EfiRoute is a Tookan alternative that includes route optimization instead of charging for it as an add-on. Tookan plans run $99–499/month (Startup to Standard) with route optimization, branded driver apps and other features sold separately; EfiRoute is $15/month plus $1 per courier per run with Google-grade optimization included, and a permanent free plan.
Tookan is a flexible delivery-management platform, but several pieces a courier operation actually needs — route optimization, branded driver apps, email parsing — are paid add-ons on top of the base plan, so the real monthly cost climbs quickly. EfiRoute bundles fleet-grade optimization into a single, predictable price.

|---|---|---|
| Entry price | Free plan, Pro at $15/month | From $99/month (Startup, 700 tasks) |
| Route optimization | Included (Google Cloud Route Optimization API) | Paid add-on on every plan |
| Pricing model | $15/mo flat + $1 per courier per optimization run | Monthly tiers by task volume + add-ons |

| Branded courier app | Dedicated courier app (iOS & Android) | Paid add-on |
| Courier chat & voice notes | Built-in chat with push-to-talk voice notes | Not built in |
| Real-time tracking | Real-time GPS tracking included | Included |

| Tookan (Startup + route-optimization add-on) | $99+ / month plus the optimization add-on |
|---|---|
| EfiRoute (Pro, daily) | $15 + 5 × 22 × $1 − $15 credit = $110 / month |
| EfiRoute (Pro, weekly planning) | $15 + 5 × 4 × $1 − $15 credit = $20 / month |
Choose Tookan if you want a modular platform you can extend with many add-ons and other Jungleworks products, and you’re comfortable assembling (and paying for) the pieces individually.
Choose EfiRoute if you want route optimization, tracking, proof of delivery and a courier app included in one flat price — without discovering that the core feature you came for is an extra line item.
Yes — it is the core of the product, powered by the Google Cloud Route Optimization API and included from the Pro plan. On Tookan, route optimization is a paid add-on layered on top of every base plan.
Usually, once add-ons are counted. Tookan’s Startup plan is $99/month before the route-optimization and branded-app add-ons most courier operations need. EfiRoute starts free, and a 5-courier team typically pays $20–110/month with optimization already included.
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, with no credit card required.
