The same optimized routes, with a free plan and no credit card, flat pricing and an interface available in 5 languages.
Free plan, no credit card, 5 routes per month.
Circuit is a good tool, but it does not fit every budget or every team.
Circuit's team plan is billed by stop tiers and per seat. For a solo driver or a small team, the monthly cost climbs quickly.
Circuit mainly offers a trial. OptiRoad includes a permanent free plan, with no credit card, so you can optimize real routes.
Circuit's interface and support are primarily in English. OptiRoad is natively available in French, English, Spanish, German and Italian.

What you gain by switching to OptiRoad.
A flat rate of 19 € then 49 € per month, with unlimited optimizations from the Pro plan. No cost that explodes with the number of stops or drivers.
Test it on your own routes, with no credit card: 5 optimizations per month up to 10 stops, exactly where the result is mathematically optimal.
Interface, emails and pages in French, English, Spanish, German and Italian. Ideal if you operate across several European countries.
Up to 10 stops, OptiRoad tests every combination and guarantees the shortest route. Beyond that, the nearest-neighbor plus 2-opt algorithm stays within a few percent of the optimum.
To be fair: Circuit remains an excellent product in several respects.
Circuit offers a polished native mobile app for drivers in the field. OptiRoad currently runs as responsive web.
Photo, signature and recipient notifications are built in. If proof of delivery is central for you, that is a strength of Circuit.
Circuit is very widespread, with a large community and plenty of user feedback.
For multi-stop route optimization, yes: OptiRoad handles time windows and up to 10 vehicles. If you rely on a native driver app and photo proof of delivery, keep that in mind.
Yes. OptiRoad's free plan does not ask for a credit card: 5 routes per month up to 10 stops, enough to compare on your real addresses.
For a solo driver or a small team, usually yes. OptiRoad is a flat rate (19 € then 49 € per month) where Circuit is billed by stop tiers and per seat. Check each service's current pricing for your volume.
No. You keep multi-stop optimization, time windows and multi-vehicle, plus the guaranteed optimum up to 10 stops and an API on the Business plan.
