What it really isSpoke Dispatch (fka Circuit for Teams) — stop-volume-based route optimization and last-mile delivery dispatch platform for multi-driver teams.
Our takeFormerly Circuit for Teams, this product rebranded as Spoke Dispatch in October 2025.
Pricing uses stop-volume plans starting at $125/mo; there is no free plan, only a trial, and this is squarely last-mile delivery logistics software. Spoke Dispatch shines on ease of use, driver-app UX, and proof-of-delivery workflows, but its route optimization engine has been criticised for producing inefficient routes at scale.
Why we rate itSpoke Dispatch earns strong marks for its clean interface, quick time-to-value, and Shopify/Zapier integrations that appeal to e-commerce sellers managing their own deliveries.
Driver adoption is unusually high thanks to a well-designed mobile app.
The catchRoute optimization has been criticised for overlapping, inefficient routes ('spaghetti routes'); cross-route stop editing is clunky; no native GPS live fleet tracking for managers.

Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Fast: import a stop list and dispatch routes in under 10 minutes; driver app requires minimal training.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    Per-stop overages accumulate quickly above plan thresholds; route optimization quality degrades on dense or geographically complex deliveries.
  3. Walled garden
    Moderate: Shopify/Zapier integrations and data export exist, but historical driver analytics are locked to the $1,000/mo Expert tier.
