RouteXL is an online multi-stop route planning SaaS provided by the Dutch company RouteXL B.V. Its core objective is to automatically sort multiple destinations for faster itineraries, thereby saving time, fuel, and costs. It is designed for scenarios that require visiting multiple locations in a single day, such as courier services, deliveries, logistics, sales visits, inspections, pick-ups/recycling, and field services.
The product supports three ways to add destinations: entering an address in the search bar, clicking a location on the map, and importing multiple addresses at once. After calculation, the optimized route can be viewed on the map, and it supports printing, downloading, sharing, emailing to colleagues, and exporting to GPS devices and navigation apps. Its underlying architecture heavily relies on third-party and open data: maps come from OpenStreetMap; geocoding includes Mapbox, Photon, Bing, Google, Here, Mapquest, and Nominatim; route calculation uses Graphhopper, OSRM, and Gosmore. The page also mentions availability via API and apps, but full API capabilities are not disclosed.
RouteXL's pricing is relatively straightforward: free for up to 20 stops; 100 stops for €5/day or €35/month; 200 stops for €10/day or €70/month. All plans nominally offer unlimited daily routes, but a fair use policy applies. The free version uses free geocoding, which may have limits on volume or accuracy; paid versions offer Premium geocoding. The page suggests trying the free version first, and notes that there are no refunds after purchase. PayPal is the primary payment method for upgrades, while enterprise users can apply for a Business Subscription paid by invoice.
Pros include a short learning curve, a free version sufficient for small-scale routes, daily payment options that are friendly for temporary projects, and practical features for route importing, printing, downloading, and navigation exporting. Cons include the explicit disclaimer that route optimization is not guaranteed to be absolutely optimal (best-effort only), no guarantee of uninterrupted service availability, and a lack of information on team permissions, role management, and enterprise security certifications. Additionally, the website relies on JavaScript and cookies, and will not function if they are disabled.
It is suitable for small to medium delivery teams, field personnel, and users with occasional multi-stop visits, but not ideal for large enterprises requiring complex fleet dispatching, permission systems, SLAs, or deep system integration. The text does not mention accessibility from China; given its reliance on various overseas map, geocoding, and payment services, actual network connectivity and payment convenience need to be tested by the user.
