Routific in one paragraph
Routific is route optimization software for “growing delivery businesses” — food, grocery, florists, couriers, meal prep. Since mid-2024 it has charged by orders rather than vehicles: drivers and dispatchers are unlimited, the first 100 orders a month are free, and $150 a month covers up to 1,000 orders, with a per-order rate above that. Its free tier and per-order pricing suit businesses whose volume is low or seasonal. Where the two products differ most is what happens to your bill as order volume grows.
Monthly cost for 3, 6 and 10 drivers
| 3 drivers | 6 drivers | 10 drivers | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Orders per month (estimate) | ~1,320 | ~2,640 | ~4,400 |
| RouteWork | $49.99 | $49.99 | $99.99 |
| Routific | $198.00 | $383.20 | $570.00 |
How we counted. About 20 stops per driver per day over 22 working days, one order per stop. Routific: $150 for the first 1,000 orders, then $0.15 each up to 2,000, $0.13 up to 3,000 and $0.10 up to 5,000. Routific’s SMS add-on is billed separately and isn’t included above.
Under 100 orders a month? Routific is free at that volume, with every feature except SMS. That’s cheaper than any RouteWork plan.
RouteWork prices cover team members, which includes whoever dispatches. The RouteWork row assumes your drivers plus one office login. If the owner also drives, the plan can be one size smaller (3 drivers fit Starter at $19.99; 10 fit Professional at $49.99).

When Routific is the better choice
- You deliver fewer than about 100 orders a month, or only deliver once a week. The free tier will cost you nothing.
- You need vehicle capacity or barcode scanning — for example, loading vans by volume, or scanning parcels at the door.
- You sell on Shopify and want orders to flow straight into routes.
- You plan very large days — more than 1,000 stops in a single optimization — or your drivers are on Android today.
When RouteWork fits better
Once you’re past a thousand or so orders a month, Routific’s bill rises with every order while RouteWork’s stays the same: six drivers doing twenty stops a day is $49.99 a month on RouteWork. RouteWork also schedules repeat customers for you — set a location to weekly, every two weeks or monthly and it appears on the right day’s route — which suits water, propane, laundry, lawn and other route-based service businesses.
A card is required to start; it isn’t charged during the 30 days. Every feature is on every plan. See pricing.
