum

Onfleet is one of the few routing and delivery platforms that actually publishes its pricing, which I respect. But the number itself, $599 a month to start, before you’ve routed a single stop, is exactly why people go looking for an onfleet alternative. I build optimization software for a living, and the free tool below solves the same routing math without a monthly minimum.

Route4Me Alternative: A Free Optimizer, No Sales Call

If you’ve tried to get a straight price out of Route4Me, you’ve probably hit a “contact sales” button instead of a number. That’s the most common complaint I hear, and it’s usually why people start searching for a route4me alternative in the first place. I’ve spent twenty-plus years building routing and scheduling optimization for a living, so I built a free one for the operator who just wants to run a route, not book a demo call first.

RouteXL Alternatives: Free Multi-Stop Route Planners

I spent twenty-plus years building vehicle routing models for companies that paid serious money for them, so when I went looking at RouteXL alternatives recently, I wasn’t shopping — I was checking out the neighborhood. RouteXL is probably the best-known free multi-stop route planner on the internet, and for good reason: paste in your addresses, get them back in a sensible order, free up to 20 stops. But 20 stops is exactly where a lot of real delivery days start, and that’s where the free tier ends. This post is an honest tour of what’s out there — including the free VRP tool I built and run myself — and which one fits which kind of routing problem.
