How we make this list: we compare pricing pages, product documentation and public user reviews. Ratings come from G2, Capterra or Trustpilot, with the date we checked them.
Key takeaways
- Tookan offers flexible task management for delivery, field service, and pickup, but route optimization, ETAs, messaging, and barcode scanning are paid add-ons.
- Routific and Shipday offer genuinely free tiers, at 100 and 300 orders per month respectively.
- Onfleet suits high-volume courier operations, while OptimoRoute and Detrack suit per-driver pricing models.
- Pricing models differ sharply: per order, per driver, per task, and per stop all produce very different bills at the same volume.

Best for: High-volume couriers4.6/5 on

Starting price$599/month
Free planNo
Onfleet is the enterprise-grade last-mile platform, with task-based pricing, unlimited users, barcode scanning, ID checks, multi-brand support, and hybrid fleet orchestration. High-volume couriers use it for regulatory proof needs and multi-brand operations, and the Courier Suite add-on covers 3PL client portals. For enterprise courier operations, Onfleet is the benchmark.
Entry pricing starts at $599 per month, with later listings citing $619 per month for Launch, and the Courier Suite adds $299 per month. At 5,000 stops monthly, Onfleet Scale runs about $1,349 per month. For high-volume couriers, Onfleet fits best.
What we like- Strong last-mile platform
- Barcode scanning and ID checks
- Multi-brand support
Watch out for- Highest entry price here
- Courier Suite is a $299 per month add-on
- 14-day trial only
#2Routific
Best for: Free route optimization4.8/5 on
G2 (47 reviews, checked Oct 2026)
Visit routific.com
Starting price$0
Free planYes
Routific eliminates spaghetti routes with a strong optimization algorithm, a simple interface needing no training, and per-order pricing that scales with volume rather than headcount. The free tier covers up to 100 orders monthly, the 1,000-order tier costs $150 per month flat, and above 1,000 orders the per-order rate drops from 15 cents to 3 cents above 20,000 orders. Every plan includes the same algorithm, dispatcher tools, and barcode scanning.
It is designed for pre-planned routes rather than on-demand dispatch, the driver app is English only, and SMS notifications bill through a paid third party. For small delivery teams that plan routes daily, Routific is the value pick.
What we like- Free to 100 orders monthly
- Same algorithm on every plan
- 4.9 out of 5 on Capterra
Watch out for- Pre-planned routes only
- English-only driver app
- No POS integrations
- SMS billed separately
Starting price$35.10/driver/month
Free planNo
OptimoRoute charges per driver rather than per order, at $35.10 per driver per month billed annually ($39 monthly), with a 30-day trial. It excels at recurring scheduling and weekly planning on Pro, with drag-and-drop re-optimization and multiple start and end locations. For mid-size fleets with stable driver counts, per-driver pricing is predictable.
There is no free tier, proof of delivery sits only on Pro, and there is no client portal beyond recipient tracking. For per-driver routing with recurring schedules, OptimoRoute leads.
What we like- Strong route optimization
- Weekly planning on Pro
- Multiple start and end locations
Watch out for- No free tier
- Proof of delivery only on Pro
- Recipient tracking only, no client portal
#4Detrack
Best for: Proof of delivery4.5/5 on

Visit detrack.com
Starting price$29/vehicle/month
Free planNo
Detrack combines live tracking with electronic proof of delivery at $29 per vehicle per month, or $39 with routing, with a 14-day trial. Every plan includes signature, 10 photos, location, and timestamps, and the driver app covers 26 languages with unlimited office users. For proof-of-delivery compliance across multilingual teams, Detrack fits.
There is no free tier, routing costs extra, and integrations are API-only. For proof-first delivery operations, Detrack is the pick.
What we like- Live tracking plus electronic proof
- 26 driver-app languages
- Unlimited office users
Watch out for- No free tier
- Routing only on the $39 tier
- API-only integrations
Starting price$0
Free planYes
Shipday offers the most generous free tier here, at 300 orders monthly, with pre-built POS integrations for Toast, Square, Shopify, and MICROS, a driver app in 25-plus languages, and AI dispatch. Restaurants and local delivery businesses use it for on-demand dispatch with multilingual teams. For free delivery management with POS links, Shipday wins.
The focus is restaurants and local delivery rather than enterprise couriers, and higher volumes need paid tiers. For small food and retail delivery, Shipday is the top free pick.
What we like- Free to 300 orders monthly
- Pre-built POS integrations
- 25-plus driver-app languages
- AI dispatch
Watch out for- Restaurant and local-delivery focus
- Paid tiers for higher volume
- Smaller courier footprint

Visit track-pod.com
Starting price$49/driver/month
Free planNo
Track-POD gives couriers the deepest proof-of-delivery customization, with configurable proof per client, offline capture, multi-depot support, and recipient notifications. Entry pricing runs $49 per driver per month, with higher tiers at $147 or $285 monthly in some listings, and a free trial with no card. For couriers whose edge is proof quality, Track-POD leads.
There is no free tier, the entry price is high for small teams, and integrations are API-only. For proof-customized courier operations, Track-POD is the pick.
What we like- Deepest proof customization
- Offline capture
- Multi-depot support
Watch out for- No free tier
- $49 entry is high for small teams
- API-only integrations
Starting priceSee website
Free planNo
Route4Me offers flexible routing with custom pricing and API integrations, widely used by small and mid-size delivery teams. Per-user plus add-on pricing means the bill depends on features chosen, with estimates around $600 to $900 monthly at 2,000 stops and $900 to $1,800 at 5,000 stops. For teams that need flexible routing without a fixed pricing model, Route4Me fits.
Pricing sits behind a quote, add-ons raise the bill, and multilingual driver support is limited. For flexible routing on a custom quote, Route4Me works.
What we like- Flexible routing with custom pricing
- API integrations
- Broad small-business adoption
Watch out for- Pricing behind a quote
- Add-ons raise the bill
- Limited multilingual driver support
#8Upper
Best for: Full delivery workflow4.8/5 on

