Free route planning for reps
Free route planning in this category usually means a capped number of stops, a trial that expires, or a free tier missing the part you need. Check three things: whether there is a stop limit, whether it expires, and whether it works with no signal. KnockMode is free for one rep with no card and no expiry.
What free usually means
Most often a stop cap low enough to be hit in an afternoon, or a time-limited trial described as a free plan. Both are legitimate business models and both are worth identifying before you build a season around them.
The three questions
Is there a cap on doors. Does it expire. Does it work offline. The third is the one that fails in the field rather than on the pricing page.
What ours is
One rep, unlimited doors on your own map, no card and no expiry. The limits that do exist are 90 days of door history and a single seat, and map coverage is a Texas extract today.
The paid tiers are unbuilt, so there is currently nothing to upgrade to even if you wanted to.
Common questions
- Is KnockMode actually free?
- Free for one rep, no card, no expiry. The limits are 90 days of door history and one seat.
- What is the catch?
- Map coverage is Texas today, and there is no team layer. Companies will eventually pay for the team features; a solo rep has nobody to overlap with.
- Do free route planners cap the number of stops?
- Most do. It is the first thing to check, because the cap is usually reachable in a single good afternoon.
