Why the models rank NextBillion.ai — on best route optimization api for delivery fleets
“The best value-for-flexibility pick — near-Google constraint coverage (soft time windows, driver breaks, zones, load types, re-sequencing mid-route) at materially lower cost, with willingness to customize map data and constraints for individual fleets; it has become the default for mid-size last-mile operators priced out of Google, and ranks #2 largely on that cost-per-capability assumption”