Visit upperinc.com
Starting price$40/user/month
Free planNo
Upper covers the full delivery workflow from $40 per user per month, with dispatch, tracking, and proof of delivery without order limits. Small teams of 1 to 10 drivers and mid-size fleets of 10 to 50 drivers both use it as a complete platform rather than a routing-only tool. For a full workflow without order caps, Upper fits.
There is no free tier, per-user pricing grows with team size, and the ecosystem is smaller than Onfleet. For complete delivery operations at a mid-range price, Upper is the pick.
What we like- Full workflow without order limits
- Dispatch plus tracking
- Proof of delivery included
Watch out for- No free tier
- Per-user pricing grows with team size
- Smaller ecosystem than Onfleet
How we chose
We compared pricing models, free tiers, route quality, proof-of-delivery depth, driver-app languages, and POS integrations for each tool, then checked them against recent delivery-management comparisons with data verified in 2026. Tools made the list only if delivery businesses can dispatch, route, or track deliveries today with a published or widely reported offering. Where pricing sits behind a quote or varies by listing, we used See website rather than printing a contested figure. We also weighed pricing-model behavior separately, since per-order, per-driver, per-task, and per-stop bills diverge sharply at the same volume. We also checked route-quality evidence, since comparison tests show up to 20 percent efficiency variation between algorithms, and tangled routes cost fuel, driver hours, and overtime directly.
Model your bill at your real volume before buying
Pricing-model choice matters more than headline price. A 1,000-order business pays $150 on Routific versus $619 on Onfleet Launch, while a 5,000-order operation costs around $630 on Routific versus $1,349 on Onfleet Scale. Per-driver tools like OptimoRoute stay flat when order volume rises but climb with every hire, while per-stop tools follow deliveries rather than headcount. Seasonal, part-time, or lighter-route drivers make per-driver bills climb whether they are busy or not.
Also confirm add-on costs before signing, since Tookan own add-ons show the trap: route optimization at $0.12 per task, ETAs at $49 monthly, in-app messaging at $11.99 monthly, and barcode scanning at $11.99 monthly on top of the base plan. Ask each vendor for a written quote covering your full feature set at your real monthly volume, including SMS, proof features, and client portals, before deciding. Also test driver-app usability with your actual drivers during the trial, since a dispatcher-friendly dashboard means little if drivers struggle with the mobile app in the field. Battery use, offline behavior, and language support all matter more in daily use than demo polish. Also confirm live route editing after dispatch, since plans change mid-route: some tools allow adding or removing stops after drivers start, while others lock routes once dispatched. A tool that cannot adapt to same-day changes will cost more in missed deliveries than it saves in licence fees. Compare at least three vendors on identical volumes before signing anything final today at all.
Frequently asked questions
What is Tookan and why do users leave it?
Tookan, from Jungleworks, offers flexible task management for delivery, field service, and pickup workflows, with real-time tracking and automated customer notifications. Users leave over add-on pricing that stacks fast, WooCommerce integration complaints, variable support response times, limited language support in Arabic and English only, and no free tier beyond a 14-day trial. Alternatives here address one or more of those gaps.
Which Tookan alternative is free?
Routific is free to 100 orders monthly with the same optimization algorithm on every plan, and Shipday is free to 300 orders monthly with POS integrations and AI dispatch. Both suit small businesses testing delivery software without a paid commitment. For larger volumes, Routific scales to $150 monthly at 1,000 orders, while Shipday moves to paid tiers. Also check POS integration depth, since Shipday offers pre-built links for Toast, Square, Shopify, and MICROS, while most rivals here rely on API-only connections.
Which Tookan alternative is best for proof of delivery?
Track-POD offers the deepest proof customization with configurable proof per client and offline capture, while Detrack combines live tracking with signature, photos, location, and timestamps at $29 per vehicle monthly. For compliance-heavy courier work, Track-POD leads; for proof plus live tracking at a lower price, Detrack fits.
How does pricing-model choice affect my bill?
Per-order pricing follows volume, per-driver pricing follows headcount, per-task pricing follows tasks with feature tiers, and per-stop pricing follows deliveries. At 2,000 stops monthly, per-stop tools run $125 to $200, per-driver tools run about $490 for 10 drivers, and per-task tools run $619 and up. Model your bill at 2,000, 5,000, and 10,000 stops before committing, since the cheapest tool at one volume may be the dearest at another.
Does any Tookan alternative support multilingual driver teams?
Yes: Shipday supports 25-plus driver-app languages, Detrack supports 26, and OptimoRoute supports 25-plus, while Routific is English only and Tookan lists Arabic and English only. For multilingual driver teams, shortlist Shipday, Detrack, or OptimoRoute, and confirm your exact languages during the trial. Also confirm customer notification options, since SMS costs, email inclusion, and tracking-link quality vary: Routific includes email on all plans but bills SMS separately, while other tools bundle both.
