At a glance.
| What matters | NaviBatch | Spoke (formerly Circuit) |
|---|---|---|
| Free plan | Free download with a Starter plan; current limits are shown in the app. | Unlimited routes, up to 10 stops per route. |
| Paid plans (US App Store) | Pro $9.99/month or $59.99/year. | Lite $9.99/month; Premium $19.99/month or $119.99/year. |
| Platforms | iPhone (iOS 17 or later). | iPhone (iOS 17 or later) and Android. |
| Address input | Screenshots, long images, video, files, paste or manual entry, then a review step. | Typing, voice, Live Text (camera) and spreadsheet import. |
| Stop order | Full-route optimization for flexible lists, or keep the company sequence and optimize only a selected group. | Route optimization with delivery time windows and stop priorities. |
| Swapping stops between groups | Sort routes: Optimize (Beta, Pro) lists one-for-one swaps between non-adjacent groups. Sort numbers and order inside each group stay. You open each pair on a map with road lines, then decide. | Help pages describe stop IDs that stay fixed once a route is confirmed, per-stop order settings, Skip optimization, and drawing a group on the map before reoptimizing. The stop-change article does not describe a two-stop swap. Check the app for your workflow. |
| Navigation | One push sends a group of up to 14 stops to Apple Maps; Google Maps handoff takes up to 10. | Built-in navigation powered by Google, with options to switch to Apple Maps, Waze, HERE WeGo or Sygic. |
This table summarizes public product information, not a controlled performance test. We have not verified an identical group-only optimization or 14-stop Apple Maps handoff in Spoke; that is not a claim that it lacks those features.
Key differences.
01 Where your addresses come from
NaviBatch reads the screenshots, long images, videos and files you already have, then lets you review each stop. Spoke centers on typing, voice, Live Text and spreadsheets.
02 Who decides the stop order
NaviBatch can optimize the whole route or keep your company’s sequence and optimize one group. Spoke plans around time windows and priorities you set.
03 How you start navigating
NaviBatch sends one group of up to 14 stops to Apple Maps in one push, then the next group. Spoke navigates in its own app with Google, or switches to another map app.

Pick NaviBatch if…
- ✓ Your stops arrive as screenshots, long images, PDFs or other files.
- ✓ Company stop numbers reflect loading order and you need to keep that sequence.
- ✓ You want to review every address before you start driving.
- ✓ You navigate with Apple Maps and want up to 14 stops per push.
Pick Spoke if…
- ✓ You plan routes from scratch by typing, voice or spreadsheet.
- ✓ You need delivery time windows and stop priorities.
- ✓ You drive on Android, or switch between iPhone and Android.
- ✓ You prefer turn-by-turn navigation inside the route app.
Try both on the same route.
1. Import the same delivery list into both apps and check for missing rows, units and duplicates.
2. Confirm that each planned order still matches how your packages are loaded.
3. Count the taps needed to start navigation and to continue with the next stops.
Common questions.
Can I swap two stops between groups without changing Sort numbers?
On a Sort route, NaviBatch Optimize (Beta, Pro) looks for two stops that two non-adjacent groups could swap. Order inside each group stays by Sort, Sort numbers do not change, and nothing moves unless the driver turns the swap on. Spoke documents other ways to control stop order, including stop IDs that stay fixed, per-stop order settings and Skip optimization. We have not verified an identical swap review in Spoke; that is not a claim that it lacks one.
Is Spoke the same app as Circuit?
Yes. Spoke’s App Store listing names the app Spoke Route Planner, formerly Circuit Route Planner, published by Circuit Routing Limited.
Which is cheaper for a full year?
On the US App Store on October 18, 2026, NaviBatch Annual Pro was $59.99 per year. Spoke Premium Annual was $119.99, and twelve months of Spoke Lite cost $119.88. Spoke also has a free plan with up to 10 stops per route. Prices vary by region.
Does the 14-stop handoff limit my whole route?
No. Fourteen is the size of one Apple Maps handoff. NaviBatch splits a longer route into groups, and you open the next group when you finish the current one.
Can I keep my company’s stop order?
In NaviBatch, yes: you can keep the sequence from company stop numbers and optimize only a selected group. Spoke’s listing describes optimization with priorities and time windows; check whether it fits a fixed loading order.
Does Spoke work with Apple Maps?
Spoke’s pricing page says its built-in navigation is powered by Google and that you can switch to Apple Maps, Waze, HERE WeGo or Sygic. We have not tested how many stops it sends to Apple Maps at once.
