Extreme usage on our service is not a fixed number. It's defined as 5 times the average number of routes that users plan on a day. And it's stretched if the number of stops is low or the load on our servers is low. On average, you should have no problem calculating approximately 5,000 stops a day, which boils down to 100 routes with 50 stops, or 50 routes with 100 stops.

The RouteXL website, Apps and API made available under a Fair Use Policy. There is no limit on the number of routes you plan each day, unless your usage is extreme.

Extreme usage

Extreme usage on our service is not a fixed number. It's defined as 5 times the average number of routes that users plan on a day. And it's stretched if the number of stops is low or the load on our servers is low. On average, you should have no problem calculating approximately 5,000 stops a day, which boils down to 100 routes with 50 stops, or 50 routes with 100 stops.

If you go beyond the limit, you won't be cut off. But route planning will be slower and we may contact you to find a solution.

Geocoding

RouteXL uses several geocoders which set their own usage limits, i.e. Google allows 2,500 geocoding requests a day. Make use of the Import button to re-use locations and minimize the need for geocoding. Or you may select another Geocoding service in the Options and continue your work.
