The WorkWave Route Manager alternative without a vehicle minimum

EfiRoute is a WorkWave Route Manager alternative for smaller fleets. WorkWave Route Manager runs about $54 per vehicle per month with a 4-vehicle minimum (~$216/month) and no free plan; EfiRoute starts free and is $15/month plus $1 per courier per optimization run, with no vehicle minimum and tracking and proof of delivery included.

WorkWave Route Manager is a capable routing product, but it is priced per vehicle (~$54) with a four-vehicle minimum and no public free option — and pricing for WorkWave’s wider suite is quote-only. EfiRoute keeps things transparent: start free, then a small flat fee plus per-use optimization.

Does EfiRoute publish its pricing?

Yes, in full: Free plan, Pro at $15/month plus $1 per courier per optimization run. WorkWave publishes Route Manager’s per-vehicle price but keeps pricing for its wider suite and GPS products quote-only.
