The short answer
Updated
Lite Route Planner is a Route4Me alternative for small businesses that plan routes from a spreadsheet. As of October 2026, Route4Me's pricing page shows team plans at $199, $299 and $349 a month with the billing unit not published, and its driver app is free for 10 stops or from $9.99 a month. Lite is free for up to 50 addresses, and Business starts at $59.99 a month with unlimited drivers and no per-driver fees. Route4Me is the better fit for fleets that need time windows, photo and signature proof of delivery, or enterprise add-ons.

Checked October 19, 2026 on route4me.com/pricing. If Route4Me's team prices turn out to be per user or per driver, multiply by your team size to compare. Lite takes 33% off any paid plan billed every six months, so Business 1,000 is $39.99 a month.

Two different sizes of tool
Route4Me is built for bigger operations. It positions itself for larger fleets, with telematics, territories and enterprise add-ons alongside route optimization, time windows and proof of delivery. If you run dozens of vehicles and want one vendor for all of it, that breadth is the point.
Lite Route Planner covers what a small business does every day. Import the customer list, lasso a route, press Optimize, send it to a driver's phone. A pest control company with three techs, or a house cleaner with 40 regular clients, can run the week from one map, and a new driver only needs the code in their email.
The other difference is memory. Every stop keeps its visit history, and the map colors each customer by when you were last there, from within a week to over two months, or never. For recurring work, that's how next week's route gets built. See customers you haven't visited.
Route4Me or Lite: an honest split
Choose Lite if
- You're a small business or a solo operator, and a list in Excel or Google Sheets is your system.
- You want published, flat prices: $59.99 a month for Business with unlimited drivers.
- Your drivers should be on the route in a minute, with nothing to install.
- You revisit customers and want a map that shows who's overdue.
Choose Route4Me if
- You run a larger fleet and want telematics, territories or enterprise add-ons.
- You need time windows, or photo and signature proof of delivery.
- Your drivers want a native app.
- You only need 10 stops at a time on one phone: Route4Me's free driver app covers that.
From Route4Me to Lite in three steps
- 1
Export your addresses
Export your addresses or routes from Route4Me to a CSV or Excel file, or go back to the spreadsheet you started from.
- 2
Import and check
Upload the file to Lite. It matches the address columns, looks up every address, flags any it couldn't place and keeps the rest as custom fields, like service type or gate code.
- 3
Plan the week
Lasso each day's stops, press Optimize, and assign routes to drivers on Business. They sign in on their phone's browser with a code from their email.
