Routific is simple, has a real free plan and connects to Shopify. People usually look elsewhere when they need something it doesn't do, such as multi-day routing or recurring service visits, or when their volume grows. Here are five alternatives and where each fits.
Why people look for alternatives
No multi-day routing. Routific's own blog says it doesn't support routes planned over several days.
No reload trips. Its blog also says multiple round trips back to a depot in one route aren't handled natively.
SMS costs extra. Text notifications are a paid add-on, priced by country.
Built around delivery. Service businesses with repeat visits often want scheduling built for recurring work.

Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest alternative to Routific?
Under 100 orders a month, nothing beats Routific's free plan. Above that, per-driver tools such as OptimoRoute are cheap for one or two drivers, and plans priced by stops, such as Routes & Maps and Spoke Dispatch, stay the same as you add drivers. Small team? We price by stops, not drivers. If our standard plans are more than you need, talk to sales about a Custom plan sized to your monthly stops.
Which alternative handles reload trips back to the depot?
Routes & Maps plans deliver-and-reload days, where drivers go back to the depot or a refill station mid-route (on request). OptimoRoute lists dynamic mid-route depots on its Custom plan.
Which alternative is best for recurring service visits?
Routes & Maps schedules recurring visits on any cycle with no limit on how far ahead and tracks each customer's last visit; you choose the day. OptimoRoute's Weekly Planning (Pro plan) picks the day for each visit up to five weeks ahead.
Do these alternatives connect to Shopify?
Spoke Dispatch and OptimoRoute list Shopify integrations. Routes & Maps does not have one.
