The short answer
Updated
Lite Route Planner is a free route planner for up to 50 addresses, with unlimited routes and unlimited optimizations. There's no credit card and no trial that runs out. Import a spreadsheet or paste a list, press Optimize, and open each stop in Google Maps, Apple Maps or Waze. Most free route planners stop at 10 to 26 stops: Google Maps allows 10 places, Apple Maps 15, RouteXL 20 and MapQuest 26.
How the free route planners compare
The first thing anyone hits with a free route planner is the stop limit. Here's where each one stops, and what you get before it does.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free limit | 50 addresses | 10 places per trip | 15 stops per trip | 26 stops, with ads | 20 stops | 10 stops per route |
| Puts stops in the best order | Yes | No | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Saves routes to use again | Unlimited routes | No | No | With an account | Not stated | Not stated |
| Imports a spreadsheet | Yes | No | No | With an account | Paste from Excel | Not stated |
| Keeps a history of every visit | Yes | No | No | No | No | Not stated |

What the free plan includes
Everything one person needs to plan and drive routes. Import an Excel or CSV file, paste a list or type addresses one at a time. Lasso stops on the map to make a route, then press Optimize to put them in the shortest order. After you save, Lite shows drive time and distance for every leg from real road directions.
Share any route with a link or QR code, mark stops Visited or Attempted from your phone, and keep a history for every address. Color the map by last visit to see who's due. Export a printable PDF, Excel or CSV whenever you need one.
Two things wait for a paid plan: saved bases (your shop, warehouse or home as a fixed start and end) start with Personal, and separate driver accounts come with Business. On the free plan you drive your own routes from your phone's browser.
