GPA, above 21 of the 55 other field service apps we grade

The report card
Best for route planning for delivery and field crews
OptimoRoute plans routes and schedules for drivers and field crews, from $35.10 a driver a month billed annually. That's all it does: it has no quoting, invoicing or customer records, and price grows with every driver you add.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | $35.10 per driver a month billed annually is just above the category's cheaper quarter at $35, and Pro is $44.10. A five-driver team pays about $245 a month on Pro billed monthly. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A 30-day free trial needs no credit card. There is no free plan. |
| Features | D | Route planning, a driver app, live tracking and ETAs, proof of delivery, analytics and an API. It plans routes only, with no quoting, invoicing or customer records of its own, so it needs another product. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. Orders and drivers have to be loaded in before it plans anything. Its own site shows 4.6 from 268 reviews, under the 300 needed to count. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, iPhone and Android, with an API. No integrations are listed, and there's no desktop app. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who OptimoRoute is for
- Fits if you run drivers or crews who make many stops a day and need a better order
- Works for firms that already have quoting and billing elsewhere
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you want invoicing or quoting, as it has neither
- Pricey if your fleet grows, because the price is per driver
- Tight if you plan over 700 orders at once on Lite or 1,000 on Pro, which is the cap
- Watch out: proof of delivery, feedback, analytics and real-time tracking are not in Lite
Good to know
Good for
- Field service and delivery teams that need daily route planning
- Businesses that grow driver by driver and pay only for the drivers they plan
- Pest control, installation and inspection crews sending routes to phones
Worth knowing
- It plans routes and schedules only; it has no quoting, invoicing or customer records of its own.
- Price is per driver, so cost rises with each added driver.
- Proof of delivery, customer feedback, analytics and real-time order tracking are not in Lite.
- Plans cap the orders planned at one time: 700 on Lite, 1000 on Pro. Daily and monthly volume is not capped.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
The plain part of OptimoRoute you could make: job scheduling and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It costs $421.20 a year.
What you could make
- Job scheduling and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A scheduler that rearranges your day as things move.
- Scanning barcodes with a phone camera or a scanner.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- An API that other software can build on.
What this rests on. OptimoRoute’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
