In their own words
GraphHopper
GraphHopper is a routing and route-optimization platform for applications and transportation operations. Its routing APIs provide travel times, distances, turn-by-turn directions and vehicle-specific profiles, including custom profiles. Optimization can account for time windows, vehicle capacities and service times, with a maximum of 30 stops. Additional tools cover address and coordinate geocoding, territory planning, GPS-track processing, distance and time calculations, and service-area mapping. Traffic-aware planning uses TomTom traffic data. GraphHopper uses OpenStreetMap data and says it works with Thunderforest and MapTiler. The commercial APIs are built on the open-source, Java-based GraphHopper engine and jsprit, supporting cloud servers, mobile devices and offline use. It is available through web, API, Android, iOS and self-hosted deployments. The Free plan is non-commercial; paid plans start at €69 per month. All plans include online support, updates and at least weekly OpenStreetMap data updates.
