Hikyaku vs. Competitors
Hikyaku is the only open-source, self-hostable delivery management platform in this comparison besides Fleetbase.
At a glance
Seven platforms, side by side
Open-source status, price and how self-serve onboarding really is usually the fastest ways to rule vendors in or out. Fleetbase, OnFleet and Spoke publish pricing publicly; eLogii, Bringg and Locus publish nothing at all and gate onboarding behind a sales call.
| Platform | Open source | Price | Free trial | Primary audience |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hikyaku | Yes | Free to self-host | Free for personal. Cloud trial offered for enterprises | SMB & mid-market delivery and courier teams |
| Bringg | No | Not published | No | Enterprise retail & logistics ops, plus IT/dev integrators |
| eLogii | No | $1,500–3,000+/mo | No | SMB/mid-market ops, expanding into field service management |
| Fleetbase | Yes | Free (self-host) · $25/mo (cloud) | 7 days or 50 resource units | Developers and technical operators |
| Locus | No | Not published (est. $100k+/yr) | No | Enterprise supply-chain & logistics leaders |
| OnFleet | No | $619/mo | 14 days, no card required | SMB/mid-market ops and developers |
| Spoke Dispatch | No | $125–1,000+/mo | 7 days, auto-converts to paid unless cancelled | SMB courier & delivery teams (10–50 drivers) |
Where Hikyaku differs
- - Open source and self-hostable: run it on your own infrastructure or start a cloud trial.
- - One platform for dispatcher dashboard, driver app, client/recipient tracking and route optimization, instead of a patchwork of point tools.
- - Recipient tracking pages, a tracking number and a live map, by default.
- - Virtual fuel cards issued straight from the dispatch dashboard, with per-driver spend controls.
