FAQ

Questions OpenRouteService owners ask.

  • 01

    Is the OpenRouteService API free?

    Yes. ORS offers a free Standard plan with generous daily limits for all services (directions, isochrones, matrix, geocoding, and optimization). No credit card required. Higher rate limits are available through the Collaborative plan for non-profits, academics, and government organizations.

  • 02

    What routing profiles are supported?

    ORS supports driving-car, driving-hgv (heavy goods vehicles), cycling-regular, cycling-road, cycling-mountain, cycling-electric, foot-walking, foot-hiking, and wheelchair. Each profile optimizes routes based on road network restrictions specific to that transportation mode.

  • 03

    Can I solve vehicle routing problems with time windows and capacity constraints?

    Yes. The VRP optimization capability uses the VROOM solver. Define jobs with locations, service times, and time windows, then define vehicles with start/end locations, capacities, and operating hours. The solver returns optimized assignments and routes for your entire fleet.
