Why This Exists

            
Self-hosting OSRM means a 128GB server and ongoing DevOps work. Enterprise providers mean "contact us" pricing and sales calls. I wanted something in between — a routing API you can start using in 30 seconds for $0. So I built it.

            

            
Not for you if: you need global coverage (NA and EU-only right now), real-time traffic data, sub-10ms latency guarantees, or enterprise SLAs with legal contracts. No hard feelings.

        


        

            

                
Need something custom?

                

                    I also build custom solutions — routing stack deployments, custom routing integrations, geospatial data pipelines, or anything in the routing/logistics space. If you need a bespoke solution built by someone who knows this stack inside and out, let's talk.

Questions?

            

                

                    
What's the catch?

                    
No catch. This is a side project filling a gap in the market. The free tier subsidizes itself through the paid tier.
                    I'm not trying to get rich, just break even while providing value.

                


                

                    
Is this production-ready?

                    
For small-to-medium projects, absolutely.
                    But if you need five-nines, sub-millisecond latency, and legal contracts, you probably need enterprise anyway.

                


                

                    
What's covered geographically?

                    
North America and Europe. Need more regions? Email me — I'll add them based on demand.

                


                

                    
How does this compare to Google Maps?

                    
OSRM routing quality is competitive with Google for distance matrix and directions.
                    VROOM handles fleet optimization like Google's Route Optimization API.
                    You won't get real-time traffic data, but for 90% of use cases, this works great — at a fraction of the cost.

                


                

                    
Can I switch from self-hosted OSRM or VROOM?

                    
Yes! The APIs are compatible with standard OSRM and VROOM, so migration should be straightforward.
                    You'll save on server costs and DevOps time.

                


                

                    
Who runs this?

                    
One person (me). No VC funding, no team, no corporate overhead.
                    Just someone who knows routing well and saw a market gap worth filling.
