WHAT’S SO GREAT ABOUT ROUTE OPTIMIZATION?
✅ Less time on the road
✅ Lower gas bills
✅ Lower emissions
**WHY ARE WE GIVING THIS AWAY FOR FREE? WHAT’S THE CATCH?**
Paid subscriptions to Routific start at $49 a month, so why is this Chrome extension free? Two reasons:
🌲 A lot of harmful vehicle emissions are totally unnecessary. Our mission is to make route optimization available to everyone, so those emissions can be eliminated.
🟩 Many people only need to optimize a route a couple of times a year. A paid subscription makes no sense for them, and we can afford to offer this basic service free.
