The short answer
Updated
Lite Route Planner is route planning and route optimization software for small businesses and solo operators. It's free for up to 50 addresses, Personal is $19.99 a month billed every six months, and Business starts at $59.99 a month with unlimited drivers and no per-driver fees. It runs in the browser with nothing to install: import your customer spreadsheet, lasso stops into routes, optimize them in one click and send them to drivers' phones. It isn't built for fleets that need time windows, live tracking or automatic dispatch across many vehicles.
Most route software is priced for fleets
Search for route optimization software and most of what you find was built for delivery fleets: time windows, vehicle capacities, dispatch dashboards and a price per driver. OptimoRoute is $39 per driver a month and Badger Maps $69 per user, so a crew of three pays $117 to $207 a month before anyone drives a mile (monthly billing, checked October 2026).
A small business usually needs less, done well: get the customer list on a map, group it into this week's routes, put each one in a sensible order and get it onto a phone. That's what Lite does. Business is $59.99 a month whether you have three drivers or thirty, and solo operators can stay on Free (up to 50 addresses) or Personal ($19.99 a month, billed every six months).
There's nothing to install and no demo to book. Sign up with your email, import your spreadsheet, and you're planning.
The tools a small operation uses
One planner on every plan, with unlimited routes and unlimited optimizations.
Import a spreadsheet
Excel, CSV or cells pasted from Google Sheets. Lite finds the address columns, flags anything it's unsure of, and keeps your other columns as custom fields.
Start and end where you work
Save your shop, warehouse or home as a base. Start there, end there, or make it a round trip.
A history for every stop
Drivers mark stops Visited or Attempted and leave a note. Every visit is saved to the stop's history, so you always know when you were last there.

See who's due for a visit
Color the map by last visit, from this week to over two months ago, and filter to the customers you haven't seen lately. Or color by route, driver or any field you track.
Undo, always
Deleted the wrong stop? Optimized too soon? One click puts it back.

Who it's for, and who it isn't
Choose Lite if
- You're a solo operator or a small team, and your customers live in a spreadsheet
- Most stops can happen any time in the day
- You'd rather pay one flat price than pay per driver
- You want to start today, without a demo or a contract
Choose a fleet routing tool if
- You need time windows, vehicle capacity or driver shifts in the plan
- You want stops split across vehicles automatically
- You need live GPS tracking, customer ETA texts or photo proof of delivery
- You need an API or integrations with Jobber, Shopify or your CRM
- Drivers need to work offline
Your first week
What setup looks like for a small service business.
- 1
Import your customers
Upload your customer spreadsheet. Columns like Service day, Gate code or Contract value come along as fields.
- 2
Make the week's routes
Filter by Service day, lasso Monday's customers into a route, and repeat for each day. Press Optimize on each one.
- 3
Check the day
Set a typical time at each stop, or a longer time for the big jobs, and see the day's total: driving, time at stops and miles.
- 4
Send them out
On Business, assign routes to drivers and they open on their phones. On any plan, open your own route on your phone.
- 5
Next week
Routes don't repeat on their own. Filter by last visit or service day, lasso and optimize again. The addresses are already there, so it takes minutes and uses none of your plan's allowance. More in planning weekly service routes.
