Which one to choose

Choose RouteCalc when

you quote transport and need the whole cost of a lane, country by country, in seconds, or you price tenders from Excel lists. It is the lightest of the three and the only one with an API that answers anonymously, 5 calculations per 24 hours.

Choose Impargo when

you run trucks and want planning, orders, drivers and documents in one system. Its toll and cost calculation is part of a transport-management platform, priced per user.

Choose TollGuru when

you need a toll figure for any vehicle on any continent, or a toll API for a consumer-facing product. It is not specific to freight quoting.

Many pricing teams use RouteCalc beside a TMS: the TMS runs the order, RouteCalc prices the lane and can feed the figure back through the API.

What RouteCalc does not do

No driver app, order management or tracking. It is a costing tool, not a TMS.
No axle count or CO₂-class input. Vehicles are 40 t, 12 t and 7.5 t weight classes.
No live traffic. Driving time is the planned HGV time.
Excel batch and history need a free account; guests calculate one route at a time.
