EfiRoute is an OptimoRoute alternative that replaces per-driver subscriptions ($35–39/driver/month) with a flat $15/month plus $1 per courier per optimization run. A 5-driver team paying ~$175–195/month on OptimoRoute typically pays $15–125/month on EfiRoute, with unlimited couriers, live tracking and built-in courier chat.
OptimoRoute is one of the most established route optimization tools, but its per-driver pricing means costs grow linearly with your fleet. EfiRoute takes a different approach: a small flat subscription plus usage-based optimization fees, so you only pay more when you actually optimize more.

| OptimoRoute (Lite, monthly billing) | 5 × $39 = $195 / month |
|---|---|
| EfiRoute (Pro) | $15 + 5 × 22 × $1 − $15 credit = $110 / month |
| EfiRoute (Pro, weekly planning instead of daily) | $15 + 5 × 4 × $1 − $15 credit = $20 / month |
Choose OptimoRoute if you need its advanced workforce scheduling features and your budget comfortably covers a per-driver subscription for every driver, every month.
Choose EfiRoute if you run a small or mid-size fleet, want fleet-grade optimization powered by Google, and prefer paying for actual usage instead of per-driver seats — especially if drivers or delivery days vary week to week.
For most small and mid-size fleets, yes. OptimoRoute charges $35–39 per driver per month regardless of how often you plan routes. EfiRoute charges $15/month plus $1 per courier per optimization run, with $15 of monthly credits included — so a 5-driver team planning weekly pays around $20/month instead of ~$195.
EfiRoute delegates optimization to the Google Cloud Route Optimization API — the same fleet-grade engine Google offers to enterprise logistics platforms. It handles time windows, work-hour limits, multi-day planning and multi-courier assignment.
Yes. The Free plan is permanent (not a trial): 3 projects per month, up to 2 couriers per project and $5 of optimization credit each month. No credit card required.
