Fleetbase vs Route4Me
Route4Me is a route planning tool. Fleetbase is a complete open-source fleet management and TMS platform — with route optimization built in, plus dispatch, driver management, WMS, storefront, and accounting.
Why teams choose Fleetbase over Route4Me
More than route planning
Route4Me optimizes routes. Fleetbase does that and much more — full dispatch, real-time tracking, driver management, POD capture, WMS, and storefront all in one platform.
Open source & self-hostable
Route4Me is closed-source and cloud-only. Fleetbase is fully open source under AGPL. Deploy on your own infrastructure and keep full control of your data.
No per-route fees
Route4Me charges per route and per driver. Fleetbase never charges per route or per order — $29 a month plus $5 per driver or vehicle, however much you run.
