The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Leica Infinity leica publishes no pricing at all and sells through dealers, so identical firms in different regions pay different rates for the same modules and cannot benchmark a quote.; Route4Me free mobile plan limited to 10 stops per route, restricting use for growing delivery operations
  • They diverge on capability: Leica Infinity covers Multi-sensor project, Route4Me covers Core Functionality.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Leica Infinity

  • Leica publishes no pricing at all and sells through dealers, so identical firms in different regions pay different rates for the same modules and cannot benchmark a quote.
  • It is modular, which means the advertised capability list is not what you get: sensor and processing modules are licensed separately and the useful configuration costs considerably more than the entry one.
  • Third-party instrument data is supported but always second-class; a mixed Leica and Trimble fleet will have one manufacturer’s raw data going through a lossier import path.
  • Windows only, with no macOS, Linux or browser option, which is a hard constraint for organisations moving field and office work to tablets or cloud desktops.
  • Perpetual licences require an ongoing customer care contract to receive updates and support, so the perpetual option saves less over five years than it first appears.

Route4Me

  • Free mobile plan limited to 10 stops per route, restricting use for growing delivery operations
  • GPS tracking, SMS notifications, and avoidance zones are paid add-ons that significantly increase total cost beyond base plan pricing
  • Customer support is slow or unresponsive with reported difficulty reaching support via phone and ticket channels
  • Route optimization quality issues and navigation inaccuracies reported by users
  • Limited integrations with third-party business systems beyond Zapier connections

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Leica Infinity: Is Leica Infinity available as a perpetual licence?

Yes. Leica sells Infinity both as a subscription and as a perpetual licence, though updates on a perpetual licence require an active customer care contract.

Route4Me: Does Route4Me have a free tier and what are the limits?

Route4Me offers a free mobile plan limited to 10 stops per route. A 7-day free trial is available with unlimited stops and tasks for testing professional features, though this trial is no longer offered as of early 2026.

Leica Infinity: How much does it cost?

Leica does not publish prices. Infinity is quoted per module through authorised dealers.

Route4Me: Can Route4Me work offline?

Yes. The iOS and Android driver mobile apps support offline mode. Once a route is opened while connected to the internet, the app will load it for offline access. When back online, the app automatically syncs offline data to the cloud.

Source
Leica Infinity: Does it work with non-Leica instruments?

It imports common third-party and standard formats, but Leica raw data is the first-class path. Expect reduced fidelity with competing raw formats.

Route4Me: What integrations does Route4Me support?

Route4Me integrates with 8,000+ apps via Zapier, including Slack, Google Calendar, Notion, Salesforce, and ServiceM8. The platform also connects with ERP, CRM, OMS, and TMS systems.

Source
Leica Infinity: Is there a free version?

No, only a 30-day trial.

Route4Me: What platforms does Route4Me support?

Route4Me is available on web (browser), iOS (14.0+), Android (9.0+), and desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux).

Source
Leica Infinity: Does it replace Cyclone for scanning?

No. Infinity handles scan data in a survey context; heavy registration and modelling work still belongs in Leica Cyclone.
