The NextBillion.ai Advantage Over Routific
Traffic and custom map
data-aware routing
Unlike Routific’s static simulations, NextBillion.ai accounts for real-time traffic and road restrictions to create dynamic routes that adapt to changing conditions. This ensures your routes and ETAs align with the actual on-the-ground conditions.
Flexible pricing for
predictable costs
With NextBillion.ai, you get custom pricing based on the number of tasks, assets or API calls. Unlike Routific’s vehicle-based fixed cost structure, our flexible model improves cost predictability and ensures you only pay when your vehicles are in use.
Building blocks for
end-to-end optimization
We go beyond route optimization. Utilize our complementary APIs to fit any complex workflow. Think road editing, clustering, geofencing, navigation, live tracking and more, all geared towards delivering tangible business impact.
See What Our Customers Are Saying
A great product that fills a distinct hole in the market.
NextBillion solves the problem of providing a high-performance mapping platform at scale. We use them to generate large distance matrices that we use to solve unique geospatial routing problems that arise in the short-haul trucking industry. We generate efficient delivery schedules in real time for hundreds of vehicles.
The Professionalism and Expertise to engage with Lithium is Commendable.
[What we like best] …the responsiveness and clarity from NextBillion.ai on any issue raised or question asked. [NextBillion.ai] helps us have a predefined setup that helps us define the ETA basis the geo-coordinates for our vehicles. It helps us point to the nearest road when the geo codes are not exact.
NexBillion.ai Routing API
fast and easy to use
Switching from the Google Distance Matrix to Nextbillion.ai routing was easy and has made our app faster and more robust. In addition, the number of calls to the API to get the same result set has decreased dramatically. Nextbillion.ai takes fewer API calls than Google for the same result sets and is more responsive.
Professional Geospatial Data Processing and Support
We admire NextBillion.ai's fast response and friendly manners whenever we need professional support in geospatial data processing. They have delivered a valuable service and support to our company that we appreciate.

Frequently asked questions
Routific is better suited to more standardized delivery-planning workflows with simpler routing requirements. NextBillion.ai provides greater flexibility for enterprises that need to model specialized operational rules, vehicle requirements and optimization goals.
Businesses can also incorporate custom map data and routing preferences, allowing the optimization engine to reflect their actual operating rules rather than relying on a standardized delivery-planning model.
These capabilities help fleets plan safer, more efficient and regulation-aware routes while avoiding unsuitable roads, bridges, tunnels and service roads.
Businesses can also apply custom routing rules and map data, ensuring routes align with their vehicles, service areas and operational requirements.
This makes it suitable for enterprise operations that require frequent batch planning, dynamic re-optimization and reliable performance as routing volumes increase.
Businesses can preserve committed tasks or existing assignments while adjusting only the affected parts of the schedule, helping accommodate changes with minimal disruption to ongoing routes.
It also offers tools such as the Road Editor for applying custom road restrictions and routing preferences. Together, these capabilities help businesses build end-to-end workflows covering planning, dispatch, navigation, tracking and route analysis.
For organizations with fluctuating demand or seasonal vehicle usage, NextBillion.ai’s flexible structure can improve cost predictability by aligning expenses more closely with actual platform usage.
