Aditya Singh

November 4, 2026

Shipday and Tookan both suit smaller delivery teams and both have free plans. They differ on who they are built for and how the cost grows with volume.

Disclosure: this comparison is published by Geofleet, and we list our own product first. Every other product is described from its vendor’s public product and pricing pages, and each gets a fair “best for”.

Key takeaways
  • Choose Shipday for restaurants and local shops. It has a larger free plan, POS links and access to on-demand couriers.
  • Choose Tookan for customizable on-demand dispatch. Paid plans include unlimited agents and a 14-day trial.
  • Cost flips with volume. Shipday Professional is cheaper at low volume; Tookan is cheaper by about 5,000 tasks.

Tookan’s annual billing lowers these figures, and its connected-stop rule can change how many tasks you use. Tookan also treats route optimization as a paid add-on according to our earlier review, so include it if you need it.

Dispatch and features

Shipday covers automatic assignment, tracking, route optimization on paid plans, branded tracking pages and proof of delivery, with POS and ordering integrations and on-demand courier access. Tookan offers automated dispatch to the nearest available agent, even on its free plan, along with an agent app, proof of delivery, an API and SDK, and multi-fleet features.

When neither is the right fit

If you run several hubs, multi-leg shipments or a mix of your own drivers and carriers, look at a platform built for that. Geofleet combines route optimization, auto-allocation, branded tracking and shipper and carrier portals.

Geofleet has no free plan, so a single restaurant under 300 orders a month will usually do better on Shipday’s free plan.
