What the free plans mean in practice
Most route planner apps are built for delivery businesses and earn from a monthly plan, so the free plan is a sample: 8 stops on RoadWarrior, 10 on Spoke (Circuit), 20 on RouteXL and 30 on EZRoutePlanner. A normal day for a courier, a lawn care crew or a sales rep is often more than that, which is why people meet the paywall after typing in their whole list.
This planner has no paid plan, so there is nothing to sample: up to 50 stops every time, with no account. What it leaves out is what the paid apps are built around: dispatching several drivers, live tracking, proof of delivery and customer text messages. If you need those, a paid app is the right choice, and each comparison below says when.
