How do Track-POD and Track That Ride differ?

Track-POD, as described on its pricing page in October 2026, combines electronic proof of delivery with route planning and a native driver app. Its per-driver plans run from $49 to $89 a driver a month on annual billing, with a three-driver minimum, and it also offers per-order plans from $510 a month for 3,000 orders.

Track That Ride overlaps on proof of delivery and live tracking, but not on route planning. It charges per delivery rather than per driver, so a firm with occasional drivers or uneven weeks only pays for the deliveries it runs. Its strength is the record behind each delivery: status changes with who made them and where, the route, the customer’s view and a log of who looked at the audit.

Which pricing model suits you?

Per-driver pricing is predictable and works well when every driver is busy every day. Per-delivery pricing suits firms with part-time drivers, seasonal peaks or fewer than three drivers. Use our cost per drop calculator to see what a delivery costs you today, then compare each model against your real monthly volume.

Where Track-POD is stronger

Route planning and optimisation, a native app with scanning and cash on delivery, branded tracking URLs, more dashboard users and Zapier integrations. If those matter to your operation, Track-POD is the more complete tool.

Choose Track-POD if…

  • you need route planning and automatic assignment alongside proof of delivery
  • drivers need a native app with barcode scanning, cash on delivery or vehicle checks
  • you want branded tracking pages and several dashboard users
  • you run a steady fleet where per-driver pricing works out cheaper than per delivery

Choose Track That Ride if…

  • you have fewer than three drivers, or drivers who only work some days
  • you want to start with no monthly fee and pay only for deliveries you run
  • your disputes need an audit trail: who changed what, when and where, and what the customer saw
  • you want drivers to start without installing anything
