Who is this delivery planner for?

This free route planner is built for independent delivery drivers and small local courier teams. If you’re handling a light or occasional delivery workload, say two or three routes with up to 20 stops each, this tool fits the bill.

For professional courier companies running high-volume operations with multiple drivers, it may not be enough. Those teams typically need last mile management software that goes beyond route planning.

Does this free delivery planner have unlimited stops?

No. The Spoke free route planner allows up to 20 stops per route and 3 optimized routes per day. If you need more stops than that, you’ll need to pay for route planning software.

Can I plan a route in ChatGPT or Claude?

Yes. Add Delivery Planner by Spoke from the apps in ChatGPT or the connectors in Claude, then ask for a route in a chat, followed by your addresses. You can paste a list or spreadsheet rows too.

It finds each address and opens a short form in the chat, where you check the matches, set your start and end location, the time at each stop and your units, then optimize. You get the stops in optimized order with the total time and distance, plus a QR code and link to share with your driver.

Can you edit routes in the Spoke free route planner?

An optimized route is fixed once it’s made. To make changes, open the route actions menu and choose Duplicate to a new plan. This copies every stop into a new plan you can add to, remove from, and re-optimize.

Does the app save my route?

Yes, the Spoke free route planner saves your route automatically. If you close the browser and return within 24 hours, your optimized route will still be there.

Can I use the Spoke free route planner on my phone?

Yes. Pasting a list of addresses works the same on a phone as it does on a desktop. You can also send routes straight to your phone and navigate each stop in Google Maps, Waze or Apple Maps.

When should I upgrade to Spoke Dispatch?

When your routes are bigger than 20 stops, you’re planning routes for multiple drivers, routes change after you’ve planned them, someone needs proof of delivery, or people keep asking where their delivery is.

Spoke Dispatch plans start at $125 a month with unlimited drivers, routes and dashboard users, and there’s a free trial of the full product.
