StopHarborAn OptimoRoute alternative built for small service teams.
OptimoRoute is a capable planner for delivery and field service operations, with scheduling across longer horizons. StopHarbor focuses on the daily plan of a small team and the hand-off to each worker.
What both do well
Both plan multi-stop routes for several workers with time windows and service durations. Both let you import stops from a spreadsheet and send routes to workers' phones. Evaluate either with a real day of your own stops rather than a demo dataset.
Why teams choose StopHarbor
- Flat pricing: Team is $59 a month for up to ten route workers and three planner seats.
- No driver app or login. Private links work on any phone and sync done marks when signal returns.
- Saved start locations, per-worker starts and finishes, and ZIP territories in one screen.
- Printable route sheets with a map for crews who prefer paper.
When OptimoRoute may be the better choice
If you plan a week or more ahead, need vehicle capacity, driver breaks or live tracking, or route hundreds of orders a day, a broader platform like OptimoRoute is likely to fit better. StopHarbor intentionally keeps to one day and one plan at a time.
Try them side by side
Import the same CSV into both trials, optimize, and compare total drive time, finish times and how long it took you to get each worker their route.
Questions to ask in any trial
How long does it take to go from your spreadsheet to routes you trust? Can you see every worker's finish time before sending anything? What happens to a stop that does not fit: is it dropped silently, scheduled late, or listed with a reason? Can workers use their routes without installing an app? The answers matter more than any feature list.
Questions
Does StopHarbor support time windows like OptimoRoute?
Yes. Stops can have arrive-after and arrive-before times, service minutes and priority; workers can have leave times and stop limits.
Does StopHarbor plan a week at a time?
No. Each plan is one day. Duplicate plans for recurring routes.
Can my drivers use Google Maps?
Yes. Routes open in Google Maps in order, split into legs when longer than ten stops.
