Rooto Work · compared
A Route4Me alternative for the solo driver
Route4Me is a fleet product first. Forty thousand businesses use it, and a dispatcher with a hundred vans gets a lot for the money. A single driver tends to find something else: a Basic tier that needs add-ons to do the day, free routes that expire in seven days, an account to keep signed in, and a navigation screen that many drivers end up handing to Google Maps or Waze anyway. Rooto Work is the other shape: one driver, one price, no account, the driving built in, and a day that keeps working with no signal.
The short version
- No add-ons. Time windows, "do this first", end the day at a stop or back at the start, voice and camera stop entry, stop status, notes and photos: one price, all of it, for one driver.
- Nothing expires, no account. Your days are kept on the phone for as long as you like and export as a spreadsheet. There is no sign-in, so there is nothing to lock up or sync.
- The driving is the point. Rooto Work lives inside a navigation app: lane guidance, speed limits, speed and red-light cameras, hazards from other drivers, CarPlay and Android Auto. You do not leave it for Google or Waze.
- No signal, no problem. Skip a stop, re-order, get rerouted after a wrong turn, search an address, all on the phone. Route4Me's driver app needs a connection for the plan to change. Run the two-minute test on both.

Where Route4Me is still ahead
If you are the dispatcher, not the driver, Route4Me is the bigger tool: a web console, team routing, telematics, signatures and a proof-of-delivery PDF, and an API. Rooto Work does not have a dispatcher's screen and does not pretend to. It is for the driver who gets a list and plans their own day, and for the owner-operator who is both. Signatures are on the list; the photo and the note at the door are there today.
Move your routes
- In Route4Me, export the route as a CSV, or copy the addresses from the stop list.
- In Rooto Work, open the planner and tap Import for the file or Paste for the text. A name column becomes the stop's name; a note column becomes the note at the door; a time becomes the window.
- Tap Best order, then Start.
Every Rooto day exports as the same spreadsheet, so a week's trial costs you nothing in routes, and nothing is held hostage if you go back.
What it costs
Rooto Work is a tier of Rooto Pro: everything Pro does on every drive, plus the day planner, at one price with a 30-day free trial and no add-ons. The current price and the founding-driver price for the first 500 subscribers are on the Rooto Work page.
