PrivateMile vs Routific: route planning, plus the rest of the day.
Routific is a strong route planner. PrivateMile plans routes too — and then runs the day: live auto-dispatch, predicted-late alerts, QR-verified proof, cash on delivery, store integrations and an AI copilot. If planning is where your needs end, read on; if they don’t, read on too.
The honest version
Who each one is for.
Both tools run real delivery operations. The difference is what kind of operation, and what you pay as it grows.
Choose PrivateMile if
You need more than a planned route: orders arriving through the day from a store or API, live assignment, late-order warnings, proof with QR and OTP, cash collection, and a bill that does not grow with each vehicle you add.
Choose Routific if
Your work is planning a fixed set of stops each morning across a small number of vehicles, with little change during the day, and Routific’s planning-first workflow fits that exactly.

Where the two differ most
Planning versus the whole day. Routific starts from the planning problem: here are today’s stops, find the best routes. PrivateMile starts from the operation: orders keep arriving, drivers keep moving, customers keep asking. It plans routes — with preview and confirm — and then keeps running: live assignment of new orders, ETAs that update, a late-order flag before the customer notices, proof at the door, payment collection, and notifications under your brand.
How the bill grows. Per-vehicle pricing means every van you add costs more, whether it runs one route a week or ten. PrivateMile’s plans move with order volume only.
Where Routific is strong. If your day really is a fixed set of stops planned once each morning across a handful of vehicles, Routific’s planning-first workflow is clean and well-regarded.
What switching looks like
Import drivers and a day of stops from CSV, run the optimizer, and compare the proposed routes with Routific’s on the same data. Then connect your store or API and watch orders arrive live. The trial is 15 days and onboarding help is included.
Pricing
Priced by volume. Never per driver.
Per-driver pricing punishes you for growing. We don’t. Every plan includes all four apps and support — pick by monthly order volume, and scaling your fleet never means renegotiating your stack.
Every plan starts with a 15-day free trial — full access, no card required.

Is PrivateMile’s route optimization as good as Routific’s?
Routific is a specialist planner and is very good at it. PrivateMile’s optimizer proposes a shorter stop order per driver, respects delivery windows, and shows the proposal on the map before anything changes — for most local fleets that is what matters. Run a day of your own routes on the trial and compare the plans directly.
We add vehicles for peak season. Does that change the price?
No. PrivateMile is priced by monthly order volume with no per-driver or per-vehicle fees. Per-vehicle pricing is the main reason growing fleets look for a Routific alternative.
Can we keep planning in the morning and still dispatch live?
Yes. Plan the known orders first thing; orders that arrive during the day from your store or API are assigned live by auto-dispatch or by hand, and ETAs across the whole route update as drivers move.
